1.5

I'm guessing it never stops, but I just can't get over how fast Kathryn has grown.  It amazes me that she & Quinn actually "play" together now, as opposed to Quinn just pushing or pulling her around.  She is doing great in school and her teachers are constantly telling me how wonderful she is and how impressed they are with her adjustments to different activities.  One of her teachers told me "she is so sweet, but she definitely holds her own with the big kids out on the playground".  Guess her big sis has been giving her lessons ;)

She is doing great with her communicating-- some of her latest include:
Ninn (Quinn)
Daddy's (she is quick to let me know if I am drinking out of Dean's cup or touching his computer)
Mommy's
Glasses
Love u (so cute and most of the time she only says this for Dean)
Via (Olivia)
Alminds (loves almond slivers)
raisins

and she will even give us a short sentence every once in a while.  the other morning Dean was coming down the steps and she said "Daddy, sshhh baby   (she puts her baby doll to bed before we go downstairs in the am and loves telling everyone to shhhhh because the baby is sleeping)

She is still a Momma's girl, so we are working on detaching ourselves while we are at home, but that is our biggest challenge these days.  Overall, she is such a happy sweet girl and very easygoing.

Kathryn hasn't had an ear infection since the last batch and when we met with Dr Smith earlier this week, he said if she can make it to April, we might be able to skip the tubes.  He also has predicted her to have her Mommy and Papa's feet-- he said she'll be flat footed and predicted some pain and issues by the time she is a teenager.  Hoping he is wrong on that one...

She loves climbing and diving and I think she would do a headstand or summersault if I didn't have a panic attack every time she tried to stand on her head.  Since she only goes to school on Thursdays, I've signed her up for a tumbling class on Tuesday mornings this Spring while Quinn is in school... should be interesting!!

Here are her 18 month stats Height: 30" and weight 21.8* (*note this was 1 day after recovering from a stomach bug;) both have her at the 10th percentile.  head is 45.2cm

and here are some pictures of our little love bug, on possibly the worst day of her life (she had to get extra shots at the dr. office because mommy missed her 15 month checkup).  Can you tell how cranky she was?!  Love you sweet girl!!
