Well, three days after her first birthday, Cate took her first steps! We are excited (and scared) to have a walker. For the most part, Cate will now walk at home, but she is very cautious about walking in public and still often prefers to be carried. One of her favorite places to go right now is the zoo. She has really started to see the animals and particularly likes the sea lions and the giraffes.

Cate also recently had her first bubble bath...I can't say that this was a great success as she was more interested in eating the bubbles than playing with them. Maybe we'll try this again when she is a little older!
Cate has also learned to throw Ford's ball. This is a constant source of annoyance to Ford, as Cate now tries to steal his ball all the time. Also, Ford doesn't think that Cate throws it far enough, so he usually pouts until someone else picks it up and throws it again. However, Cate is not discouraged by this and keeps trying!
