'Cause Katie sure is having a good time.
Well, it's official. She's crawling. Still sort of like a robot, and she really has a hard time on linoleum and tile with her little leggings on, but she's doing it. The other day, Sarah had a glass of water with ice (which Katie totally loves) and we decided to see how fast she was. Sarah gave her a sip, then put the water on the floor on the other side of the kitchen. Katie took, like, 3 1/2 seconds to get there. So Sarah would give her another sip and put it on the other side again. Etc.
It was minorly funny at several points because Katie has a tendency to fall on her face sometimes in her efforts to go too fast, especially on slippery floors, but still. When did my baby grow up so fast?
She kind of began it this weekend, when we went to visit Mike's sister Kliss and her husband, Brett. (Notice my skillful use of restrictive and nonrestrictive modifiers in that last sentence. It's all in the commas, man. All in the commas.) We went to their cute, well-decorated, non-expensive apartment and hung out this weekend. It was secretly supposed to be about dropping another sister off at college, but mostly it was not. We made sugar cookies, went on a walk, experienced church that was full of babies, and just hung out. It was so great! We really needed it to be able to de-stress and feel like real grown-ups for a while.
Unfortunately, I began to break the tenth commandment, as my dad would say. See, when we had our own apartment (ah, the good 'ole days!) it was both cinder block and way too expensive. Kliss's apartment is lovely drywall and is like half the rent than we used to pay. My jealousy is still raging.
Can you imagine? A dishwasher, a washer and dryer, and a stove that's big enough for a full-sized cookie sheet? Sigh . . .
