Wow

Katie has been great just grand. She has been climbing stairs, as if it was something she has done all her life. We went out for kabobs last night and she chowed down on Persian flatbreads, rice, and chicken and beef kabobs.

Our big musicial news is that Katie just correctly sang the first five notes to Beethoven's 9th that she hears from one of her toys! Of course, she didn't sing the words, but she sang it to "Ba." It was a one performance show for today.

Good girl!

Katie's First Holiday Season

Eugene and Katie hanging out "Christmas style". Katie is sporting a beautiful handmade sweater by Sally!

Katie's first painting!

Little Katie had fun with fingerpainting today! Her teacher said she had a blast. Is she following in her grandma's footsteps?

A first! Now it's really time to babyproof (and lift the railing)!

Thanksgiving!

Thankgiving was fun as always. We spent a little extra time in NJ visiting family and Princeton.

Great Turkey, Uncle Joe!

It's fun to play with Uncle Steve!

New great cousins to play with!

"Um, I ordered the organic strained peas medium rare..."

Meeting friends Teresa and Allegra!

Having fun in the lobby. Where all the cool kids hang out!

"Can I get this to go?"

This chicken parmesan was bigger than Katie! This was the first of many NJ diners for Katie. Thanks to the wonderful staff and service at the Clairmont Diner in Hightstown, NJ.

We will be updating the blog shortly with new photos! Yup, we're lame! Katie is keeping us really busy...but in a very good way.

Katie's First Halloween (not loving her monkey costume)

Here we are at our neighborhood's Halloween Parade (photos by Steve and Alan). It was a bit too warm for the monkey costume, but Katie tolerated it.
