San Diego

Early this week, we returned from a trip to San Diego. John gave a presentation on his dissertation at an accounting meeting (craaaaazy time!), and Katherine and I enjoyed San Diego and La Jolla. Once John's meeting was over, we all went to the aquarium at Scripps and enjoyed the sun.

Seal pups!

Chomp!

We had some rain in San Diego, so Katherine and I played in the hotel room for a while. I was able to sneak a rare video of her "talking". Whenever she sees the camera, she stops talking and guns for the camera for a nibble, which you'll see here too.

6 months!

Hey everyone!
Last week, Katherine celebrated her 1/2 birthday. I can't believe that she is already 6 months old!! Katherine is now able to sit up on her own for extended periods of time. We think she'll start crawling soon, too...she can get up on her knees, but ends up pushing herself backwards. We can see the frustration on Katherine's face...instead of moving towards the toy she wants (or Winston), she ends up going the wrong way. This past weekend, we reached a big milestone for Katherine...solids! (Up until now she's only worn stripes...I crack myself up!) Here are a few pictures of the fun and mess....

Winston already knows that treats will eventually fall from the highchair...I bet his buddy Charlie told him.
