Kate has enjoyed Turtle Magazine for a few years now. Is it me, or does she look way old here?

Abby worked out some aggression on Kate's doll this morning. It was as if she was defending her territory.

Kate had the unique opportunity to try out this bungee-tramp contraption at Copper Mountain. As the second photo shows, backflips were no problem for the young acrobat.

No space is beyond the girl: the tighter and more off-limits, the better.

Abby is quite the cruiser these days. She's sidestepping from one piece of furniture to the next with ease.

Recently, Abby has been intrigued by Kate's stove/oven and cooking gear, pulling the whole lot on top of herself on more than one occasion.

Abby's latest must-have toy: a red plastic ball. Surely, it can't be this easy.

making music, sort of

Abby occasionally, and of course by accident, would sit on the song buttons. She was very excited when this happened.
