Various Kate Shots
Yes, the proud papa must display all the cute photos of the cute kid...  You know how it goes.  It's in a rule book somewhere... ANYWAY.  Here you go.  I've changed the layout to galleries to make it clearer which you've seen and which are probably new.  As always, just mouse over the thumbnails for the captions!

  Gallery #2 (9-7-04):
This was a nice long shutter speed shot that Julie took by mistake. It's kind of cool, and looks almost like one of those double exposure shots...
 What, I can't eat stuff off the floor? whatchootalkinbout, Willis!!
 This was Kate's latest JC Penny portrait. They didn't give us the online options this time, so this was as good as I could do!
 Story Time! She will actually sit through about 2 books now, so... She'll be a reader!
The tupperware cupboard. Massive destruction. She loves it.
 Hey mom, are you watching?
 At least we can get the dishes done and dinner in the oven, right?
 One of the random pictures that just cracks me up! I think I'll give an award for the best caption, you know, like Reader's Digest?
Brian playing with her monkey...
 You got it! Yay!
 She loves the stairs, I must say.
 This is one I forgot to put in the previous gallery, but is such a great shot. This is probably at 6 months
This is how Kate sits in her high chair... Indian style! Very cute, I must say.
 This is from our visit to the Shotwells late Aug 04
 Kate and Sarah Shotwell. Sarah and Kate feel differently about the experience... HA!


Gallery #1 (8-9-04):
Kate's fascination with things struck a chord with Julie when she picked up the spray butter. That was their joke in college: Suzanne Cooper (maiden: Arnold) would have like 6 of these in the fridge at any given time.
 Again, the whole spray butter joke...
 Dinner time!
 MMMMmmm..... Carrots... Apparently, by smearing their dinner all over their faces, babies learn how to eat properly... Hmmm....
Watch out, Mrs. Buttersworth!
 AAAAARRRRGG!!!!
 Preparing for a mid-winter walk.
 Kate all bundled up for a mid-winter walk. We tried it outside the coat, but the wind was horrible, so she got zipped up into my jacket. It worked!
Bath time, or, "whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis!?"
 The classic. Note the different oven mitt on the sink... what's that about?
 Her bouncy chair. She was only in it for a couple months, but enjoyed her stay!
 When she was first sitting up. cute as ever!
Julie goes all Anne Geddes on us. Just Kate in the Laundry Basket!
 Everything into the mouth. I think it's foul, but Julie will give her chicken bones to gnaw on. EEEEWWW!!
 Dad, a nod toward your combine in the mirror shot with this one of Kate on the changing table
 Trying to do the STEVE with her. She enjoys being upright, however. This got me thinking... could she sit on her own?
YES! by gum, she can!
 just plain happy!
 Ahh, sleeping in. Babies sleeping are the most heart-melting thing around, aren't they?
 I would call this PASTORAL (as in the musical term)
AWWWWwww!!!!
 Drama Queen
 Grandma loves her grandbaby!
 This was on our day in Occoquan, where Kate projectile vomited while Ryan was wearing her (facing out). She's not happy about being there at this point.
Special relationships!
 Just plain cute!
 Grandpa, what are you doing!!!!!!
 And, the NUK makes it all better, right?
Her valenties outfit, provided by Deshua Joyce... She gave us some winners!
 Kate and her cousin Simone
 Kate and Georgia, the daughter of Buffy and Jimi Grande, our friends here in Burke
 Nana and Pop Pop came to help with my surgery... No pictures of that, no worries
