4 Peas in a Pod: Father's Day and Katie 8-month-old

Katie turned 8-months-old on monday. It is amazing how quick our baby girl learns and what all she can do now. She is growing up way too quickly for me! Here's an update on everything that she's up to. Be prepared for tons of pictures! They were all taken on her 8 month bday.
*She's slept through the night since Christmas but now she goes to bed about 7:00 and wakes up about 6:30 when her Daddy comes home from work.
*She has eaten and loved all the food we have given her: avocado, peas, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, peaches, nectarines, prunes, apples, zucchini, butternut squash, butter peas, blueberries, mashed potatoes, bananas, watermelon, graham crackers, cheerios and occassionally some of Daddy's sweet tea. If we're eating she wants to eat too!
*She can go from on her belly to sitting up.
*She crawls.
*She pulls herself up onto her knees.
*She says Mama when she's upset or tired and Dada when she's playing. She also says gaga, lala, ada, baba, makes the t sound and likes to blow raspberries.
*She loves reading and we go every week to storytime at the library.
*She thinks our dog Zak is hilarious and tries to get his attention any way she can. He will lick her all over her toes and face and she thinks it's great.
*She has two bottom teeth.
*Her favorite thing to play with is her binky strap that attaches her binky to her shirt. She also likes my purse strap.
*She's getting more hair and it's coming in blonde. It's so light it's hard to see by looking at the pictures.

Such a beautiful girl!

Rich had his first father's day and it worked out really well. My Dad and his wife came over for jalapeno popper burgers and they got to play with Katie (which who wouldn't love to do that?). We had a nice relaxing day. The next day I made Rich his favorite meal paprika chicken, creamed corn with bacon and mashed potatoes.
