Kate has reached the "big .75", as my friend Lisa would say. As Kate sits here on my lap, chewing on a toy, and drooling all over me, it's all I can do not to smother her with kisses. She is getting so big and it makes me thankful and sad at the same time. Her top two front teeth have come in (those were some fun nights) and she weighs 16 lbs 5 oz and is 27 inches long. She is sitting up really well, doing the army crawl with her arms, and has recently learned to clap and is very proud of that skill. She doesn't yet know how to crawl forward, but she can roll and twist around enough with her arms to get where she wants to go. You can bet that if there is a laptop, remote control, or cell phone on the floor, she's going to get it. Her favorite foods are bananas and squash. Everyday she becomes more overjoyed at seeing our dogs, Precious and Max, and last week she finally said mama, after weeks of conversations that went something like this:
Mom to Kate: "Say Mama"
Kate: "Dada"
Mom: "Say Mama"
Kate: "Dada"
Jeff was so proud.
The whole family is really excited because basketball season is finally here-as we sing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" we look forward to seeing our first glimpses of Duke and UNC this week on TV. Oh yeah-the holiday season is here too! Uncle David and Gina the Great are coming next week, Thanksgiving is upon us, and cookie baking day is just around the corner-so stay tuned for more fun updates. Maybe Kate will soon learn how to actually crawl through her tunnel instead of just backing up into it!

Hi Ria and Kate!
Dad and I can't hardly wait until we can go to the Xmas parade together next year! We were already making plans when we left your house yesterday. The pictures are great, Kate, you are so beautiful and have that angelic quality that your mom had when she was your age. We are looking to having all of you at home with us this week. We are so thankful to God for blessing us with all three of you! See you soon, Mom
