Katie: Katie is on the move! She gets on her hands and knees then kind of swings herself back onto her bum then back to her hands and knees. She has also started pulling herself up on furniture when she can. We turned some 70's rock on when we made our fun breakfast on Saturday and she got on her hands and knees and was dancing by shaking her bum, her head, and doing a little baby head bang.
Mary: Mary had fun playing with friends this week. She liked dancing on Saturday. She played with the other girls, they ran up and down the hall laughing and racing each other. She's not sure what the difference is between a towel and a blanket and often uses them interchangeably. I was trying to get her to eat something and she said, "It's yucky! It makes me want to run away!"
Mom: I exercised 5 days this week, and got 10k steps in those 5 days as well. I finished reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik and loved it so much. I've started going through the book again and writing it out as a screenplay. I hope I stay motivated and find a way to submit it to Warner Brothers. They own the movie rights to it but haven't made the movie yet, since acquiring the rights in 2015.
Dad: Dad has been discouraged by work. He has been excited about a new app Lose it! where he tracks his calories and macros. He is having fun writing fiction.
This week's activities: Monday we went to Autumn Winds park with Lindsay, April, and Elizabeth. Mary made a potion with April's daughter, Anna. She also played in the dirt with Jack Durocher. Wednesday we went to the Durocher's house and tried out their new pool with them. Mary was apprehensive but she had a good time. The kids loved giving Katie toys in the water. Thursday we met Peter and Mykael in Reno at Idlewild park. Roman and Mary played together by the end of our meet up then we went on a little walk before they continued on their road trip to Yosemite. Friday Katie had her 9 month appointment, no shots this time! We went to Scheels after where we looked at the fish, played with Legos, and played by the kids slide. We went home and Paul came home early from work. I had fun going through the box that Peter brought out of my old year books. Saturday Mary and I went to Fernley Estates. They have a woman there on hospice that always wanted to go to the ballet but never had, so Fernley Performing Arts asked the girls to perform for her. Mary did a great job! Later that afternoon I went to Penelope Galloway's house for Arielle Tomlinson's baby shower.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
