Aaron and Johnna's Sweet Life In Alabama: September 2007

Perfect Playmates (September 11, 2007)

Sophie came over for a quick visit while Melanie ran some errands. Catherine was so excited to see Sophie that she almost knocked her over with her hugs and kisses. The girls really enjoy seeing each other. Sophie will even say she wants to come see Catherine (or, as she calls her "Taz!")

The girls gave lots of hugs and kisses to each other throughout the morning. Can you see how tall Sophie is? She is getting so tall!

Catherine loves to share her toys --- until you try to touch them. :) hee hee!

Look what you can do! (September 5-6, 2007)

Catherine is 14 months old now. She is growing so fast and can do so many new things now! She just recently discovered her ears. She can find them when asked (well, most times). She also has found her belly button!

Crawling is a thing of the past. She's really improved her walking skills, though she still trips up and falls down hundreds of times a day!

Catherine likes to play peek-a-boo with her hands! "There she is!"

Whoaaa, Catherine! Thankfully, your feet aren't that big yet! Catherine found Mommy's shoes and decided to try them out!

Toy-Box (August 28, 2007)

This is truly a toy-box. After I emptied this box of diapers, Catherine decided to play in and with the box. Who needs boring old toys when you've got a cardboard box?!

Catherine fit so tightly in the box, the only way she could get out was to fall over and then crawl out.

Anyone want a ride?

Stars Baseball Game! (August 2007)

Aaron got free tickets to a Stars Baseball game, so we headed out to the sweltering heat to enjoy some family time.
Catherine was given 2 baseballs. Daddy was really excited! :)

Catherine didn't like the mascot close up. She would point to him and say 'please' (sign language), but when we got close, she wanted nothing to do with him.

Catherine much preferred the mascot on his 4-wheeler zooming by! :)

Bad Parenting Skills? (August 2007)

Like I said in the previous post, Catherine loves playing with her dolls. She likes to imitate me feeding the baby, hugging and kissing the baby. I don't know where she picked up these habits--I've never stood on Catherine!

I can honestly say we've NEVER sat on Catherine's head. :)

No, sadly she is not giving the baby CPR (chest compressions); she is just putting all of her weight on the baby's chest. Once again, we've never done that to Catherine! :)
