Early in the week Cate was becoming overly fussy again and chewing alot. She also got a diaper rash. Turns out she is cutting two more top teeth! I really couldn't believe it. I don't know why I thought we'd get a little break between teeth. Both teeth have broken through some but are not all the way through yet.
We have continued to introduce solids to Cate. It's still hit or miss right now. I got her some yogurt bites that she really likes. She's also been eating Cheerios and I've been randomly giving her things off my plate which has gone okay. She ate a piece of my pop tart this morning, probably not the best of foods, but she liked it and ate a few pieces. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and having her eat with us!
We have also gotten Cate some yogurt packs (baby yogurt). She really likes these. Many times when I think she's done with dinner I will try to give her some yogurt too and she eats the whole container! She really loves it!
Our neighbors informed us that they were getting rid of some toys of their girls and gave us an opportunity to go through them before sending them off to Goodwill. I had been thinking recently that Cate's toys were too 'baby' for her. We picked out several things including a Leap Frog frog that sings and teaches colors and shapes, a story book teller, some Little People and some blocks and a few other things. We haven't introduced her to all of the toys yet, just the frog, but she seems to like it.

For the first week of November at school, the teachers sent home a leaf to be decorated that shows what the baby is thankful for. Obviously Cate doesn't know what this means so I put on there her favorite things like family, school, toys and her favorite foods. I think it turned out alright.
Cate is getting more courageous in the bath. She has been trying to eat the water and has now even started dunking her head in the running water. It's really funny and she thinks it's really funny.

It occurred to me with all Cate's teeth that we need to be cleaning them. I realize this is probably a little late, but better late than never! I got her a little toothbrush and baby safe toothpaste. She didn't know what to think at first but seemed to like it okay, I think because of the flavored toothpaste! No pics of this yet, but soon.
This morning Cate slept in til 7am. I actually went in to wake her up at 7am, so she might have slept longer, but I didn't want her to get off her routine too much. When I woke her up, I let her stay in her crib for a little bit. She immediately popped up and stood up. She moved over to the changing table and reached over the rail to grab her pacifier. It was too funny. She's very smart! Later in the morning, we had her cartoons on and she crawled over to the tv and pulled herself up on the tv bench. She'd never done that before.
