We can’t believe it’s July already!
Since our last post, we have turned ten months, and are now eleven months today! We can’t wait for our first birthday!
We continue to grow and learn so many new things! Katharine weighs sixteen pounds, and Christopher weighs twenty.
And we are on the move! Christopher is scooting, rolling, and inching his way to get to things. He is learning to bring his knees up, but is not yet ready to crawl. And Katharine has started crawling. Her curiosity is getting her into lots of new situations, and she is beginning to learn to get herself out of them as well. And during our recent vacation out West, she began pulling herself up on all kinds of things, including our fingers, and can now take a few steps while holding on. With a spotter, she can even do a pretty good job of climbing the stairs, so Mommy and Daddy Keep a close eye on her!
We have had a lot of exciting firsts this last month or so! We took our first trip on an airplane, on our way to visit Aunt Linda and Uncle Matt in California. We mostly slept on the plane, but it was a pretty exciting new experience to go to the airport and change time zones! We had lots of fun playing with our cousins Clara and Joseph while we were there. They showed us their pool, and we got a chance to try swimming for the first time. We were a little nervous, but Mommy and Daddy held us tight and we realized how much fun it was! We also got to try our first hike in backpacks with our cousins while we were there.
Then we went to Yosemite National Park for several days, where we saw lots of waterfalls, rock faces, and the giant sequoia trees. There were also lots of new people to see, and we got lots of practice riding in our backpacks everywhere. Mommy and Daddy even took us on an exciting hike down from Glacier Point and back up!
We both brought in several new teeth on our trip. For Christopher, they were his first teeth, and cumulatively, he’s gotten six new teeth in the last 2-3 weeks. And Katharine added four new teeth, so that both of us now have four teeth on the top and two on the bottom.
We are still learning to enjoy lots of foods! Yogurt is a favorite, and we also like fruits, vegetables, and meats. We are starting to enjoy chunkier foods and little pieces of whatever Mommy and Daddy are having. We love lentils, shredded chicken, minced peaches and sweet potatoes, and peanut butter crackers. And we continue to love to talk. Ba-ba-ba, Da-da-da and ma-ma-ma are some of our new favorites, and we still love Ah-Boof and some of our old favorites.
We are looking forward to seeing our Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles, and cousins when we visit Ohio later this month! Until then, here are some of our favorite photos of all the fun things we did last month! Enjoy!

Katharine and Christopher
