Just a quick update on Cate.
Cate is as busy as ever. She has figured out how to unlock the front door and has ran out of the house a couple of times. Thankfully, I realized before she got further than the front yard, but it really gave me some panicky moments! We now have to remember to lock this top lock on the door that is out of her reach. So scary!
Cate LOVES to sing and she sings pretty well. At least this Momma thinks so. 🙂 Her favorite songs right now are “The ABCs”, “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”, “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse”, “Itsy, Bitsy Spider”, and “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed”. She enjoys doing the hand motions to “Itsy, Bitsy Spider” and “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” as well.
Even though her crib is turned around the face the wall so that the sides are taller, she can still get her little leg up and crawl out.
She loves to sneak upstairs and turn the water on in the bathtub and get in, fully clothed. She often tries to clean the toilet with the toilet brushes, resulting in toilet water all over the toilet seat and floor. She likes to help sweep the floor with the broom or vacuum. She is often digging around in the kitchen and desk drawers and pulling things out.
Cate enjoys playing with Legos, My Little Ponies, Little People animals, or whatever her sisters are playing with. She likes to “draw” on the whiteboard and on paper.
Her favorite tv shows are Micky Mouse Clubhouse, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood (which incidentally has a character named Katarina), Sofia the First, and My Little Pony. But especially Mickey Mouse. She also likes to play games on the iPhone and iPad.
Cate’s vocabulary is amazing. She is always repeating words we say, which is probably how she is picking up language and phrases so quickly. She is already using some pronouns correctly, like when she tells me, “I don’ wannit.” This girl knows her mind!
Cate is one busy girl. She is also one of the sweetest, good-natured little girls I know. Always quick to giggle or smile. Often running to me and wrapping my legs with her little arms to give me a hug. When I pick her up, she often will lay her head on my shoulder to give me a hug and snuggles. I just adore this little girl.
