In Maine with Cate

All dressed up - Is there someplace to go?


Dressing up in Grandpa's glasses. It's the English teacher look:)

Cate gets her first bite of "real" food - rice cereal. She loved it.

Him, Tarzan; me, Jane:)

An early birthday celebration for Gramma. Cate thinks that present looks interesting. I'm kind of loving that chocolate cake. Lindsay made it from scratch for me. What a sweetie!

Cate goes to "camp"

Playing with Daddy.

Hanging out on the dock with Gramma:)

Cate's admiring the fish Daddy caught. Wow! That's almost as big as she is. If I know Lindsay and Rick, they'll have a fishing pole in Cate's hand before you know it.

Lovin' life at the lake.

What a fun place to visit. When it gets a little warmer, we'll dip her toes in the water.

Just chillin' at camp.
For those of you unfamiliar with Maine localisms, a cottage in Maine is called a camp. Cate made her first visit up to Gramma and Grandpa's camp and had a great time.

June 16: Cate is 5 months old!

Five months old today.
Having fun with Gramma.

We're having so much fun visiting Cate in Maine. She's developing quite a little personality and is turning into a happy baby with lots of laughs, smiles, and chatter:)

Happy Father'sDay

Cate is dressed in her gift to her daddy. Her onesie says "Daddy's Little Caddy":)
Grandpa also gets a hug for Father's Day:)

Week 21

It's finally gotten hot in Maine and our Cate is dressed for summer:)
That heat can tucker a girl out.

Cate's latest accomplishments

First, before we go on to the new achievements, Lindsay and Cate are standing on the road in front of the retirement property Jay and I bought outside of Bath. Someday, Cate, you'll be able to run through the woods to Gramma's.

And here's our smiley girl, fresh from her bath:)

Cate is much happier at dinner time now that she can be right up there at the table in her new chair. Wouldn't want to miss anything.

After sleeping in her car seat since she was a week old (yes, the pediatrician actually recommended it), Cate has finally graduated to her crib. Now isn't that more comfy? :)
She's such a strong little thing; she's already trying to stand up. If you hold her hands, she can support her own weight briefly. Check out those long toes. Yep, she's got Sprague in her.
Lindsay put Cate in her new exersaucer for the first time. Something different to catch her attention. Looks like her dog Zoe is also interested.
As you can see, she is still a little small for it.
And, though not recorded in a photo, she also rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time this week. Now that she can go both directions, look out!

Wow...Week 20 has been a busy one for Cate.
