8 Months Old!!!

Honestly, I'm in mourning... the loss of my baby...  
Baby Kate is no longer a baby in my eyes... 
She is HUGE and Loud and Demanding... 
I love her so, she just wants to go, go, go!!!  
Baby Kate still sleeps with us and 
nurses during the night and early morning, 
but other than those times, 
she really wants to be ON THE MOVE!!!!

The Weekly Chair Photo is almost impossible...

 So determined...

Into the kitchen...

On hands and knees...

 Over, under, and through...

So BIG...Baby Kate holds her arms up to be picked up...

Inside...Pulling herself up on her knees...

Outside...
literally wearing the exact same outfit 
Sarah and Anna refused to wear just moments before...
a 18-24 month Carter's romper...

Sitting pretty in a rocking chair...

Investigating grass...


AND...
Eating her 1st Pizza Bone...
With tears in my eyes...
I wonder...
How did this happen?
I must have blinked!!!

Mommy is so, so proud of you, Baby Kate!!! 
AND
SO GRATEFUL and THANKFUL that God blessed ME
after 15+ years of marriage to be your Mommy!!!

7 Months Old

Baby Kate's Seventh  Month was a month of huge developmental growth!!!

She started sitting by herself...

To Army Crawling...

and Growing her 1st tooth!!!
