While I'm in the kitchen cooking, my little "helper" likes to organize the potholder drawer. She apparently needed a front-row seat to do the job properly.

Chris and Krista head out for a night at the symphony...without the kids! =) You can get a good look at my growing tummy here. At five-and-a-half months, I'm up three pounds, but getting bigger by the day. 

Flashing her devilish little grin. 

Going for a ride on the Pooh-mobile. 

Smiley, happy girl. Look at how much her hair is growing! I actually had to trim her bangs a couple weeks ago. It's grown out nicely, considering that she was squirming in her Dad's lap during the entire haircut. 

Looking for a toy at the bottom of her basket, she figured it would be easier to just crawl in. Eventually, all the toys were on the ground and only Katie remained in the basket. She made a mess, but boy, was it fun! 

Katie has recently started "demanding" that Mr. Pig travel to other parts of the house with her. He used to be a crib pig. Now, he eats lunch with her some days. She keeps a death grip on him and is happy to eat, but only if she can hold Mr. Pig, too. 

Tyler and his buddy Nick played a game of cornhole. 

Another bubble shot. 

After drying off and getting dressed, Katie and Daddy blew bubbles together. 

"Look!" 

"Oooooooh!" The water was pretty chilly, despite the hot day. We had to set it up in the shade so that she wouldn't get burned in the midday sun. 

Daddy shows Katie how it works. 

On Easter afternoon, we went over to Scott's house for a potluck with the "gang". Katie cooled off in her new Dora the Explorer sprinkler. It was a HOT day! 

Tyler holds up some books from his Easter basket from Grama and Grampa Beutel. 

Looking at the rest of her Easter basket goodies (jammies and plastic forks and spoons). 

Katie reads her new Easter book. 

"Whatcha' doin' there, Daddy??" 

After noticing that Dad was taking photos, she had to check out the action. 

Katie takes her first Easter present out of her basket--a new "Disney Princess" cup with a straw (to help us transition off the bottle....we hope!)
