Ok, so I have slacked a little on our updates of Kate. She is getting so big! The pictures don't show very well, but she is getting really "ticked," meaning she is getting very spotted. The spots are dark and light brown and will be beautiful when they totally show through. These were taken a few weeks ago but it has taken me a bit to figure out how to get them on the computer!

I think my timing on this picture was pretty good, don't you?

Here she is all stretched out so you can see some of the spots on her back. They are even more defined now.

She has now pretty much destroyed this slipper. She was chewing on so many other things and this pair of slippers was about 10 years old, that I finally gave in and let her have it.

Here you can see how big she is standing up. You can also see the strapping (coming out of her head) that has saved the straps on our bags. Oh, the simple toys in life (the maroon rope and brown strapping and another strapping in our room were about $5 from the fabric store.)

Now that I will have my camera home full-time and more time on my hands, I will hopefully be a bit better about getting more updates in general and more pictures of Kate on here.
