Sitting Pretty

Kate continues to amaze us with the things she is learning and mastering so quickly. We began trying to hold her up in a sitting position a couple of weeks ago and just recently she has really gotten the hang of it. Of course, like all things she learns, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Now we sit her up for a few minutes of her bath and she has discovered how fun it is to splash

She is now shopping with Momma like a big girl...sitting up in the shopping cart. Here she is with me in Target

We also hung her swing outside. It's hard to tell from the serious look on her face here, but she loves it!

Showing off her skills in her crib. Kate says, "Look! No hands!"

And here's a few other random recent events...

Eating and laughing - she just started chuckling one afternoon while I was feeding her oatmeal. You may have to turn up your volume a little to hear her.

We are also working on some teeth (none yet). One night while Nick was feeding her she snatched the spoon out of his hand because she thought she could handle it herself and she liked the way the spoon felt on her gums

Kate also has a hard time slowing down long enough to sleep these days. She's still a great sleeper at night for the most part. Every once in a while, she'll wake up ready to play about an hour after we put her down. This is one night when Nick and I were about to eat dinner after Kate went to bed. She thought she wanted to play so we just let her hang out for a few minutes.
