18 Months

Katherine has officially passed the 1 and a half year milestone! Here are some of our favorite Katherine moments, and our favorite Katherine pictures:

Katherine LOVES playing outside. Whether it's a trip to the park, playing on slides, going for walks, or just running back and forth on our front sidewalk sharing hugs and kisses with Mommy and Daddy, she's a happy girl. :-)

One of Katherine's favorite books right now is "I Love you Through and Through." When she wants to read it, she says, "bum-bum!" because the book starts off "I love your top side, and your bottom side."

Here's Katherine on her first moonwalk at Mommy's company picnic. The bouncing there seemed to inspire her, and she now loves to jump ALL the time. Often when we come to get her from her crib, she'll be bouncing up and down shouting "ribbit ribbit ribbit!"

Katherine insists on doing everything all by herself. Here you can see she insists on feeding herself at mealtime, which can often turn out pretty messy. She also always asks for 2 spoons (luckily she can't count any higher yet). ;-)

On Tuesday we had a good trip to the doctor's. We were a bit more prepared than last time, and we actually weighed Katherine ahead of time (22lbs), and measured her in her sleep (31.5in). She still screamed through the whole exam, but the experience was at least shorter, and a tiny bit easier. Luckily when she goes back at 2 we don't have to give her any shots!!
