Birthday Weekend
Two weekends ago, Aunt Sharon and Uncle Jamey flew into town for two whopping nights to wish Grandma happy birthday. The kids had a great time, and Katherine helped them make …. pumpkin pie. She also helped make me upside down apple cake for a birthday celebration. Katherine reveled in the desserts. Allison oogled but was denied. ๐
Swinging the Gate
Allison’s favorite past-time is swinging the baby gate at the bottom of the back stairs. We put her down anywhere in the family room and within a few minutes, she’ll cruise her way to the gate. Her greatest joy is opening the gate, walking thru to the stairs, backing up, closing the gate…repeat…repeat…repeat. Allison is very stable these days, falling to her bottom only when Katherine tries to help her not fall.
When in the kitchen, she invariably opens the bottom drawer next to the refrigerator which is full of cups and other various babysafe items. Within minutes, they’ll end up flung to the various corners of the kitchen.
