I have been in-between cameras so I haven't posted in a while. I'm up and running again!

Kate has had an eventful 10th month. She took her first plane ride (to Jackson Hole, Wyoming), got two more top teeth and one more bottom (to make 7 total), had her first vomiting and diarrhea episode (awwww..), and most excitingly, became a big cousin!!! Her baby boy cousin John was born on Saturday, Feb 28th weighing in at a whopping 10lbs, 1 ounce and measuring 23 inches!


Here are some pics of our trip to Jackson Hole. She was really good on the plane and slept 95% of the time. She even got her wings from the crew!


Leaving Boston, Butch the monkey in tow





We are not in Boston anymore...note Kate's wings on her carseat!





Mountain gazing

Kate ate most of the time...

We carried her in the Bjorn most of the time- too snowy for the stroller!

Our hotel

Steve found this really good local ESB. It was so good we smuggled some home in Kate's suitcase...

From our hotel rooftop

Chasing Kate to get a pic of her in her new bathing suit

Kate was a bit leery of the water but was OK



Home!

Crawling up stairs and cruising furniture

Family Vacation to Mt. Sunapee, NH

Steve, Kate and I went to NH with my parents and Josh and Missy. Kate had her first sled ride and we discovered she can climb stairs!

Kate with Grandpa King

Kate loved the rocking chair!

Reading with Grandma King

A real page turner, apparently.

Here are the clips of Kate climbing stairs. She was a natural!

Kate loves eating with her hands these days.

Here she is with some of her favs: mushrooms, green beans, tofu, and carrots (although she really doesn't dislike much; she's turning out to be a real 'foodie'!)

Kate has a bit of a 'Colbert ear'!

mmm Spinach

Baby, it's cold outside! It got down to 10 degrees F (-12 C) in Boston today, but Kate was prepared.

Kate learned to clap yesterday (1/13). I am really excited about this for some reason! Will post pics soon-my camera is in a funk.

Kate got her second top front tooth on Saturday (1/10) when mom was at work. This makes two teeth making their first appearance when mom was away! Of course. Kate now has 4 chompers!

Inauguration Day

Kate got out the old Obama Baby onesie to celebrate the day!

She started out enthusiastic


and hopeful


and she cheered

and posed for pictures

but succumbed to naptime in the middle of Joe Biden's oath...

She hid during the quartet

and slept like a baby when it was all over .

Go Obama.

Recovered Christmas Pics

I accidentally deleted all of the pics from my camera that I took of Kate Christmas morning (d'oh!) but I was able to recover them this AM with some software I found online. Amazing. I suggest using it if you do the same thing! It is so easy and free...

So here are Xmas morning pics about a month late!

We filled Kate's stocking with all of her favorite toys and then let her tear into it in bed with us Xmas morning.

A gift from Mom

Thanks, Mom, a book....

Let's see if Daddy's gift is more fun...

Yup! Musical instruments from Daddy

But my favorite? Ribbons and paper, of course!

This doesn't happen every morning....
