Am I a horrible mother that this photo makes me laugh??
I promise Kate wasn't sad; she was just frustrated. She loves buckles right now and enjoys trying to put them together by herself. She's just not successful very often. It's hard for tiny hands!
Kate is letter-obsessed. She points to letters everywhere, and if she doesn't know one, she usually guesses C or P. She can now name (or identify) most of the alphabet. I'm a proud mama!

Here's a video of her naming some letters.
Sorry the video's all wonky; I was having a hard time holding Kate, the pen, and the camera, so I didn't realize I needed to turn it.
{soaked!} We had a family dinner at my parents' house this evening with my brothers' families. Kate didn't get in the kiddie pool, yet she somehow ended up soaking wet. It was a good thing we shopped at the outlets right before dinner, otherwise we wouldn't have had a change of clothes for the girl. She had a great time with her cousins!
Kate is SOOOO into letters these days! She points to them everywhere, wanting to know the name of each. There are even a few that she will (usually) name correctly!
Used my iPhone (Instagram app w/ tilt shift) to snap this image of Kate looking out the kitchen window today. And, yes, she is proudly sporting a measuring tape around her neck. After I had it out this morning, she had to have it, then wouldn't let go of it!
Caroline and I joined Nick and Kate at the neighborhood pool this afternoon. Daddy snagged us a great spot in complete shade, and there was a nice breeze, too. It was fun to be able to join them for a little while!
