10 Things about Kate

Tawny tagged me to post ten things about Kate:

1. Kate was born March 15th, 2006. She was a hefty 9 lbs. 3 oz. and a nice 21 in. long – not unlike Mommy who was 9 lbs. 13 oz. and 21 in. long.

2. She loves music and the song she requests everyday is “Daddy Song” otherwise entitled, “Daddy’s Homecoming”. After that she wants us to sing it repeatedly using names of other people she knows.

3. She is independent and not very cuddly. Every so often we get a great big love from her and we savor it for weeks.

4. She is happy 98% of the day.

5. She is allergic to peanuts – which basically ended all of Mommy and Daddy’s favorite comfort foods.

6. Her favorite things to play with are her Disney “people”, especially the princesses. We catch her trying to sing a song from Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, or Little Mermaid while holding the prince and princess close, dancing. She narrates her favorite movies for us with surprise and delight and at times even talks to the characters as someone might while watching sports. “Ah, Prince Hip (Philip) comes. Seeping Booty (Sleeping Beauty), wake up.” or “Nun, nun, dernella, Oh, No! (run, run, Cinderella)”

7. She loves reading books and tells the stories all by herself while pointing at and turning the pages. Her favorite books to tell are Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Harry and the Lady Next Door, all the David books (David Shannon), and anything by Dr. Suess.

8. She loves Sunday when she can “go to church” with a “pretty dress on” and lately she’s been talking about getting married in the temple in her white dress. Last week she pointed to the Bishopric on the stand saying, “Pre-sent Monson, Pre-sent Uu-dorf, Pre-sent Eye-ing,” and when she recognizes our neighbors and friends speaking in Sacrament Meeting she calls out their names.

9. First thing she wants to do every morning is turn lights on, wake mommy up, and “Datch Seeping Booty” (watch Sleeping Beauty).

10. She makes her mom and dad laugh and smile everyday-no matter what.
