Katie gets social

We were sad to see Nana (Anne's mom) leave on Sept. 11 after spending a wonderful four weeks with us.



Left to make our own fun, Anne and Katie are keeping active. Katie was an angel at a couple of moms' group meetings. She also had her first play date last week with Lachlan, born just a month before her. Lachlan's mom, Liz, brought lunch and visited, and Lachlan tried out Katie's toys while Katie napped.



Katie, Anne and Sriyesh also helped Riley celebrate her first birthday. It was a beautiful fall evening and Katie had fun watching the big kids play.





Katie also has kept busy at home. Last week she started to gurgle and coo, with her favorite sound right now being "aaaaaaa". "Uhhhh" is a close second. She also started noticing her hanging toys, and she loves to swat at Mr. Parrot and Mr. Monkey, as well as the elephant toys on her jiggly chair.



Katie has been working hard on increasing her neck strength. She really enjoys pushing back off of our chests and looking around (reminding Anne of a little turtle).



We're also having a great time singing and dancing with Katie. Anne helps her do the hand motions to her old camp songs, and Sriyesh favors dancing to more contemporary tunes. But never fear -- we're still making time to cuddle.
