Catching Up

Hey Everyone! Sorry it has been so long. Chris, Kate and I just moved into a new home. We are really excited, but have been busy. It happened fast. Here are a few things that we have been up to beside moving.

Kate is getting so big. She is offically not a baby anymore. She kept her baby look for a long time but its gone now. Being in a bigger place has made her much more independent. She has started going to nursery, evn though she is only 16 months old. Our new ward doesn't have very many toddlers, so they told us to bring her in. It was wonderful to sit through most of church and actually get to listen. She did end up crying and Chris had to go in with her, but it was better than roaming the halls with her.




I tried to teach Kate how to finger paint. I didn't know I would have to teach her because she seems pretty good at making messes herself, but I did. She didn't like having her hands dirty with paint. She was content with holding the bottles of paint. She really is her Father's child.



We got a new camera! Yah! I was practing pictures on my model! Can't you feel his enthusiasm.
Kate now has 12 teeth. She has two big front teeth with a gap in the middle. It is one of my favorite things when she smiles.

My friend Diana also had a baby. This is Kate and baby Lucy. She is so adorable. Kate loves on her as much as she can. She loves babies so much.
