Another update
It's been a while since I did an update and well, it's time for another one.
Kate is doing fabulous. We're keeping her busy with walks in the stroller or sled and trips in the car to visit people and she seems to love every moment of it. We were able to go to a friends place Friday night, put her to sleep there, and bring her home and put her to bed without an issue. What a relief. Now we know we can still socialize outside of the house without any major issues from Kate.
Jen and Kate started their "Talk with Me" class Thursday. This is a provincial gov't sponsored class which helps to teach us the proper way to communicate to her. She seemed to have enjoyed it.
Things are still positive here. She's still sleeping thru the night and still taking a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. We're still getting some company but not as much as before. if you want to come visit, come on over... just call first.
No real words yet - lots of baby babble, but nothing understandable. She's crawling up a storm, but no real walking yet. Lots of steps holding onto our hands and she can stand on her own for 5--10 seconds so any day now she should be off running like a track and field star.
One thing we've noticed about her is how "mechanical" she is... she needs to know HOW things work. What makes the pages of a book turn, how does her walker work, how does the sound come from that toy, and my favorite, what happens when I push the release button or squeeze the chest strap on the car seat. You need muscles to undo the car seat so she wont be getting out any time soon.
We're doing well, she's doing great and life here is good. Stop by and visit!
I'll upload some more pics later today.

Talk with Me for one year olds? You'll have to tell me more. Lucy is in Talk with me now to help with hard C's and L's. I'd be interested in hearing what they do with babies that aren't talking.
Love the update. Glad all is going well. I'm with Karen on the sleep thing. We got spoiled with the first one. Now, I have not slept through the night since Sept 12 2007...not that I'm keeping track!
