Today Katie is 14 months old. The first picture is representing her attitude the past couple of days. She has been crying every time she doesn't get her way. She is definitely use to getting her way. Everyone in the family loves to give her what she wants to make her happy. For the past couple of weeks when she gets mad she hits herself in the head. Sometimes it's just a little tap. If she's really mad, she will smack herself with both hands. That's what she was doing when I took the picture. She was mad because she didn't want to get dressed. I guess I should be glad she's not hitting anyone else. I don't think she wants to get older and have to be told "No" sometimes.
Luckily, today was a much better day. Katie was the sweet little baby we are use to having around. She must have been having PMS or something. She is getting big so fast! I just finished scrapbooking her first year. I was looking at her first photos and it seems like just yesterday that I was in the hospital holding our new baby girl. Here are some of the fun things Katie has learned recently. She has just started walking. She will only take about 4 or 5 steps then decide it's much faster to crawl. She can say a few words. She says Ya, No, Mama, Sometimes Daddy and Kara. She loves to eat and gets very excited when she manages to sneak into the pantry where she knows the fruit snacks are. I'm embarassed to admit this but she still sleeps with her binkey. She is by far our oldest to have a binkey. When we ask her if she wants to go to bed. She says "Yaaaaaaa" because she knows she can have her binkey. She has 4 binkeys and they are all in her bed. When I get her up, she has one in her mouth and one in each hand. She just sits there and switches them all around, giving them all a turn to be sucked on. I want to take them away but I don't how to do it. She still loves dolls. She especially loves it when Kierra will let her play with her American Girl dolls. She absolutely loves Kyson. She will find him and wrap her arms around his neck and just sit and hug him. She does it a lot and doesn't ever seem to get sick of it. Of coarse, everyone is jealous of Kyson and he loves it! She loves to dance with her Daddy. When he turns the music on, she will come sit at his feet and reach her arms up to him to let him know she wants to dance. She loves the fast ones and the slow ones. She has fallen asleep several times on his shoulder while he dances with her. She is always on the go. She doesn't sit still much. She likes to explore all the time. She doesn't like it when the kids go downstairs without her. She will stand at the gate and try and yell their names so they will come get her. When you to tell her to "smile" she makes the cutest face trying to smile. We sure are enjoying her (except when she's crying all day) and can't get enough of her sweet cheeks.

great post and she is such a cutie!
I cannot believe it has gone by soooo fast! She is such a darling little thing! I don't think it's a big deal that she has her binkies at bedtime but if you want to try and get them gone snip the tip off, that way they won't give the right effect when she sucks. Bryan and Kiersti had a nightmare of a time getting Lo to quit hers but when Kiersti cut the top she tried to suck it, then looked at it and tried again, then looked at Kiersti and said "broken" and dropped it on the floor and that was that. Lo had hers for a long time too, but at least she's not walking around with it in her mouth 24/7 trying to talk around the thing, that would be bad. Bedtime only isn't a big deal I don't think.
Susan, I just love that picture of Katie screaming, it is so funny.
