Kate: 17 Months The language explosion is in full effect as Kate continues to talk up a storm! I’ve been writing her words down on a Post-It when we hear them, and that sucker is covered from front to back. I can hardly keep up with her! Here are the ones I managed to capture
One of Kate’s favorite snacks are these apple plum bars. I started making them for her when she was just beginning solid foods.

G and I had our 6th annual Fourth of July party over the weekend, and it was our best one yet! We had perfect weather and 50 people in attendance for lots of fun, food, and fireworks!
