Keeping Busy and Getting Messy

Kathleen's adjusting to life at home. Without an entourage to entertain her, she's busying herself with her toys and with standing at the edge of the sofa and exploring her house. She's very busy and generally very happy.




Bathtime has become a perilous undertaking, since all Kathleen wants to do is stand in the sink or climb onto the counter. I'm beginning to think it's time to move to the bathtub, but I haven't quite decided whether more room would be better or worse for our little monkey!

What's certain is that Kathleen needs a bath. Meals are super messy lately! Kathleen's working on more finger foods -- Cheerios, pears, bannanas, cheese. Cheerios seem to be her favorite, although she's a big fan of cheese, too. She hasn't quite mastered the pincer grasp to pick things up, but is surprisingly adept without it. She somehow grabs the food in her little fist and manages to work it up to the top of her fist and into her mouth. I wouldn't have thought it would work, but she happily crunches away on her Cheerios.
