Kate's 1st Cubs Game

We have had tons going on at the Davies household lately, and I am way behind on blogging. I'm sure in the next few weeks I'll catch up with the big and small news. On the bigger news, we took Kate to her first Cubs game on Thursday. Members of our church and fellow Cubs fans, the Stathakis family, invited us to Comerica Park. Now granted Kate's first Cubs game was not at Wrigley, but it was certainly something special. Our seats were in the first row directly behind the Cubs dugout. It was an awesome view of the game with an added bonus of being able to see the players coming and going between innings. The biggest bonus about being behind the Cubs dugout, cheering for the away team, and having an adorable 1 year old decked out in Cubs gear, was we got some neat souvenirs. First Derek Lee tossed Kate a game ball between innings. Very cool and exciting. Neither Brian nor I after going to many, many games in many, many stadiums have ever gotten a ball. Then Kate seemed to make a special bond with the Cub's Japanese center fielder, Fukudome, between innings. (We actually caught a half smile he gave Kate on video below.) After the game Fukudome pointed at Kate and tossed her his batting gloves. We were floored. I mean how could you not love our adorable one year old waving and yelling hi between innings, but still it was a pretty big deal to be thrown a players batting gloves. It was very cool and the icing on the cake of an awesome day. I'm sure we nor Kate will ever have such special treatment again, but it was a pretty memorable first baseball game, at least for Brian and I.

June Fun

The days of summer have arrived! Kate and I have been busy enjoying the days with beautiful weather outside, play dates, and a trip to Chicago. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I hope so because that seems all I have time for lately.

Fountain fun at Partridge Creek!

Play date with Abby

We are having a great and busy time in Chicago and will hopefully post more pictures soon.

The Hot Dog Song

Kate has recently really started to get into dancing. She is so cute as she just bends her legs, wiggles her butt, and bobs her head. We took her for a couple of minutes to the junior high dance at the youth house and she had a blast. Kate was adorably bopping to the music. She is a very outgoing child so the commotion, the noise, and all the people did not phase her. In fact she was trying to join the Congo line! Her favorite song is the hot dog song as you can see in the video below.

Our Growing Little Girl

Kate has been quite the cutie lately. She is in love with her Daddy and can't wait for him to come home! She waits at the door (like the picture above), calls for him, and screams in excitement when he walks in.We've also taken to calling Kate our "two-foot tornado". She can cause quite the amount of localized damage. I manage to get it all put away twice a day, but just barely.
Kate's hair is also turning very blond this summer and is even developing some little curls in the back. I can't resist trying to help the curls along by combing not brushing, and kind of scrunching it for style. She is quite the sweetheart and such a good little girl.
