10 months old

Katie is 10 months old

today. She has learned so much in one month! About 2 weeks after she turned 9 months old, while we were camping, she learned to crawl. It is so cute to watch her chubby legs going. She loves her new freedom and loves to crawl down the hall to find the kids. Dale has been working on teaching her "So Big" for a while. She finally learned how to do it and likes to do it over and over while she's eating. She also learned how to clap. All we have to do is say "yay" and she claps. She likes to play with the phone. If we say "Say hi to baby" she will put the phone up to her ear with a big grin on her face. Just this week, she learned to suck from a straw. We love this because it makes eating at restaurants so much easier. She has also found a new love for baby dolls. She loves to hold them up to her face and pat them. She will play on the floor for a long time with her baby doll. It's amazing to me how loving dolls just comes with being a girl! When she wakes up from her nap, she likes to sit in her crib and play with her stuffed animals. She will play for a long time before she cries to get out. Then when we come in to get her, she gets so excited. She continues to bring a great amount of joy to our home. Everyone loves to sit by, hold, kiss and talk to Katie!
