Kate Update


Just thought I'd write a few things about our little Kate real quick. I really want to post pictures of our California trip, but Brian has them on his camera. But I'll get them and post them soon. We had so much fun!! It was really hard to come home to snow. Anyway Kate is such a fun baby, even if she is a bit of a momma's girl, and extremely clingy. I never realized how opposite two kids could be. She's finally starting to get a little more brave and be social. It's been rather nice. She is nine months and has been crawling and climbing for a couple months now. She loves to get into anything she can, especially the toilet. I thought we still had a few months . . . but anytime the bathroom door is open you can bet she'll be in there. Kate is still having a rough time with the tear ducts. The probing we had done didn't do much good and both eyes are still closed off. We have decided to go ahead with the surgery to put tubes in to open the ducts. The tubes will be left in for 10-12 weeks and then will be pulled out, in hopes to keep them open! The poor girl has to deal with me constantly wiping and cleaning her eyes. No fun. We have the surgery scheduled for the middle of May. Kate is still pretty small and petite, but oh so cute! She has four teeth now and still not much hair. She's started to stand by herself, and I'm sure it won't be long before she starts walking. Darn it! Then I'll really be in trouble trying to chase two. Lucy and Kate have lots of fun together. I often hear them giggling from the other room. It's so cute. I know this is really random, so I'll stop, but I wanted to write a few things so I don't forget!
