Katie is getting more mobile. She can climb up onto the couch (when Mary has removed the cushions so it's not so tall) and she can climb down on her own (as long as she doesn't go head first). She's getting her first molar! It's on the bottom right. I put her in her high chair for breakfast and she tapped her hands together to sign "more". It's the first time she's done that!

Mary has said so many funny things this week. She almost fell while playing and she said, "Woah, that was a close one." We were crossing the parking lot (with no cars coming) and she said, "The cars are going to squish us!" We played the crow game before bed and Mary was rolling the dice when she said, "Blue's coming up!" I was getting her out of the car when she said, "Mommy is the queen, Mary and Katie are princesses, and Dad is Your Highness!" She found a lamp in the office and brought it to Dad to plug in. We had it in the guest room before I put all of Mary's toys in there, so she associates it with Grandma Wendy. She hands it to Dad and says, "Can you turn on your mom's light?"

I officially started my month of Keto yesterday. I will do it until September 25th, just in time for me to have cake with Katie on her first birthday!

Dad had a meeting with the CTO at Redwood and got some well deserved credit for his hard work. He's sad his coworker, Noah, has quit.

Wednesday we went to the park at 9 am to play pickleball. Jessica joined us at 9:30, ShaLay came at 10, and Naomi came at 10:30. We played two games then Katie was tired so we packed up. I wish we could have played more but it was okay because the kids got to play on the playground and there was a birthday party for one of the kids in the homeschool group and Mary kind of invited herself and got a cupcake. Thursday we had exercise class at the church, Lindsay taught REFIT. Friday I took the girls to the pool and Mary befriended a little girl named Iris. They played for 2 hours. Saturday I went to the park to play tennis with Naomi but she didn't show up so I just worked on my serve and hit against the wall. She messaged 40 minutes later so I just said maybe we can meet next week, we'll see if that happens. That afternoon I watched K-pop Demon Hunters on Netflix with Mary. It's been blowing up on Social Media and it is actually a really cute movie with catchy music, good animation, and a good story of overcoming your demons.

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...
