Happy October

I've been very bad at updating. I apologize. Katy's been growing in leaps and bounds and it's hard to keep up with her!

She started walking a little bit before her first birthday. She's walking all over the kitchen and living room and getting into all sorts of trouble. She loves to carry her toys around and pull things out of the cupboards. Grandma Patty and Grandpa Bob gave her a pushcar for her birthday. She absolutely loves it and loves to take it outside and walk up and down our driveway.

Katy is also crazy about Daddy's keyboard. She'll walk over to it and try to play it when it's off. Daddy and mommy try to turn it on whenever we can. Sometimes we sit with Katy in our lap and play the piano with her. Usually she tries to climb on top of it.

A few weeks ago, we went to the fair the next county over. Katy got to see all sorts of animals: cows and goats and chickens.

Katy loves books. Or, more specifically, she loves pulling books off of shelves, carrying them around and flipping through the pages. She still doesn't sit still for the entire story, but she's working on it.

Katy's first birthday was in September. She had a blast! We had a small party that weekend, with friends and family over for cake and burgers. Katy had a lot of fun.

We also took a lot of video these last few months. I've compiled them together for a nice little fall compilation. Enjoy!

Love from Rome,
John, Liz and Katy
