Nothing screams Iowa girl like an 18 month old eating sweet corn right off the cob! Kate was digging her first piece of Iowa sweet corn. For those of you who have never eaten fresh Iowa corn on the cob, you really are missing out on the best corn ever! There's a difference...I promise!The girls are doing great. Kate is just blossoming more and more each day. I told John just the other day that I feel like about 2 weeks ago Kate really came out of her shell. It just seems like she woke up one day and said, "yep, this is MY home and MY family". She's done great all along with the attachment stuff but it was just something that clicked I think. She is such a fun loving girl and tries so hard to keep up with Leah & Lauren. She is constantly trying to walk around in Leah's shoes. Lauren is smitten with her and insists on giving her a kiss and a hug everytime Kate is going for her nap or for bed. Kate has learned how to say no and likes to say it very much now! She has several other words that she can say but no seems to be the favorite! Well, you can click on the photo below to see more pictures of what we have been up to this summer. By the way, I know it takes me forever to update the blog but I've actually done 2 in one day so check out Lauren's birthday below! :)
