Yes, I am finally posting about Kate turning 8 months! Now she's about 8.5 months, and the crazy thing is that if I had posted last Monday on the 5th, I wouldn't be able to say some of the things about her that I can now a week and half later, because that's how fast things change at her age! She is a jewel. She is becoming much more predictable and I love it. We went to Dr. B last Monday because I thought she might have an ear infection (just a cold), and she weighed 17 lbs, 5oz. We will get more stats at her 9 month check up in May. Her hair is darker than Vivian's, but still has a hint of an auburn color. Her eyes are still blue. She has two bottom teeth and is getting a third one right beside them. Her top gums are still pretty ridgy, so I don't foresee any top teeth for a while.

Kate is crawling fast and always on a mission. She pulls herself to standing. She climbs the two steps that connect our kitchen and living room. I have seen her take a few baby steps while holding onto our activity table or her music table. Her physical abilities are developing quickly. Crawling at this age has been difficult because she is a little young to understand "no", but we're working on it.

She will not sit still. Ever. She wiggles and squirms and wants to play on the floor. Even when I try to sit with her for a few moments before her naps, she wiggles and squirms for me to just go ahead and put her in the crib. She isn't crazy about the exersaucer or johnny-jump-up anymore
