Hi Sweet Girl!
Wow, its been a while since Mommy blogged. You are 1 years old and more fun than ever. Daddy and I had a 1st birthday party for you here in Louisville on your actual birthday with 15 of our friends from church. You had a blast opening presents and eating the WHOLE cupcake. You were in a sugar coma. It was hilarious! Your little arm hung over the side of your highchair and your head was just hanging with your eyes opening and closing every slowly hehe! You slept really well that night :) 2 weeks later we all left for 2.5 weeks of vacation in Florida. (Daddy only got to stay for a long weekend) You did amazing, again, on the airplane. Nana and Granddaddy Pops spoiled you ROTTEN! We had another (bigger) party for you in Florida with all our friends and family in Florida. They showered you with so many wonderful gifts - you loved all the attention and smiled SO big while we all sang "Happy Birthday" to you. :)
What you do now -
You love to share your food with anyone around you - sharing is caring :)
You can climb to the top of the stairs in our townhouse, all by yourself
You push-walk ALL the time - we are just waiting for you to start walking on your own.
You are a very cautious baby - unless you know you can do something 100% and do it very well you don't attempt it
You still love to eat - your favorites right now are gerber cookies, green grapes, and broccoli
You can say - mommy, daddy, nana, yes, light, and eyes
You can point to my eyes, noses, ears, and hair
You give kisses freely on the lips :)
You love fans and always point to them
You LOVE to watch Jeopardy and LeapFrog (Violet, Eli, Penny, Dash, and Scout)
When we tell you to cover your eyes in the morning because its going to be bright (turning on the lights) you cover your eyes with both hands - oh love I love you!
You are my joy!! XOXO

10.5 Months
Cate,
Today is July 1st. You are 10.5 months old and so much fun! I'm enjoying being a stay at home mommy more and more everyday.
You had fish for the first time tonight and loved it.
You also love to eat Gerber granola bars and everything mommy is eating. You spit your paci out and squeal until I give you my food - ha!
You are pulling up on EVERYTHING and crawling very fast.
You pull everything off the shelves in the kitchen and sit under my feet while I'm cooking. Sometimes you pull on my pants until I pick you up...you like to see what I'm doing :)
You still love your bottle and are starting to feed yourself - yippee!!!!
You are waving hi and bye-bye. You know exactly what "going bye-bye" means and always crawl to the sliding glass door and wait for me :)
You love your Daddy so much. He makes you laugh really hard. He likes to live on the edge with you - throwing you in the air, flipping you around....basically he likes to give mommy heart attacks :)
Your favorite show is Jeopardy - don't ask me why but you will sit completely still and watch the whole show. You don't sit that still for anything else.
The bank and carwash make you cry. You don't like the loud sound when the money goes through the tunnel - it breaks my heart.
However, you really are the best baby! You go to strangers and smile at everyone. You are always SO good in the car and in the nursery at church.
You are the sweetest, most beautiful, curious, independent, lil stinker!
XOXO!!

June - 10 Months
Hi Sweet Girl,
You are so fun! I love our days together. You are crawling everywhere! (and quickly too!) You are keeping me on my toes :) You love to clap and you have started mimicing Daddy and I. You always wave at dogs and sometimes to people too. You still love car rides and people. Daddy and I took you to the pool, in our neighborhood, for the first time tonight. We had a blast! Daddy and I got Chick-Fil-A too. We went to the splash park this week - you love summer!
Schedule-
6:30 -Wake up. Daddy gives you a 6oz bottle
8am- You wake Mommy up. You eat part of a banana (real one) and pears with oatmeal or apples with oatmeal.
10am-Nap (til 11)
12- 4oz bottle, carrots (real ones) and fruit (pureed)
2:30-snack (whatever Mommy is eating or a muffin or yogurt bites or puffs - 8-10 pieces)
2:30-3pm-Nap (til 4:30)
5pm-4oz bottle, pureed veggie and whatever Daddy and I are having for dinner (just a few bites)
7pm-6oz bottle
7:30-8pm-Bedtime
You ate a waffle on Sunday. It was Mommy's but somehow it turned into yours :) Since it was supposed to be Mommy's it had butter and syrup on it. Hands down your favorite food -ha! You didn't take an afternoon nap - the sugar must have shocked your system :)
We are working on taking a sippy cup and/or straw. You will not drink water or juice :( Hopefully, you will soon. Love you, sweet girl!!

May 2013
Dear Cate,
On May 31st you started crawling :) I was in the kitchen cooking and you were in the "playroom," You got up on all fours, started rocking, then took off. I was SO proud of you, baby girl. I grabbed the video camera, recorded 4 videos, then sent a video to all our close friends and family. Everyone was cheering you on :)
We went to Florida for 2.5 weeks this month and you did so well adjusting. Nana and Granddaddy kept you busy with toys, eating out, balloons (5), walks, shopping, spinning in the chair, eating icees and cupcakes, etc. You had a blast and loved every second of it!
You started feeding yourself too - yay! You love yogurt bites, puffs, carrots, pasta, and ice cream.
Your new schedule
6:30am- wake up - Daddy gets you up :) 6oz bottle
8am- Mommy gets up and you get solids
10am- Nap
12pm- 6oz bottle and solids
2pm (or really whenever) -snack - yogurt bites, puffs or whatever mommy is eating
3pm- nap
5pm-dinner - 6oz bottle, solids and finger food
7pm- bedtime bottle
8pm-bedtime
I love you! ~Mommy

-You started eating yogurt bites. You LOVE them! Yay for finger foods!
-You figured out how to take off your diaper - lil stinker :)
I love you sweet girl! XOXO

Blessed...April 21-24
Sunday, April 21- Nick applied for a new job at UPS. We are praying for the Lord's best for our family. Whether it is this job (Mon-Fri, 8:30-4:30, normal schedule) or another one. We just want to be in the Lord's will.... because there is no better place to be.
Monday, April 22- We had The Papendorfs and Veitz over for dessert and game night. We haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Blessed with friends.
Tuesday, April 23- Cate and I went to Kosair's for her final neurologist appointment. She is doing awesome! We are in the clear!! Praise the Lord!! Who knew back surgery would be so easy?! Blessed!! I also organized a girls night. We went to Salsarita's and Clothes Mentor. So fun and much needed girl time.
Wednesday, April 24- I'm not sure why Cate was fussy all. day. long. but as I was venting to Mom about Cates' fussy day and it raining outside she said "Go to the mall, purchase an IPad and I'll pay for it" Umm...what?! My parents really are the best! Blessed! Also, Nick skipped class tonight to spend time with me and his fussy girl :) I made Eggplant Parm for the first time with pasta and kale (love Kale!) then we went to Fresh Market as a family and McDonalds for ice cream. Blessed...
