New firsts for Katy...

Katy has been one active little girl lately. She has had all sorts of firsts over the last few weeks. We need to be better at capturing some of them. She now sits in a highchair at restaurants, and is very happy doing so. Mommy and Katy also joined Las Madres... a local mommy and baby group that has clubs all over the Bay Area. We joined the Santa Clara '06 group, as Santa Clara is close to downtown San Jose, and the '06 chapter did not yet have a group for downtown babies born in 2006. They have lots of weekly events. Katy and I have been to several so far... Tuesday mornings at Starbucks in Santana Row (upscale outdoor shopping center) and Thursday mornings laptime at the Santa Clara library. Katy sat in awe two weeks ago at her 1st laptime in a big room filled with babies under 1yr all watching the librarian do fun songs, rhymes, and read stories. The Las Madres moms stayed afterwards and just chatted for an hour or so. I will have to make a point to take my camera and capture Katy at some of these outings in the upcoming weeks, as I have been a BAD MOMMY and not remembered to do so yet! However, here are some 1sts we have captured in recent weeks...
First family library outing...

Wearing her new cool sunglasses (she has a pink pair too!)

Katy's 1st picnic at the park (with her 2yr old friend Judah)

First time trying prunes... Katy loved 'em!

As I said, Benji and I will try to make sure we capture some more of Katy in new environments and doing new things, but I at least wanted to give you a small sample!
