Cate started out the week feverish. It mostly only popped up in the afternoon. Her teachers at school suspected teething. She also had off and on diarrhea. She was playing well and wasn't overly fussy because of it though.
Cate has still been taking sporadic steps. One evening Mike was eating a bowl of ice cream and she got up and walked right to him to see what he was eating.
This week at school, the classes learned about bears and birds. As a result, more art projects!
Cate had her birthday party at school on Thursday instead of Friday. She had a doctors appointment scheduled Friday afternoon and then with the weather getting bad, the school closed, so it worked out. I took cupcakes for all to enjoy in her class. The teachers took pictures, but I haven't gotten any of them yet. I will share when we get the pics!
I had her doctors appointment moved up to Friday morning instead of Friday afternoon since she was still feverish. They would not do her wellness check-up and shots since she had a fever. Her fever was a low 99 degrees. She had no ear infection, lungs sounded good. She was tested for strep just in case and it came out negative. The doc said it is just viral and it'll just have to pass on its own.
Cate has now figured out how to steer her dino push toy. If she does run into something, she has figured out how to pull it back and turn it to keep moving. Sometimes she still hollers for "Da" to come move it for her, but we now know she knows how to do it herself!
We had a small 'party' for Cate at the house on Saturday afternoon. We made hot dogs, Mike made her cake, and some friends came over to help celebrate Cate's birthday. Cate even ate hot dogs with us!
After lunch, Cate opened presents! She got a stuffed tool belt, cooking utensils, pots and pans, a block sorter, and Shane and Kayla got her a singing glow worm! Last week she got stuffed fruits and veggies from Stephenie, Todd and Raelee. She also wore her dress Stephenie made for her!
After presents, we sang 'Happy Birthday' and watched Cate dig into her cake!
Cate has been more aware of books lately. She pulls her books off the shelf to flip through the pages. We sit with her and read more often now too, since she has given such an interest. Sometimes she'll sit with you longer than others to read one or more books.
UPDATE: Here are pics of Cate playing with gifts from grandparents in TN! :)
