It's been so nice to be together as a family for the past week or so. Tim was off from work, and Anissa is out for 3 weeks. We've played, gone to parks, organized garages, done more laundry than we thought could be created in 6 weeks (not less 1) and enjoyed each other's company.
Kate is a complete joy. She's started to stick out her tongue when she's focused on a task. Such concentration! Her vocabulary continues to grow. She says "hot, outside, yeah, momma, dadda, and up" in regular rotation. Her favorite new word though is "happy". She's said it a few times already. The first time was at the park, it was cold and windy and she was sitting in the sand, shoveling sand into her pail. She just repeated the word over and over -- "hap-py" "hap-py". She knows how to melt our hearts.
And Kate's figured out how to open doors. We thought we had some more time yet since we have round doorknobs in the house. She now opens all of the closets and pantries and tries to help herself to goodies and all of the toys that we've put up and out of the way. We bought doorknob protectors that she's not supposed to be able to open, but it took her under an hour to figure one out. We're hoping it was a fluke.
Tim went back to work on Wednesday, and Kate's Grandma and Grandpa come out to visit us next week. We can't wait to see them.
