Kid News - May 2007

May has flown by!

Katherine: turned 3 on the 28th.

Current favorite things: the old Fisher Price "Chatterphone". Silly Putty (birthday present). Still enjoys TuxPaint, but not Starfall as much. Still likes her "Eye-Block", though it's no longer as prominent in her playing. Still likes the Carl books (we currently have borrowed "Carl's Birthday" from the library). Oh, and she likes putting money in the "moffering" at church. It's very cute.

Emily: almost 10 months old.

She likes to stand up and "cruise" around, though she's not standing or walking independently yet. She loves to eat food (except too much sweet potato), and her top two front teeth are finally coming in.

Though easy-going as far as not fussing over odd things happening, she's also very determined and slightly stubborn, not quickly sidetracked from whatever she had set her mind on doing at the time.

Some kids carry around a blankie... some carry around a stack of square Duplo blocks (preferably blue and red - or at least, a stack with no yellow in it)


Emily likes to be bounced


Posing with Daddy

In May we went strawberry picking several times, though the season ended at the end of the month when we got a spell of hotter weather.

Strawberry picking at another farm. Katherine most liked playing with the flag instead (flags marked where people had stopped picking on a given row).


Guess what, Mom? I do like strawberries!


We celebrated Katherine's 3rd birthday at a family dinner when her cousin Collin was in town.



Carrot cake, at her request - though she really ate more ice cream than cake.

Grandma and Emily


Daddy helping Katherine try out her new talking globe (thanks to Aunt Julia who found it at the thrift shop!)... I think Daddy and Mommy enjoy it more than she does, though she likes to make it play music from different countries.


making a face... probably impatient to be fed



Then at the end of May, we got to go visit Krista (Deutschmann) Albee, who just had her 2nd baby. She and her family live about 30 minutes from us.

Not so sure about Madschen...


... but still trying to play with her
