I promise you guys that Katelyn is not sour-faced all the time! When she’s around a lot of people or if there are strangers in the room, she doesn’t demonstrate all the things she’s learning. Here’s a taste of what Daddy and Mommy get to see and enjoy!
It’s amazing what children pick up without you even teaching them. In our house, we have a room dedicated to my piano. This is also the same room where we practice singing if we are assigned to do special music or something. Katelyn has identified this room as the music room and she knows exactly what we do there.

April 18th, 2008… a day which will live in… what’s the opposite of infamy? Famy? At the grand old age of 1 year, 8 months, 1 week and 2 days, Katelyn has AT LAST taken her very first unassisted steps!
