Long Time no blog

Well Im sorry for my lack of posts since... last December *ouch*. My oh my how Kate has changed in (nearly) a year. She walks, talks, runs, climbs, asks questions, uses full sentences, gets mad when I turn off her show on her, and gives me kisses when I got work in the morning.

One thing that we've done this year was move her from the the bassinet to a bed just before her 2nd birthday. Having the mattress on the box-spring and a bed stands had her like 4+ feet off the ground, so we opted to put the mattress on the floor. Kristal wasn't too sure about the whole thing and thought Kate wouldn't take to the bed... but Kate absolutely LOVED having her own bed (and still does). It is WAY easier on us as well... no more back breaking getting her in/out of the bassinet at night (yay!).

More recently, we've put Kate in baby gymnastics at the University of Saskatchewan. Its basically little kid round around and jump on the big mats time... with some very basic introduction to gymnastics the sport (how to land jumps, positions: pike, straddle, and tuck, assisted walks on the balance beam, etc). But she loves it. Especially since he friend Elyse goes as well.

Yes that's right, Kate has her first friend. And man, I must be getting old fast... cause when those two are together, they run, scream, and just get into trouble... *dreading the teenaged years if they are still friends*. They met at a baby cooking class, and then we happened to be signed up for the same first time swimming lessons. Then we took the second together as well. Now we have regular play dates, they both attend the same daycare, and the weekly gymnastics class.

Ill post some updated picts soon!
