Summer Learning

Yummy yogurt.

Decided to sit in the basket with the books while she read.
Just can't resist this smile.
Trying so hard, but always seems to get the shoe upside down.
Chilling in my chair.
Ready to ride.
Talking to daddy on the phone.

Well, the summer is over and school is in and I miss my time with Katie so much. She learned so much over the summer and had so much fun. Katie has learned how to feed herself using utensils, to brush her hair, put on her shoes, to walk on her knees, to throw her cup down when it's empty, to walk really well holding on to furniture and pushing her car around, to climb on to her car to sit, to place things on her car to push around, to point with her thumb and then her pointer finger, what kitchen cabinet to get into, to throw balls, to pet Quillow gently, and to talk on the phone. There are lots of other exciting things that she is doing. For about the past month and a half she has really been interested in her books. She crawls over to her basket of books all the time, picks one out, crawls over to me, hands me the book and crawls into my lap. She likes to repeat this process several times. Sometimes she will get books out and flip through the pages and read to herself. Of course, I love this time because she is sitting still for a little while. Katie has become very interested in Quillow again. She screams with delight when she sees them and will fly out of our arms to get down by him. She has learned to pet him very gently and loves to get down face to face and look at him. Katie is able to recognize when we pull into the driveway and are home. She squeels with joy when we pull into the driveway. She loves to try and help us get her dressed. She often ends up pulling her bottoms down instead of up be she has the idea. She still loves to put everything in her mouth. Katie is such a delight and we love her tremendously.
