Little Katie. She is turning into a little person right before my eyes. I can't believe that she really isn't a little infant any longer. I am falling in love with her more and more each day. We went on a Disney Cruise with my Grandma, My Mom, and Paul's parents last week and Katie ate up all of the attention! Now she wants to be held all of the time by someone (she got used to never being alone and being held and paid attention to every minute of the day!) She loved all of the attention on the cruise and loved EVERYONE...from our extended family, to the servers, ship staff, and even all of the characters! She wanted to be held by the Disney characters and would grab them and reach out to any one that she saw. This little stinker is not shy at all!
She also started something new on the ship....she crinkles up her little nose when she laughs or smiles. This never fails to make everyone around her laugh and smile...so she does it even more. It is really cute! She took her first 2-3 solo steps on the cruise. Walking from a table to me...twice...but hasn't really tried to walk on her own beyond that yet. She is really steady when walking now and stands on her own...and goes from sitting to standing without pulling up on anything...so it is really just a matter of time at this point!
Katie says Mama and Dada...but not a lot. She babbles and talks in her own language....and CRIES when she is not being held! She is very very active and STRONG! She will push her way out of your arms when she wants to be doing something or going somewhere. She seems to want to be moving all of the time. And she hardly sleeps at all! She takes a short morning nap (maybe 30 mintues) and then a short afternoon nap (maybe an hour) and then doesn't go to sleep until 9:00 pm and is up by 7:00am....she just can't slow down!
She HATES to ahve her teeth brushed or her diaper changed. When we take off ehr diaper....seh grabs her but and squeezes it and squeezes it....it is so cute. Then she crawls away so that you can't put a new diaper on her and squirms and rolls around like a fish when you are trying to fasten her diaper.
She eats everything she is given, but only if she is alowed to feed herself. (She will refuse anything that we try to feed her unless it is a drink or icecream or some other sweet item....which she cannot refuse!) She doesn't care for bananas, though (whcih were one of Jack's favorites) and hates oatmeal (another of Jack's favorites at this age!). She had a bean burrito last night and loved it...go figure. This little girl is her own person....and I love this little person more and more every day!
