Almost 9 months

Anna Kate will be 9 months Oct. 2nd.  She started crawling on Sept. 11th, and before long she was everywhere. She loves trying to pull up on anything she can reach, climb stairs, open or play with dresser drawers and pull things out of everything she can get her little hands on.  It's like she found a new world the way she explores the house.  She still isn't fast with the crawling yet, but I know that is a good thing.  It's as if she thinks she needs to be all girly and dainty when she crawls.  She is just so cute.  She will crawl a little, stop turn around and look to see who is watching and then go again. 

The newest thing is our dog Sadie (who is a Shih Tzu) is now tolerating Anna Kate a little more.  She used to just run and hide from her.  But now that Anna Kate is on the move, Sadie really can't go far before Anna Kate finds her.  So hopefully this is the start to a great friendship.  Sadie still may not love Anna Kate, but I think she is liking her more.  Just a few snapshots...
