Katherine is 7 months old today! It's amazing how fast these months have gone, and I'm afraid they're just going to get faster. Here are some highlights of what our little one has been learning in just this past week.
Katherine can now move from her tummy to a sitting up position. She's used this to become mobile. Through a combination of rolling, sitting up and pushing herself backwards, she can get where she wants to go. This is providing longer spells of entertainment for her, where we can let her play on the floor while we do other things (in the same room). Over the holidays, we made the rooms where she'll be more "babyproof," so she can explore without us constantly having to protect her.
The most shocking feat Katherine accomplished came on Saturday. I was folding clothes on the floor while she played. She scooted over to the laundry basket and pulled herself up to a standing position and began taking clothes out! Ama-za-zing!!
Katherine and Arwen are also becoming even better buds. Arwen allows Katherine to use her as another soft option for practicing her climbing and grabbing skills. When I take Katherine with me to let the dogs out of their room in the morning and when we get home from going out, she kicks her legs and squeals at them and leans down to try to pet Arwen.
