Swinging & Spinning ! Hooray! - June/July 2006

Katelyn absolutely LOVED her Johnny-Jump-Up swing!  (You know, one of those suspended seat swings you hang from a doorway.)  She could not seem to get enough!  But then, quite suddenly, when she'd had enough, she'd really had enough and had to get out of that thing immediately!

Melly and Kate w/Daddy - July 4, 2006

Noisy toys suddenly could not be noisy enough either.  She loved one rattle in particular that was much louder than all the rest, and became very upset at day care if she saw another baby playing with the rattle there that was identical to ours.  She was voicing a lot of frustration with her quick temper and loudly demanded help immediately.  She wasn't babbling much, but would say "Mom!" quite forcefully when angry.  She was slow using her legs and got around just pulling herself by her arms for a long time.  Her first 4th of July she watched the fireworks calmly, while Melanie covered her ears.
