SEVENTEEN MONTHS

Little miss Kitty is 17 months tomorrow. She is SUCH a doll! She has found her sassiness and isn't afraid to let it show. She has figured out that a high-pitched scream gets everyone's attention really quick so often times she just lets it rip for fun. She knows a little sign language but as of late has decided she likes to scream for whatever she needs instead.;)

She wanders all over the house, getting into the Tupperware drawer, the bathroom sink, Charlie's water dish and mom's make up several times a day.

She just started crawling up on things... The kids aren't too thrilled that she can now make her way up onto the computer bench to sit/bother the heck out of them while they're playing!

She loves her Charlie and Lola pig and even started singing the "Lola" song this week. She gasps at things that make her happy- which is pretty much everything-and it is the cutest thing ever! It makes my day if I walk into a room and she gasps with excitement like, "Oh, there you are! What a surprise!"

Just today I was doing laundry and she was trying on clothes.... But ONLY the underwear and bras! At one point she had Chris' undies around her waist and was toddling around the house. Later she had two of Olivia's bras on and was getting mad that they were all tangled around her. I have no idea how she finds the undergarments like she does but almost daily she is wearing someones's unmentionables!

This week Olivia got out one of her old baby dolls and Kate has been playing with it almost nonstop. The baby is almost as big as her and she gets SO huffy when that baby won't sit in the stroller the right way. It is absolutely hilarious to watch her play and fuss over that little doll. Yesterday I tried to move the stroller out of the way and she got upset me with for touching her baby! Goofy girl.

For as sassy as she is, she is just as sweet. She is very cuddly and sweet and gives away kisses to just about everyone. Everyone except Nick, that is. It's a rare day when she will give him a kiss!

LOVES: bananas, books and climbing stairs.

HATES: getting her diaper changed, getting out of the tub, and going down for naps.

WORDS: dada, momma, Lola, "numa numa" (drink or sippy). She talks all the time, we just don't know what she's saying!!
