Mary Cate, 11 months

I can't believe how much she has changed in the last month! She's as impishly sweet as ever, but she's up to all kinds of new tricks. Mary Cate was VERY GROUCHY most of our vacation week at Pam's, and when we got home she was waking up every half hour or so. Within a couple of days she had a new tooth and was crawling. Two seconds later she wanted to stand up, she she has a funny little one-foot crawl much like Annie did.

She's getting into everything (dog food and dog water are her current favorites), putting her fingers in all the sockets, shutting herself in rooms by crawling in, shutting the door, and sitting in front of it, trying to eat every little thing on the floor...basically making sure we pay attention to her every waking moment! She also chatters constantly, says "hi" to everyone in ear shot, and cries loud...making herself heard. And we love it! This is a great phase and Mary Cate has a lot of love to give all the people in her life.
