Week 32: August 7-13, 2012

 What a week it has been!!!

 ARMY CRAWLING!!!



So...Friday night, I'm upstairs and come down the steps to hear Pat asking me..."What is your definition of crawling???"  I say, "No, no... don't tell me...I'm not ready..." About two hours later, he has put Kate on the floor...only because I left her at home to pick the boys up from a pool party...otherwise she would have been in my arms... and I see IT... I see her moving forward...moving arms and legs... I can't deny it any longer...  Pat proudly declares that I probably would have noticed sooner if I ever put her down...He's probably right...and I'm proud that Baby Kate was almost always in my arms...right where she should be!!!

Saturday morning, I'm hopeful she forgot her stunt from the night before...no luck...she is officially ON THE MOVE!!!

 FIRST TOOTH!!!

I now know she was feeling that 1st tooth with her tongue in this photo!!!
 
 Sunday afternoon, I put my finger in her mouth and felt it... her 1st tooth... it's on the bottom to her right...super sharp!!!  I have to admit, Pat acknowledged BOTH before me... but he didn't tell me about the tooth until I told him... then he says that he thought he felt that YESTERDAY... I told him if he could wait 24 hours to share... he could have waited the rest of his life and let me think I discovered it!!!

Next I told him that meant that I got to have another baby...since he discovered Baby Kate's two Firsts before me...he just laughed and walked away... 

I do have to admit that I was a bit nervous and feeling very vulnerable when I went to nurse Baby Kate on Sunday night... but realized that if I didn't feel the tooth that morning, I probably wouldn't feel it that night... so far so good!!!

I'm not ready for my BABY to grow up!!!
