New pics

What happens when you go several weeks without blogging? You have 25 new pictures to post, and that's AFTER you go through all your pictures to find the very best.

What do you mean you "want to get pregnant", Mom? I already have a brother and sister. See?

Finally, they're letting me do some cooking.

"Katy, where's your mouth?"

"Where are your ears?"

"Where's your nose?" Umm, it's this one, right?

"Where's your hair?"

So, Mommy and Daddy, what do you want for breakfast?

Another birthday present for me? Mommy, I told you my birthday wasn't over yet!

Hoooo-wee! Do I love birthday presents! Thank you, Uncle Jarrod and Aunt Kristen! Yes, Mommy explained that we never give gifts on time between our two families. It's a tradition that should be honored.

Reviewing animals as the anticipatory set for our field trip to the zoo.

Okay, Grandpa, can you guess what animal is on the other side of this card?

What? There is already someone called the Naked Chef??? Darn, what should my handle be, then?

At the zoo!
Testudo!
The shy orangutan.Katy insisted that all the gorillas were "Baby!" Even the big ones.

A serious moment at the zoo, perhaps reflecting on endangered species.

Is this an evil petting zoo?

Yeah, guys. Those giraffes are fascinating. Way to save my favorite animals for the very last stop.

Oh, I'll pass on the ice cream, but could I have a little more spinach?

Mmm, thank you!

The longies (wool pants to cover cloth diapers) I knitted for my friend's baby Carl. He's turning one!

The New Stuff

OK, so we haven't blogged in a while. Here are some of the highlights since Katy's birthday.

Here she is in a dress Ms. Gwen made for her. This is Grammy's retirement party.

A belated birthday post

Well, as you know, Katy turned 1 over a week ago now. We have been pretty busy, mostly relaxing and having fun with Katy, so I am just now getting around to posting about her birthday. We had a nice party for her on Saturday, with friends and family. I think there were about 20 or 25 people.

Katy got lots of presents. First Mommy helped her open them. Then we switched off and Daddy helped her open the rest. She LOVES her birthday cards. We have kept them all in a stack by her new fishtank, and she loves to look at the fish and leaf through her birthday cards. Anyway, here are the pics of present time.

Here is her cake, made by my friend Gwen. Isn't it beautiful?

Here is Katy last week at Grammy's retirement party, wearing the dress that Gwen made for her!

Here is Gwen with something else beautiful that she made! I think she had some help from her husband Frank with this particular project. His name is Carl, and he's Katy's buddy. :) Katy can even say his name! Sort of.
