3-months Old!

Kate is three months old today. Well, that is what I think. It has been 12-weeks since the day she was born. However, my mother says she is another month older on the 1st of each month because she was born on February 1st. So which is the correct way? Do any of you know?

Kate is totally a lovebug and super cuddly. Her new nicknames are milkmouth or mrs. cranky crankerton. She smiles all the time and loves to stand on your lap and look around at everything. In fact, she gets angry if you try to hold her where she can't hold her head up and look around. Sounds are getting more diverse and sometimes we hear "ahhhs" and squeals. I am pretty sure she will be walking and talking in a few more weeks.

Cat and baby torture

At my house if you are any kind of cute you are subject to abuse. In addition to incessant squishing, cute things will also be dressed up, posed and/or put with other cute things only to further enhance said cuteness. You get an extra cuteness factor if the cute thing you are torturing is clearly highly irritated with the whole ordeal.


Some of you may be familiar with my previous work, "cat with backpack" or "baby dressed as poodle". Recently, Brett has thought it would be a great cute enhancer to create a cat saddle so little babies could ride around on them. While physically this really isn't possible you have to admit it does conjure up a whole lot of cute images.


Anyway, we decided to test the cuteness aspect of babies riding cats and were able to get a nice research photo which I have posted below. I like to call this "baby riding fat cat bareback". We have a skinny cat too but due to his more slender physique he is much more agile and harder to catch and hold down. If I am able to capture the elusive "baby riding skinny/stupid cat" I will be sure to post it immediately.
