17 Months

17 Months- July 15, 2013 

Katherine Grace is eating a lot better!

Food favorites: whole strawberries, veggie sticks, bananas, turkey dogs, turkey deli meat, orange juice, mini corn dogs, lemonade, goldfish crackers, TCBY frizen yogurt, refried beans and most importantly popcorn.

She is running everywhere, jumping,  loves to go to the park and go down the slide by herself. She has mastered small amounts of stairs,  she plays her piano, dances to music, pick out books to read and throws away things in the trash. She loves to go swimming,  play with balloons, flush the toilet, play in her playhouse (thank you Jacquelyn and Juliette Grace), play with her fisher price teapot, help with cleaning around the house, chasing Mya and riding Maggie. She blows kisses, waves bye, bye. Will put herself to bed by getting her lovies, saying night night and going to her room. She is almost transitioned into 1 afternoon nap,  eats all solids and won't even eat the baby food pouches anymore

Katherine Grace's words: nana for banana, no, yes, please (tease), dog, mama, dada, hi, hello, all done and ball and she makes all sorts of animals sounds.

Fun Times at the Lake

From July 1st (I don't know why it never published) 

 I took Katherine Grace out to my parent's lake house over the weekend. Austin was busy working so we decided to head out for some fun at the lake. K.G got to take her first boat ride. She liked it until my dad (Gumby), decided to go fast. She wasn't a fan of the wind in her face and the wind blowing her hair around. She is like her mama. I like to just cruise and watch the other boats and look at the houses around us. She also got to run in their big yard, play in her baby pool and feed the ducks and catfish. It was a nice escape from the city and a good chance to spend time with my parents and my sister. It was a great time had by all. We are planning to go back again soon with Austin this time, hopefully!
