McBaby and More: The wild cat is almost 10 months old

Can you believe Katelyn will be 10 months old in a few days?! How and when did that happen?!

If there is such thing as a run-crawl, Katelyn does it. She is sooooo fast and thinks she is hot stuff when she chases after toys or the pets.

Speaking of pets, she loves to crawl after them and nuzzle into their soft fur...they don't much care for it but it's entertaining (for us) to watch :) If Tucker even sees her moving in his direction he jumps up and runs far far way from her while Tallie just lets her do her thing.

Katelyn is the most active baby I have ever seen. Her teacher gave her the name "wild cat" because she never sits still...she's always moving around and getting into something! Hopefully that means she got her daddy's genes and will be a fit little thing!

Bath time is very active these days too. She has discovered the water faucet and can't get enough of it. She likes to pull herself up on it and play with the water coming out...and anything else she can get her little hands on.

Diaper duty is a chore that almost takes two people! She reaches and grabs for everything, including the blinds. So much for the days of distracting her with a noisemaker...now diaper duty is a ring match :)

Because she wears herself out during the day, we had to move her bedtime from 8:00 to 7:30...and somedays she's even in bed by 7:00! She still does pretty well during the nights and only wakes occasionally (some nights) when she just wants her passy.

It finally happened...Katelyn brought home her first sickness that we all got. This past weekend Tim and I were out for the count. We were so pitiful sick that we had to call in the reinforcements! Katelyn pretty much spent the entire weekend at both of her Grandma's houses while Tim and I tried to recover from looking and feeling like death...Thank goodness for wonderful Grandmas who only live a few minutes from us! Thanks Moms!!

She's starting to stand here and there on her own for short periods of time. She kind of does this surfer move where she balances herself out...it's very cute and of course she is so proud of herself!!

Katelyn has two bottom teeth and probaby another one on its way. She's already put her little beaver teeth on her crib AND her Grammie's entertainment stand! She is eating table food occasionally with her new teeth and loves it! It's messy but so much fun to watch her feed herself and try new flavors.

Overall, Katelyn is doing great, progressing nicely and keeping us busy and on the move! Here are a few shots of the kiddo over the past few weeks.
