Lots of Firsts!!

Kate has experienced lots of new things the last few weeks.  Its amazing how fast she is growing, changing and learning new tricks.

- Babbling: She is a champion babbler now.  She has so many different sounds and will go on and on, its as if she's really trying to have a conversation with you.
- Grabbing: She loves her play mat and has gotten really good at grabbing the different hanging animals.  She can also reach and grab rattles and her ball.


Tummy Time: She is getting so much better at tummy time.  It's still not her favorite, but there's definitely improvement!
Sucking her thumb: She is officially a thumb sucker.  She uses it to self soothe, which means she is weaning herself from the pacifier.




Giggling: She has started to giggle!  Nothing consistently makes her do it, but it's so cute when she does.
Went to a basketball game!  We attended our first SU game, and brought Kate along with us!  She liked it, until she wanted to sleep and then it was too loud.  She did fantastic!
Played with other kids: She has really started noticing other kids, and loves to interact with them.  Good thing she has Sloan to play with during the week, and other babies to meet.

Kate has also started being generally more aware of her surroundings, and loves to look around.  She is not as much of a fan of her carrier any more because she faces in.  She flipped out in the grocery store the other day (first time that's happened!) and was only content when I took her out of the carrier so she could look around.  We have started using the stroller a lot more often for this same reason, and have even started running!  So many changes in such a short time, she continues to amaze us every day!
