First and foremost I would like all of you to know that I have finally done away with the bassinet! (now kate sleeps in a pack n play next to my bed, I am so pathetic). This change took place when Kate learned to tip it so it leans against the wall!
Kate has discovered some new talents in the last week or two, she now crawls and pulls herself up to the table (or whatever else she may come in contact with) and then she attempts to rip everything off the table and chew on it, and while she is chewing she forgets that she needs to hold on to the table and she tips over and cries, or if she doesn't tip over then mom or dad comes and takes away her chew toy and then she cries... and then she does it all over again. It has become a viscious cycle. She is also sporting two new teeth which brings us to a grand total of four teeth on the bottom! and my favorite new talent is her first word! Momma momma momma! She doesn't say much else nowadays and it has become a frustration for Chad, ha ha. I say "Kate who is your favorite?" and she says "momma" its so funny.
She has also taken a liking to laundry baskets as you can see. My mom and I were busy doing strawberry and raspberry jam and Kate was crawling all over the place so we got creative and found a way to contain her, and it worked until she discovered she could stand and hold onto the sides.One night we got creative and took a picnic down to utah lake to watch the sunset, it was beautiful, but a little cold.

Kate definitely was not the biggest fan of this idea because it was so cold but I think she might warm up to it as the weather warms up.And my cute cousin Michelle is getting married in six days and I get to do her hair! I am so excited! Doesn't she make a beautiful bride!

Well that is everything else that we have been up to!
