Kate has been making some major strides! She has started talking much more, especially in the morning when she and Erin have their "dance party." Kate prefers songs by the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync, but any boy band will do. Towards the end of spring break, Erin and I decided to push the envelope and take Kate out in the evening and it went very well! We have done a handful of lunch dates, but Kate loved eating dinner out and behaved perfectly. Finally, and maybe most exciting, Kate has started to sleep for longer stretches at night (surely she will be up all night after typing this)! She has been down for a handful of 4-6 hour stretches over the last few nights. Now naps on the other hand...
Still sporting "the lip".
As you can see, Kate is beginning to give her mom and dad the smile that is so well deserved!
Here is Kate playing and telling us all about her plans for the future.
