We recently purchased a video camera, and we are ready to share with you our first productions, called "Baby Kate in her Jumper" and "Baby Kate Eats Sweet Peas." Our films promise to be rather mundane, but at least now that Kate is a little older, there are actual activities to film. If we'd had a video camera in those first days of her life, you'd have been subjected to movies called "Baby Kate Breathes In and Out" and "Baby Kate Blinks." It's probably best for everyone that we waited.
This first clip is of Kate enjoying the jumper/baby space ship we bought for her a few weeks ago. After some time trying to figure out how it works, she has become a big fan of this thing, and we have become big fans of watching her jump in it, because she looks like she's doing some kind of Riverdance-style Irish jig.
And this is footage of one of our early sessions with solid foods, where you can observe for yourself Kate's determination to be master of her own destiny and control the spoon. She's mostly quit doing it now, but she had gotten pretty sneaky about darting her hand in at the last second to grab the spoon. A few times, I just let her have it, but then she'd invariably try to stick it down her throat.

Jackson just watched these films, entranced. I think he has a crush on Kate. That, or he wants to eat her peas.
Thank you for your sweet call and for checking in on my blog regularly! Things have been crazy here and are just starting to let up. I'm dying to call you and catch up on everything...we're running around today, but I'm going to try you tomorrow. Hope to talk soon!!!

She's a baby genius! These videos are priceless. Haley, the look of love is in Kate's eyes when she is looking at you. I know you see her devotion to her wonderful Mommy.
