Summer has been full of travel and many milestones! Kate is now 7 months old and VERY busy. We hope to see you all soon! Here is a list some of her top summer happenings:
1.Kate is learning to crawl and pull up on things…reverse was the only gear until today as she learned forward drive. :-)2.We have a MAJOR talker on our hands. Uncle Hill could not believe how high pitched and loud Kate could talk. Her current favorite phrases are "AGUY GUY GUY "and "AKINE KINE KINE."
3.Kate loves to celebrate big events. She celebrated Grandpa Dave’s 60th birthday and her second Cousin Aldridge and Sean’s wedding. She danced the night away at her first wedding and had a blast meeting her Harris family.
4.Kate loved taking her first swim class at the YMCA.
5.Teething is not fun…3 teeth surfaced in 10 days.
6.Kate still has a crush on her music teacher Mr. Mark…she loves music class and bounces and flaps her arms for all of the songs. Her Great Uncle Tom (aka TaTa) visited her in Denver and attended class. :-)
7.The jury is out on solid foods…Kate is still deciding whether or not she wants to eat…her cheeks tell the real story. 
8.The stomach flu is not a fun time…we had our first illness which landed us at Children’s hospital with dehydration after 4 days of vomiting. The IV was a challenge, but she was a real 
trooper and recovered quickly.
9. 4th of July was fun, but, fireworks will have to wait for another year…bedtime still comes too early.
10. Kate ventured into the ocean for her first swim with Dad at Gulf Shores.
It’s been a fun summer filled with a lot of travel (Kate has almost qualified for a free frequent-flyer ticket with 9 round trip flights since birth) We’ll check in again soon!
Love,
Seth, Jen, and Kate
