11 Months - Week 3

Cate has been working on walking. Slowly. She took three steps consecutively at school on Wednesday. She took one step for us at home on Friday. She took four consecutive steps for Mike yesterday. She was very excited that she took so many steps.  And then she took two steps today. She still would prefer walking with her dino than walk on her own. 

We are still trying to give Cate solid food. Sometimes she wants it and sometimes she doesn't. We have also been trying her sippy cup more and more. Same thing, sometimes she will drink from it and sometimes she wont.

After several nights having a hard time going to sleep and not napping well, Cate has gone back to napping well and even laughed/giggled herself to sleep three nights in a row. It was beyond funny and I have n o idea why she did it! The first night, I was trying to her calm her down before bed, fed her and then laid her down. She got up and down several times then finally stayed down. She attempted to turn over again so I held her leg down. She started laughing like I was tickling her. I started laughing because she was laughing. Mike came and in and asked what we were doing. Cate was laying there with her eyes shut giggling. We walked out of the room and she continued to laugh and then eventually went to sleep. She did the same thing the next two nights.

Cate has been dancing more often. She hits her dino to get him to play music so she can dance. She will also dance when we play music around the house.

Sorry for the lack of pictures this week. I haven't been able to catch her taking steps yet and with the short week we were pretty busy. I did just snap this one of her deciding which blanket she likes best.
