Krewe de Speyrer: A Few of Our Favorite Things

I feel guilty that I haven't posted in almost 3 weeks, mostly because there is so much going on in Kate's little life that I need to be capturing. But it's primarily because there's so much going on that makes it hard to grab the camera every time there's something new or cute or funny. Kate is a pro-crawler at this point and she's also a pro at pulling up. She's starting to cruise (walking while holding on to the couch or something) a little. So you can imagine that we are staying busy trying to keep our eye on her so that she doesn't fall too much...a few falls are inevitable at this point.

One of Kate's favorite things since she was born has been music. When she was tiny it seemed to soothe her. As she has gotten older we can tell she just enjoys the music and wants to dance...and I'm sure she'll sing at the top of her lungs too once she's able to. She has been starting to kind of move to the music for a while now but it gets funnier and funnier as she's getting more mobile and independent. She will shake her booty sitting or standing if she hears a good tune. Here are a couple of clips of her dancing to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the "Hot Dog Dance" and then the Sesame Street intro song.

By far Kate's favorite at home activity is playing with and pulling all of her books off of the bookshelf in her room. This is a go-to activity for Momma and Daddy if she's ever upset because it will instantly distract and entertain.

Kate's blanket at this point has become something that we absolutely cannot live without. If she sees it, she has to have it and instantly buries her head in it. It is a necessity at nap time and bedtime. Of course she has several blankets that are all wonderful but this one is THE blanket. It's so soft and cuddly and Kate LOVES it.

Bath time continues to be a favorite time of the day for all, Momma and Daddy included. This bath time in particular was especially fun since Kate's friend Adi Levy was over and the girls got to take a bath together.

And I can't leave out a couple of Momma and Daddy's favorites right now. I just love Kate's little snaggletooth grin as her teeth are starting to grow in. We are up to 3 (and I think it will be 4 any day now) and you can see the first bottom one really well now and I think it is so cute.
