Katie shows off two new skills in this video clip. #1: picking up her sippy cup and taking a swig - all by her ownself. #2: waving madly at Mommy to feed her another bite of delicious rice cereal and cantaloupe.

Note the avocado that is everywhere. That's a very common state around the Mencken household. In fact, she seems to like having a piece in one of her fists at all times. When she's not busy spreading it around her hair, of course.

Note also the corner over her right shoulder. Daddy is making great strides on our built-in office area. He's torn it completely out, reframed it, put up the drywall, re-wired it and primed it. Next step, building the desktop & cabinet and painting it. Whew!
