14 months old!

Kate is not our baby anymore. She's a full-blown toddler. She went on her first Thelma and Louise roadtrip this month. She's communicating really well. She spontaneously says lots of words (Momma, Dada, Nana, Laura, Duck, Quack, Teddy, Puppy, Bye-bye, Hello, Cool, etc.), repeats dozens more and signs a lot of basic words (More, Please, Milk, All Done, Drink and Eat). She's running around really well and is gaining mastery of things like stacking cups and easy puzzles. She loves kicking and throwing balls, hugging dolls and stuffed animals, and reading books. She's getting pretty generous with her hugs and kisses, and her blown kisses have developed a very cute "mwah!" instead of the "mmmm" they used to be accompanied by. She still loves to eat, and has said "Amen!" with us a few times when we pray. I can't wait to see what she'll start doing next.

(I am about 13.75 months behind on Kate's scrapbook, so these help me keep track of what she's doing when so when I catch up, I'll know what to write!)
