High spirits undeterred by calamity

In a scene typical these days, Katie was kicking up her heels last night only to meet disaster. She was buzzing around the house in only her diaper, due to a rather messy dinner of mashed bananas and jarred peas. She took her position at her favorite spot, the back sliding screen door, and when Eric opened the dishwasher, she turned around quickly and stepped out like she was going to walk over to him. Instead, she ended up falling forward, face first and busting her lip open- again.

At this rate, she'll never walk by herself. Unlike Saturday when she took a header on her car seat, however, she jumped right back into the game and continued whizzing around the house.
