Katelyn is 14 months!

Katelyn is 14 months old (as of Sunday)! I can't believe how big she's getting and everyday she figures out how to do something new. About a week and a half ago she decided that she was ready to walk. She had been cruising all over the place, barely holding on to the furniture and then last Saturday she just decided to launch. She's SO cute toddling all over the house. Every one said, "Oh just wait until she starts walking, she'll be into everything." And yes, you have to keep a closer eye on her, but she can do more for herself, is not as frustrated and sleeps longer because she burns so much energy. I actually love that she's walking!Do you just love her crossed leg. She's so sassy.
This girl loves her afternoon snack. Don't even think about skipping it!!!Katelyn's pink blanket has become an essential part of sleep times. She was never interested in a pacifier, but sucks on the corners of this blanket just the same. Getting it away from her long enough to wash it is a challenge. Yuck.
Grandpa came this weekend for a little visit...sorry Grammy, we really missed you...and Katelyn put "pa pa" right to work reading the whole stack of books over and over. And of course grandpa would never say no to that.
In the past couple of days Katelyn figured out how to crawl, how to get herself into sitting position and how to pull herself up to standing position using the furniture. Like I said she's kind of figured out everything backwards (walk first and then sit up, go figure), but she's getting it all together now.

I just found your blog and I'm dying over how much Katelyn reminds me of FJ! Even some of the faces she makes...it's crazy. You guys seem like a really fun family and Katelyn seems so happy and well-adjusted. That's totally because of you guys. Love it. :)

She's so darn cute. Does she ever wear anything twice? My sister will keep her on the best dressed list forever. I love all the pictures. She has grown so much since you started this blog. I can't wait to meet her someday. Miss you...

She's precious -- when can we get together for a playdate?
