catch up on kate

At 21 months she decided to walk! Yeah!!!! Life is much easier now that she walks. Two days after she began walking she was jumping and running, four days later she was walking in high heels. I think it is safe to say she could have started walking a bit earlier.
This is one independent girl. She knows what she wants and she loves to be included. She loves giving and getting hugs. She loves showing you what she put in her mouth and she will not close it until you tell her good job. She loves all princesses and pointing out who is who in her books. She is always carrying a polly and a few dresses to go along with them. She loves putting things in purses, wearing jewelry and headbands, bows and piggies. She is the roughest, toughest, girly, girl I have ever seen. She loves riding on bikes and stuffing things down her shirt.
She wants to do everything Elle does. At Elles swim class she in constantly trying to jump in. During Elles dance class any time I turn my head to check on Gray she bolts in to Elle. In the morning instead of "Mommy", I hear "Elll". She loves and looks up to her big sister. We just started an art class here at the house so she can be included.
