Started using crayons.
Loves gathering leaves and throwing them.
Started going to an organized playgroup (run by City of Cambridge) for 15mos-5 years.
The bus fascination continues. Loves to ride the bus with Papa and talk about it incessantly.
Loves to collect pine cones (the stickier the better) and put them in the stroller
Started a really bad phobia of the bath. It continues....
Began with a babysitter on Friday afternoons so mama can grade papers. So far so good!


Kate with her crayons. The first day she was really into it I asked her what she was drawing. Response: "Cheese". Ha! Now she says cheese when she wants to color.

Loves Mama's sunglasses

On the Davis Square bike path in our neighborhood. I stop whenever I can to let Kate play in the leaves. She loves it!

She would also prefer to push her stroller than ride in it... makes for a long trip home some days.

With Papa looking at squirrels

Kate loves cats. Here she is with Scrapper the cat in Hanson (my parents' house)
