6:45am: I wake up to the sound of Kate babbling in her crib. I go downstairs to get her a sippy cup of milk, and we start our morning. This is Kate’s second day without a morning bottle and she’s doing great! 7:00am: Kate and I go downstairs to play and once I get her

Kate: 12 Months
KATE TOOK HER FIRST STEPS! Oh yes, this was a Mama-couldn’t-believe-it, all-caps-situation. Just three days after her first birthday, Kate took her very first steps!
