Katherine has discovered her hands, and it is just precious. Here she is sucking her thumb. It is cute right now... :-)
Before we had children, we made tons of pictures of our cats. Not so much anymore, but I had to take this one. Samson was extremely relaxed here:
Mary Joyce has a whole bedtime entourage of stuffed animals that she takes to bed with her. The other day, she wouldn't get out of the crib without bringing Pooh Bear, her panda, and her baby doll with her:
I don't know what it is about the green laundry basket, but Mary Joyce loves it. One day, I need to do a thread here about Mary Joyce and the basket, and put all of the pictures in one spot. Anyway, she arranged her doll and stuffed animals, and laid down in there to finish her juice. She is definitely our little character! :)
Katherine still doesn't balance really well in her baby chair, but she likes it for short periods of time:
It took me a ton of tries to get a decent picture of Mary Joyce in this outfit. My sister got it for her before we ever went to China, and now it fits. Mary Joyce was a peanut when we got home from China.
I think this has to be my favorite snapshot of Katherine so far. It captures her little personality so well. She is such a sweet baby:
I looked over at the couch earlier today, and Mary Joyce was holding Samson on her lap, and he was content to let her. What a good kitty! Mary Joyce also started saying "kitty" today. It sounds like "kiki."
I discovered this afternoon that Katherine can sit pretty well propped up on the couch. She really seemed to enjoy the change in perspective:
Mary Joyce still likes Katherine's bouncy chair. Notice that she is wearing her socks on her hands. She put them there right after nap time and did not take them off until she had to do so to eat supper. She also buckled herself into the chair:

Oh, my word, Susan! Jody is already a busy lady, and now she's going to be even busier! What a house full!
I will add your blog to our blog roll when I have a little more time.
TWLP is still plugging along. 122b should get referrals in the next batch, and that includes our friends Jen and Mike.
Very sweet pictures!
The girls are so cute! Did Mary Joyce get her hair cut? I really need to cut Shea's, but am afraid she won't co-operate. I love the basket picture.

Dusty, I'm enjoying your photos. I, too, love that photo of Katherine smiling -- such a sweetie. And I laughed out loud at the photo of Mary Joyce with her socks on her hands -- my daughter did that YESTERDAY, and I thought it was so funny. Her socks were pink, too. Wonder what that's about?

Dana,
She had her first haircut at the end of August. It was shaggy, and driving me crazy, so we went on and did it. She actually did really well with the cut. She sat in her daddy's lap, and a lady from our church who is a beautician cut it.
Susan,
I don't know what the deal is with the socks. Mary Joyce put hers on her hands and kept them there until we had her take them off to eat. :-) (or did I say that already?)
