Red Thread To Katie: April 2012

What Should I Do?

What should I do when my grandma is busy at her computer, Aunt Jennifer is busy working, and my mom is taking care of her sore leg?

I'll do the Hokey-Pokey with Elmo!

Well, there's Chloe to play with!

What could beat this? I'm surrounded by Aunt Jennifer, Chloe, and two computers!

Come on, Elmo! Let's dance again!

I'm Gonna Get Your Camera!

I found some toys that look interesting.

Grandma begged me to build with her. I'll try to satisfy her need to play!

Chloe just licked this bowl out. I better try the same thing!

Mmmm…tasted particularly yummy!

Look at this! I can climb on my rolling car to reach up higher!

What do you mean, get down?

I think I'll try to fly while balanced on my car instead!

Here's what I think of getting down!

Take that!

Jennifer asked me the other day if I ever get those looks from Katie that seem like she's saying, "You're so stupid!" I told her that I get plenty of those looks - starting in China. The funny thing is that Katie has impeccable timing. I usually get those looks when I'm doing something pretty stupid! I caught one of her looks on camera today. It's probably all-innocent, but it makes me laugh!

Really?

What a Way to Get a Drink

Last weekend, we had beautiful weather. Not only was it dry, but it was also really warm! We took Katie out on a walk to enjoy it. On the way back, we stopped at the grocery store, so the adults could get some water. Katie wanted a drink too, but she didn't have her own bottle, so we had to make do!

I'm ready to roll! Let's go!

This is a fun way to get a drink! Chloe got a drink the same way as me!

Hello?

Last weekend, Katie re-discovered her light-up Halloween necklace. She had a lot of fun playing with the necklace as a necklace, but then she decided that it worked well as a phone too.

Dialing My Friend

Waiting for the Phone to Ring

Hello? Is anyone there?

It's been nice talking to you too!

Chloe Gets a Bath

Last weekend, Chloe got a bath. Like most dogs, she started running around like a crazy dog after she was out of the bath. Katie thought it was so funny, and started chasing her around. The pictures are a little fuzzy since both Chloe and Katie were running. If you had sound with the pictures, you would have heard Chloe barking and Katie yelling as she ran. It was a quiet and calm house!

I can run like you!

Stopping for a Drink

It's fun to run and scream!

How is Chloe so fast? I can't keep up!

You knocked me over when you ran past me, Chloe!

I can finally catch up with you since you laid down.

Someone needs to give Chloe a treat! She's waiting!

Is that dog under the table?

I think I see you!

Look, Chloe! I found Grandma's camera!

Say cheese!

Busy Bee

Katie loves spending time outdoors when the weather is nice. One of her favorite things to do is to help walk Chloe when we're close to the house.

Let's Go Chloe!

I'm Keeping My Eye on You!

What a Nice Day!

After Katie's and Chloe's walk, Katie came in for a nice refreshing drink of water.

Here's the perfect spot - on top of Aunt Jennifer's computer!

Nothing beats water after a brisk walk!

This is so comfortable!

After rolling around on the dog bed and covering her black pants with Chloe's white hair, Katie spent some time sitting on the deck and enjoying the weather again.

What a fun day!

Looking for a Snack

When Katie went looking for a snack the other night, Chloe wasn't far behind in hopes that she would get something good too!

What's in here to eat?

I found some cherries, Chloe!

Setting some cherries on the floor for Chloe.

This is a yummy snack!

Hiding from the Camera

Getting a "Facial"

When Jennifer came home for lunch one day, she helped Katie stand on the kitchen counter next to the humidifier. Katie ended up giving herself a do-it-yourself facial!
