Well yesterday I turned 17 months old and I just thought I would give all of you, my friends, a little update on what I am up to these days. I am still sleeping about 12 hours a night, but now I am getting tired around 6:30! School really wipes me out, I've gotta tell ya. Speaking of school I have now been there for one month, and I don't even cry when Mom and Dad drop me off anymore. I just get into the groove and start playing with my new friends Charlie and Lola. I can point to my my hair, nose, ears, eyes, mouth and tummy now when you ask me to. And I definitely understand more than you people give me credit for. When Mom says, "Hey Kate, are you ready for dinner?" I will run to my high chair as if to say, "Heck yes I am ready for dinner!" No real news on the hair front. I still don't have enough to even put a clip in. Oh well. I also have found some new friends around here to chase around. They go by the names of Pater, Willie and Lucy. I love to chase them and try to give them pets but they aren't so sure about being my friend yet. On a sour note, I have also really gotten a bit of a temper in the past few weeks. If I get frustrated at something, I will kick and hit, YIKES! Just don't mess with me, okay? Some of my favorite activities are sitting in my chair and reading a book, swimming in the pool, riding in my cozy coupe, putting my baby doll to bed in her crib and pushing her around in her stroller, helping Mom to water her plants (i.e. playing with the water hose). I chit chat all of the time, but the only things people seem to understand that I say are "Mama", "Dada", "Dog", "Duck", "Ball", "This", "That", "Night Night", "Uh oh", and "Dip dip (this means ketchup)". This has been a wild ride so far!
