Swimming, Crawling, Talking & Smiling....

...well almost. Kate is hanging out in her baby pool, doing a sort of scoot/army crawl, jabbering and spitting like crazy and smiling...but of course she's been doing that for a while...she showed her gummiest (still no pearly whites) smiles for her 6 month portraits. We got her a baby pool a couple of weeks ago and due to schedules and weather she hasn't spent a whole lot of time splashing around in her pool yet but she did get to take a quick dip about a week ago. Here are some pics from her first swim...

Thursday May 13th, which coincidentally was Nick and I's 4th wedding anniversary, Kate decided that she would figure out how to go places. She's not completely crawling, as she hasn't figured out how much better off she'd be if she'd get up on all fours, but she's definitely able to get where she wants to go.

Kate's recent conversations have consisted more of spitting than anything else. Here's a couple of different takes of her jabbering. I love how when I ask her to say "Mama" or "Dada" she thinks about trying it out for about 1 second and then goes to the good ole standby...spitting as much as she can.

Yesterday we took Kate to have some 6 month portraits taken by our good friend Nicole Colvin. Kate was pretty cooperative for the most part and Nicole was fabulous!! She's already given us a sneak peak at a few of the pictures she snapped yesterday on her blog. Go to http://nicolvin.blogspot.com/2010/05/kates-portraits.html
