Katie on the Move

Katie has the desire to crawl but is lacking in skill. This does not stop her from moving all over the house. Today I set her on the kitchen floor, (no more counter time for her, she likes to dive head first off the counter, the couch, the bed, her car seat, basically anything with height), and before I knew it she scooted herself over to the dishwasher and began pulling out dirty forks, knives and spoons, and promptly sucking on them. Changing her diaper is now officially a contact sport. What she really likes is after 9:00 p.m. when Mark and Lauren are in bed she gets to sit on the floor of the office and play with Mark's trains, something she can not do when he is awake. She has her two bottom teeth, but she does not care much for food. She will eat oatmeal cereal, (she got tired of rice and refused to eat it any longer), she will eat fruits, but no vegatables. She is not doing well with solid foods. If anything solid goes in her mouth, (things we have tried include, mashed potatoes, graham cracker, cheerios, ice cream) she promptly gags, and the said item comes out along with the contents of her stomach. Its delightful.
