Settling In

So, just as I’m thinking that Miss Katie pie slept late and may not need a nap, I look over to find her swaying and bobbing in her booster seat/high chair, and Kevin smiling, also watching her. No, I guess her little body has become used to the routine of eating lunch, then taking a nap for a couple hours. Sweeeet. She did open her eyes and look at us, but was so tired, her eyes just closed again.













Kate's interest in Murphy has grown. She watches him and the way we interact with him, and a few times has been brave enough to pat him from the back. The other day she was tired of her dinner (which does not happen often) and looked down to see Murphy standing close...Hhmmmm... a piece of food somehow fell off her tray...Murphy ate it instantly. A moment later, another piece of food somehow jumped off the tray...Murphy, good dog that he is, picked it up for her (and ate it). You could just see the wheels turning...Kate holds out a little piece of meat and you-know-who came and gingerly ate it out of the outstretched baby fingers. We have now progressed to partners in crime.











Okay, it really was raining lightly, I promise (with big drops coming off the house and the umbrella we were standing under) when we took these pictures...somehow the rain just didn't show up in the picture! Kate seemed interested as to where the water was coming from. Has she ever been out in the rain before?





We're not sure how, but Kate seems to have inherited the family 'goober' gene. :)
