And now, for Grandma Tews

A nice view of our china and silver. This isn't the first time we've used this since our wedding. No... no, it's not. OK. It's the first time we used them since our wedding, 4 years ago. But we had a lovely dinner!


And Katie is learning to eat out of a bowl. Not quite ready for the Family Heirloom China. But really really close.


Millennium Park visit

We paid a visit to Millennium Park a couple of weeks ago (looking through our photos we realize that for some reason Katie ends up in this outfit in pretty much every weekend photo we ever take. We swear she has other clothes)



Anyway, we saw the Bean, which was pretty awesome



And played in the water




And on the grass (note Mom's office building, the big tall white one, in the background)

July visit to Minnesota

We paid a nice visit to Grandma and Papa's house in Minnesota, back in July. We thought that now, since we're headed back up to MN in a few days, we should post pictures from the last visit.

We especially enjoy the sleepy progression.

Sort of sleepy




Pretty sleepy



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz




And Katie's oldest cousin, Anna.

Things Katie does

Here's a professional photo since I haven't posted here in over a month and I know everyone's missing their Katie fix. I thought you'd like an update on the things Katie does, in the meantime.





1. She's fond of sleeping on her tummy, with her bottom sticking up in the air. This is supremely cute.

2. She eats cheerios and lots of other solid food in her high chair. She's about the least picky eater ever. She loves when Dad feeds her hummus. She eats whatever we happen to be eating. She is very cute while doing this.

3. When we want to pick her up from her high chair, we remove the tray and she starts wriggling and kicking and squealing and puts her arms up to get picked up because she is SO EXCITED to be getting out of her high chair. This, as you can imagine, is cute.

4. She drinks from a sippy cup like a champ. You can guess about the cuteness of this maneuver.

5. She loves to play with her box full of blocks and pulls herself up to standing on it, reaching in to remove the blocks, one at a time, and plopping back down to sit and play with them. And to try to eat a few. And to bang them together. Loudly. Also, cutely.

6. When you open up the door to the outside, she squeals and fastcrawlsrightover to go out the door. Cute times 1000

7. She is now cruising around the furniture. She loves to dive from her chair into a basket of laundry, into Dad's arms, onto the dog, etc. She is fearless. And adorable.
