Kate has evidently reached that stage of grasping at things. Allie and I were playing Rummikub during dinner and I was about to make a mega move when Kate decided to go for my sweet and sour chicken. I had greatly underestimated her grasping abilities until tonight. Apparently eating, holding Kate, and playing a game was too much multitasking for me and Kate seized the opportunity. By the time Allie yelled, "Mom!" and I realized what was happening it was too late. With lightning speed the fistful of food went into her hair, all over the floor, the table and me. I instantly learned it's a lot easier to get rice and sweet and sour sauce off those bald baby heads than the hairy variety. Actually, I think she was just as surprised as the rest of us at the whole ordeal. Notice the rice and sauce all over her sleeper and in her hair. I personally love the carrot perched on her shoulder--it really did land that way!

That is too funny! That grasping stage always hits like a ton of bricks. I hate though that they can't be lap babies anymore:(
Yum! I love sweet and sour chicken, too. It's funny when they surprise themselves. Maybe Kate just wants to be big too. I have found with Ellie that she doesn't want baby food as much as she wants what her older sister and brother are eating. She grunts and cries until she gets a taste. And I have to admit that I'm not as strict about the whole feeding regiment as I was with the other two. Ellie often eats a little bit of what we're having for dinner. I guess it's easier that way and with 3 kids, I'm all for easy! :)
Oh my gosh! That is such a cute picture. Kate is such a cutie-pie! All of your kids are. Are you glad to be done with the third year? Yipee!!
SHE IS SOOOO CUTE! I miss her so much already! Can't wait for 26 more days!!!
Look how sweet and innocent she looks. So cute! I am home now, we need to have a playdate and I have to steal Kate for awhile while you run errands, or take a nap.
Well do you blame her, girls' got good taste! Very cute entry kim!
sweet and sour, my favorite, besides your yummy spaghetti and meatballs. Kate is seriously one of the cutest babies ever. Keep posting pictures! Good luck with the move.
