I have no excuses for not updating our blog other than first being busy packing and moving, and then becoming lazy in my updates. (again) So, here I am...attempting to keep you all updated on Kate's progress, and with a renewed hope that I will keep up with it better than the last time!
Kate has really been thriving here in Texas! We moved on January 3rd, and Kate took right to the new house. Her room is decorated similarly, so we think that helped her adjust to sleeping in a new place. She now has 5 teeth with the sixth one on it's way. Three on top, two on bottom. Her hair has gotten thicker and longer. In mid-March, she mastered crawling with her tummy off of the floor, and is now pulling up and walking along the furniture. Her favorite thing to do is take the pillows off of the couch. This week, she has begun the process of dropping her morning nap and transitioning to one nap a day. I'm not sure how I feel about this at all! It's an adjustment for both of us.
Kurt and I have joined First Baptist Burleson, and we love our new Sunday school class! There are several couples in there that have children close to Kate's age, and we have been on a play date already! Her nursery workers enjoy her so much, they won't promote her to the crawler room because they want to keep her with them!
We still miss all of our friends "back home" in Oklahoma, and we are really hoping the Lord will provide a way for us to return there after our two year adventure in seminary. For now, we settle for trips to visit. Most recently, we went up for Keli's wedding! Kate now has a new uncle Bryan. He's not real sure about her yet, but they seem to be curious about each other. We are so excited for them because they are living in North Dallas, so we get to see them more often.
Tiffany is about to leave to work overseas for a year and half, and we will miss her dearly. She has been a wonderful aunt to Kate, and she seems to be very influential on Kate's behavior! Anything Tiffany does, Kate will imitate. It's sweet until she starts sticking her tongue out because aunt Tiffany did it! We love you, Tiffany. Come home safe to us.
So, that's all for now. Hopefully the next update will be before Kate is 2 years old! :)
