Air Kater-poos

Kate has a pair of tennis shoes (thanks cousin Jill) that seem to make her jump REALLY high in her jumparoo. Every time she is wearing them she just goes crazy jumping and laughing. We call them her Air Kater-poos or her Jumping Shoes. Here are a few pics of us playing with Kate before her bath time Thursday evening. She loves touching faces and pulling hair...which makes my eyes cross and want to cry because I have a very tender head. Oh well, I can put up with it as long as she likes it. She also plays with my hair (gently) while she's eating her bottles. It's really sweet. After Brad read the "Favorites" post, he reminded me that I forgot to add my hair to the list....she does love it. And here is a pic of Kate that I posted because I love it. I can almost see the wheels in her head turning. She is such a curious and hard-working baby. I say hard-working because she will work on something as long as it takes her to figure out whatever it is she's looking for...she's like her Daddy in that way.A week ago or so, she started acting like she wants to pull-up on things. She more or less crawls up onto our legs or any other thing that is close to the ground. She is still learning how to crawl and hasn't gotten much further than getting on all fours and then making a bridge (that's the best way to describe what she does, like the opposite of a back-bend). She's our little mover and shaker!!
