Moving onwards & upwards...




Now that Katy is 1, she has apparently decided it's time to get moving. Only 2 wks ago, she finally started to push herself up to sitting from laying on her tummy. That skill is now mastered, so her attention has turned to standing. Here & there Katy was starting to get to her feet if she had a low object to help pull herself up on, but this morning she really got it! I put her in her playpen (which we haven't used before now for playing in), and before I knew it, Katy had grabbed a hold of the top rail and pulled herself up to standing! As you can see, she was quite pleased with herself. She must have went on to repeat the maneuver over 10 times... stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down... Just a little while later, I put her down for a morning nap. When I heard playing rather than a sleeping girl, I peeked in... just in time to see Katy getting up to her feet in her crib! We already just lowered the crib mid-way since she started sitting & kneeling, but when Daddy gets home tonight, it'll now have to be lowered all the way before Katy gets it in her head that she can climb right out!

In additional news, Saturday we noticed that Katy's top left tooth is on it's way in. She has been stuck with just the two bottom teeth for 3 mnths now, so I guess it's about time! (See mom... I told you they'd come sooner or later!) Not that she even needs the teeth when it comes to eating! Katy does not let the lack of teeth hinder her... in fact, on Saturday morning, Katy has the exact same breakfast as her Mommy & Daddy! Two multi-grain pancakes with peanut butter and a touch of syrup, plus lots of blueberries, which was the same amount we each had, but we didn't get any blueberries. Our girl can eat!!

Tomorrow we are off to Moose Jaw, SK for a week with my family. We will celebrate Katy's birthday while we are there, along with her cousin Jackson's (who turns 4 on Sept 9th). And even though the birthdays for the little ones by far get all the attention these days, we may even squeeze in a birthday dinner for me, as I turn 31 on Sept 3rd, the day before we head back home to San Jose. I've been waiting on retrieving pictures from my sister Lauren to post some great ones of Katy & Jackson together while they were here visiting in early August, so hopefully that will finally happen once we get there. Looking forward to seeing the Perryman clan & friends this week!
