Kate--At Home

See my teeth? I have four and they are good for all of the chewing I do! I ate a whole talapia fillet and 1/2 a baked potato for dinner last night. No wimpy baby food for me.
Yumm. The bow even tastes good!

Playing with the shape sorter. I love toys!

I put them in and I take them out. I could do this all day. When one got out of my reach, I flipped over and started a tiny little crawling action. Maybe I'll crawl pretty soon! Who knew?

So fun! I played with that yellow piece of mail for a long time.

Miss Diana, thank you for the bunny and the gorgeous outfit! I LOVE them.

A new toy a neighbor brought over last night. Thanks Cailin and Meagan! They even brought "spy gear" for my brothers! Everyone is so nice here.

Mom and me hanging out in the kitchen this morning. Mom is a little tired (as you can see) but she is having so much fun with me that she doesn't mind a bit.

My brothers love this bunny too (from Diana). It vibrates and scoots on the floor when you pull its tail. I needed to remind them that it is mine.

Eating a beautiful engraved silver rattle from mom's friend, Miss Amber. I love this. I carry it around with me everywhere. It makes a soft pretty chime.

Okay, what is this white stuff? We certainly were not expecting snow here the day before Easter! We don't really have warm clothes for Kate so she just looked through the window.

You are just so cool Dad.

I love it here!

Looking up to my big brother already.

Sleepy baby.

Her favorite place to be...in Dad's arms. But Mom is running a close second.

Kate is doing well. As you can see, she loves to play and smile. She seems very happy and she is bonding well. She is developing right in front of our eyes every day. The first day home we were saying our blessing before eating a delicious dinner (brought by a very generous neighbor--thank you DeAun) I asked if anyone had anything to add to our prayer. Will burst out saying, "God please let Kate continue to use her fingers to feed herself like she is right now!" We all looked over and Kate was putting her first little apple puff into her mouth. A week ago Dave said she had no idea how to use her thumb! Then today, she rolled over and started to show early steps of crawling. You can see how everything is a new adventure for her. We are loving life! In fact, Dave and I kind of fight over who gets her (in a loving way of course). Sorry for the incredibly long post and tons of pictures. I am having so much fun snapping away and figured while she is napping on Daddy's chest, I would do this. Happy Easter!
