Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

A Busy Week

Jennifer had the week off to celebrate her birthday, and while she was home, we kept Katie pretty busy. She had her first visit to the zoo. Just like when she's in any new situation, she was pretty quiet and serious at the zoo as she took everything in. She did like waving to the animals when she saw them which was pretty funny!
At the zoo


Later in the week, Katie had her first picnic at a lake. We chose a picnic table right next to the lake, so she could keep her eye on any action. She loved watching the people swimming and fishing in the lake and also enjoyed waving to the people passing by. She really, really likes being outdoors, so it was easy for my parents to sit with her at the picnic table while Jennifer and I walked around.

In other news, Katie has started crawling. She has a really wacky crawl. She crawls normally except for her right leg. Instead of keeping her right leg bent, she swings that leg straight out to her side, and stands on her toes to move forward. Her left leg stays bent. I'm not sure what is going on with the right leg, but she gets where she needs to go!  She has also learned to pull herself up on her feet when she is next to a piece of furniture. The learning continues.
