Ready, set, go!

Katherine is really trying to crawl. The funny thing is that she tries the hardest when I am changing her diaper. I thought she was hard to change when she found her toes, but this is worse. As soon as I put her on the table, she flips over. Then she pushes up on to all fours and starts to rock back and forth. I expect her to take off any time. She is better at going backwards than forwards and I have been scared that she will back off the table into her clothes hamper. I am learning to change diapers and clothes when she is on her tummy, her side and her back.

Let me touch your face.

Today we went to visit my friend, Sarah, who has an 8 week old, Sydney. Lynette and Caedmon were there too. As the three kids were on the floor playing, Katherine was rolling over the other two kids and grabbing their faces. Once I even saw her trying to put Caedmon’s hand in her mouth.

We actually think she is a sweet girl who just appears to be the bully because she was the only one who was able to move around since she is 3-4 months older than the other two.

Reading with Daddy

Katherine loves to books. Sometimes she likes to read them. Other times she loves to eat them. She is learning about books right now. She knows how to hold them and that their pages turn. It is all a part of pre-reading.

For Father’s Day Katherine gave her daddy a tool book to read together. Each page has a tool piece that comes out of the book. She is investigating the screwdriver.

Do you really want me in here?

I think it is time to but the bouncy seat away (actually, give it back to Amy V.) Today she was fully sitting up in it and yesterday she was trying to roll over so hard that I thought she would tip it over. Not really, but she was sure determined.

Katherine is in a phase right now where she does not really want to be in any one spot for too long. Nor does she want her mommy to be out of her sight. It is very exhausting for one of us.

On a positive note, she is so interactive and fun. So, we are spending a lot of time reading, playing and singing together.
