the ins and outs



 on the screen behind me, says the fair Katherine, is the blog updates.  I help out mommy with her one handed skills

sometimes I let her use both hands.




 Benjamins first time choosing everything he wanted to wear...



right down to the in style leg warmers



 almost time to get out of the bassinet!


 Two in the car.

Never a problem:)

until it's time to get out




 Grab mommy moments when you can fit them in.





 A wee chilly out, makes for hood day!






Fresh bread almost ready to go in the oven!

to snooze or not to snooze

My family is having a blast with me!

Mommy watches the birds as she rocks me to sleep, I snooze about 3 or 4 times a day, sometimes I go to sleep ON MY OWN in my bouncy chair (I have found my thumb, and thank you, it's delicious!)

However, more often then not, I prefer to be bounced then rocked, so mommy looks at the birds, and the trees, and the odd Mastiff who walks by the window, and thanks God for her many blessings.

Daddy had me come and watch a sport that he says I am going to love someday soon.  He took a 2 day intensive course on intermediate and advanced canoeing techniques, skills he already knew, but enjoyed sharpening up on.  Look out rapids!  In the picture they are practicing rowing up quickly to a pretend dock and then stopping right beside it without bumping dock or canoe!  Pretty awesome stuff.

Sometimes squeals and thumps and bumps and yells and kisses and hugs are what wake me up from a snooze, and sometimes the culprits come in for a closer look!  followed by a kiss and a poke (not necessarily in that order)

My big brother Benjamin was surprised with a get well card from Great Gramma B!  It made him smile and not only because it was sent from so far away, but because it had things he could recognize on it all by himself!  Cars, trucks, street lights, stickers, the letter B.... all things he loves!  He opened the envelope all by himself and the rest of us watched as he danced and skippered and smiled around the room, showing us and pointing out all the details of Great Gramma B's thank you card!  Thank you Gramma, what a gift!
All in all we are doing well!  I am loving my family!
I love the loops around the house
the sand in the sandals
the continual attempts at making dinner time an enjoyable affair
the water that doesn't stay in the tub
and
the kisses and hugs that I'm never tired of.
did I mention I'm rolling on my side?

Love
Katherine
