It has been fun to watch Katie experiencing new things as she ventures outside in the changing seasons. She learned to walk when it was winter time, and it was funny to see her standing nervously in the snow, hesitant to make a wrong move and fall.
Then there's grass. She was pretty wary of that stuff too, unsure whether she liked the feeling of it against her hands. I think she's gotten used to it now, but it's funny how natural it seems to walk on the grass in bare feet, when really it is vastly different from the world of carpet, lino and wood that she's used to.
Finally, there was a day nice enough in June to pull the cover off the sandbox and let Katie experience the feeling of sand between her toes. Judging by the photo evidence, she didn't like it very much. Rather than playing with the sand, it was something she wanted to avoid. However, it's difficult to avoid something when you are sitting in it.

Later that same day, R captured some video of Katie laughing as Scott was playing with her in the kitchen. Scott understood that he could make her laugh by touching her face, but it appears that he misunderstood how hard he should "touch" her. I alternate between grinning and cringing when I watch this, wanting to tell the video "be gentle!"
They are slowly, slowly learning to play together.
