Dearest Lena Kate,
You are growing up before our eyes and I can't seem to do anything to stop it. You are all over the place these days. You pull up on ANYTHING you possibly can and you love walking behind your lion push toy. Before we know it you will be walking. Last night we started working on you getting to sleep on your own and you weren't as mad about it as I thought you would be. You did cry some, but when I went to check on you you were just standing in your crib leaning on the side. I think you may have been sleeping standing up! I think it breaks my heart more to see you waiting there so patiently for me. You did fall asleep when I laid you down...what a sweet girl you are.
My all time favorite thing you do is pat me on the arm when I hold you. You just pat so sweetly with your little hand. I also love how I can stare into your eyes and break into a big smile and you almost always do the same. I can just see the love and it is so rewarding to be your mother.
You LOVE to go for the dog bowl and you've been so fast a few times I've had to get a piece of dog food out of your mouth...how can you not like some baby food but thing Missy's lean dog food is tasty!..ew. Don't worry though I watch you closely so you don't get too far ahead of me. We are working hard to get the house child-proofed, although you still seem to be coming up with bumps on that pretty forehead of yours. You also love to destroy the tupperware cabinet and pull towels out of the drawers. Don't worry I'll let you play in that one still.
Chatter, chatter, chatter...this you love to do. Mostly it sounds like dadadadada....with some other new sounds each day. Yes, your Daddy is proud.
You have started to eat some big kid food and seem to really like being able to pick little bites up yourself all by yourself. Last night you had 3 green beans and peaches cut up into chewable little bites to go with your favorite apple sauce. Mimi made you a mini pancake when we were at the ranch this past weekend and you enjoyed eating it too! Speaking of chewing you now have 2 bottom teeth and left marks in Mama's finger yesterday when she was making sure you didn't have anything in your mouth (you were making a funny face).
Each day I think I can't love you more and then I wake up and realize it is possible. Your personality is shining through. You are my precious angel baby and I can't believe how time flies. I thank the Lord for you daily. As Papa said this weekend, "You are the apple of my eye." I think you must be the apple of many people's eye :)
Here you are in action. Mommy dropped her camera in the pool this weekend so the pics aren't so good-good thing we got the protection plan.
Trying to get every last one out.

Aww, this was so sweet. :) She and Quade sound like two peas in a pod. Girl, I'm plumb wore out these days. All I do is chase my monkey around trying to keep him from bashing his head into everything. What all are you doing to child proof? He's figured out the plug in's and so I've got to get some covers for the ones that are showing. He too pulls up on everything, and is starting to cruise the furniture. Today I found him standing in his car seat, holding onto the handle like he was skiing. I'm beat I tell you, beat!
You sure have a pretty girl, there. I have a feeling Miss LK will have to shoo the boys away!
Great pictures, she's such a big girl! She reminds me of Logan, very agile...all over everything!!! He climbed out of his crib at 9 months...and was walking by the end of his 9th month.
Presley, more of a girly girl...she prefers to be held! :)
