Katie Helps with the Canning

Katie has many commonplace baby talents. She can wave bye-bye. She can (finally) say "mama"! She can clap hands. She can stand up in her high chair. (The other kids want me to get a parrot and teach it to say, "Baby sit! Awk!") She can climb the stairs and even back her way back down.

There are not many babies, though, who know how to put up green beans and squash. She loves to do it, and I guess I am going to have to rig up some type of pulley system so it will be easier for her to reach the stove. She could use some tiny oven mitts, too, but her only real problem comes in during the picking of the vegetables. She eats too much dirt!

Dare: thanks so much for the update. Benjamin looks so grown up, as do Rachel and David. It was good to see what Amanda looked like on her fourth birthday. Katie is really getting into it too!

Love,

Daddy and Mommy

Wow! What a helpful baby. She must come in handy.
I just finished a bucket of sweet pickles and almost boxed one up to mail to you. Glad you have a vat of your own for Jason. I always think of him when I throw out the leftover pickle juice. :)

Dare: As usual, the blog is great! That's the best way I know to stay in touch. The pictures can be enlarged so beautifully. We really enjoyed Katie the cook.
