Developmental Expolsion!

Friday, May 25, 2007
I have been a very negligent blogger this week. I apologize. But let me explain. Kate has had a developmental explosion this week. She has learned to crawl, to clap, to drink from a sippy cup, to say "uh-oh, up, and baby." Kate has mastered the art of frolicking in the pool and getting herself into a sitting position in the crib (to play instead of sleep at nap time). She is also very close to standing on her own and she has pulled to a stand once! Kate will turn one next weekend and it is amazing to me the skills she is developing each day. I remember when Will had these bursts of development, he would not sleep because he was so excited by his new tricks. And Will was the one who napped for four hours every afternoon! Unfortunately, Miss Kate Emerson is doing the same thing (not sleeping at naptime).

Here I go Mama!

This crawling is hard work. Is there a reward at the end?

All of that crawling made me thirsty!

Hmmm.... what is this? I've never used one of these before.


Down the hatch.

Mom, would you like some?



Kate also got a very fancy plastic pool and learned the art of lounging and water frolicking.


After all that developing..Kate is too tired to eat her dinner. Although, she did wake up to chew the bites we kept putting in her mouth. "Will wake for food."


Out like a light...until we put her in the crib.

I am working on a very special post about Harry, so check back soon. Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone!

  5. Kim,
    As usual, beautiful pictures of Kate! I am so happy to hear that she is developing so well. Time sure is flying isn't it? The picture in the pool is too cute. We just put up the girls' pool and they had a blast in it the other day. Can't wait to see Harry's post. Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

  17. It is amazing when children enter their forever families how their development "explodes". As a social worker in domestic foster care adoptions, I see it all the time. It is just amazing what their little bodies can do once all of their needs, especially emotional, are being met consistently. Kate is just a doll and so blessed to be in your family.
