We were only gone for a bit over a week, but Kate has become so much more mischievous and curious in that short time. I thought she could get into things before, but it was nothing compared to what she's able to do now! The pictures above show what she managed while I was brushing my teeth. Apparently, it's no longer enough to take stuff out of the drawers, she now wants to use the drawer as a stepping stone to get onto the bed. I'm sure she'll figure that out in no time, and then we'll really be in trouble! She can open all the drawers and cabinets in the house now, even the drawer under the oven. We decided to let her have "her" drawer in the kitchen, but since they are self-closing drawers (making for nasty finger-pinching), Ryan smartly thought of using the "finger pinch guard" that was in our baby-proofing kit. What did Kate proceed to do? Not surprisingly, the first thing she took off was the finger pinch guard!! What good is that?? On the upside, as long as we can avoid the pinching, the drawers keep her very occupied, so we won't complain about that! In other "big" Kate news (big to us, anyway....), she has learned how to share this week. Well, sort of. She understands how to give something to someone, and it is her new favorite game. It takes her hours to tire of playing "give that to mommy, please..." Of course, her favorite part is "now it's Kate's turn!" Much to Hickory's delight, she's also learned that she can feed other people (and dogs). She's also discovered bouncy balls, and loves to play with them. We're working on rolling it back and forth. The excitement never ends!! :)
