Late September Fun!

Katie loves strawberries! We went out for Japanese Buffet and she ate them one after another. She wasn't interested in the little cut up pieces, but wanted a strawberry to hold.

Playtime with Aunty Mandy!
We celebrated Dustin's 29th birthday this week.
We baked lots of cookies for the church bake sale and Katie was very interested in what was going on. She kept peeking in the oven. It was fun to have her crawling around the floor and eating in her highchair while I worked. I can't wait until she's old enough to help bake cookies with me!
Playtime! She loves her leapfrog learning table!

Las Vegas

We've traveled a lot this summer. Katie has taken 3 airplane rides and 2 road trips. We've been to Laughlin, San Francisco, Las Vegas twice, Corona three times, and San Clemente twice. We just returned from Vegas...and now it's time to put away the suitcases for awhile and get settled back into our routine.

We are so blessed that we get to travel with Dustin while he works. He only has a couple months of school left, then we're looking forward to taking a graduation vacation as a family.

Playing at the pool. It was amazing to see the difference in Katie's development compared to pool time when we were in Vegas last month. She wasn't happy to just sit on the stairs and splash. She crawled all over the place. Crawled out of the pool, in the pool, jumped off the top stair and assumed that I'd always be there to catch her, and kicked and waved her arms as we swam around! Lots of fun, but very tiring for both of us.








Katie took some nice long naps. Swimming wore her out! Here she is all snuggled up on the bed right before I joined her!










Out in front of the hotel on our way to dinner.
