Kate is a mess.

SO, Kate is a mess these days. I think she had a major growth spurt and doesn't quite know where her body is anymore, b/c she keeps falling! The first incident was Christmas morning. She made it all the way down the stairs and fell on the 2nd to last step, head first onto the tile!!! Here is the resulting bump---it came up by the time I ran to pick her up (less than 30 seconds).

We've lived here 4 months, and this was her first fall on the stairs.

The next fall occurred on New Years Day. She pushed on the gate at the top of the stairs and it fell and she surfed it allllllll the way down the stairs. No real injuries by the grace of God. Scared us to death. We called our land-lady the next day to ask if we can install a permanent gate. She is so awesome, she said yes!!

Then yesterday, Kate decided it'd be a good idea to run full-speed across the back porch. I guess her body was faster than her feet and she fell, face-first into our iron fence that goes around the edge of the porch. She skinned both knees and somehow (thank you God AGAIN) didn't break her nose, but got her face square between 2 of the posts...she has 2 pink marks on her cheeks.

Let's pray there are no more accidents in the future!!!!

This is Kate showing off her "turple (purple) computer" that Santa brought...she LOVES to check her "memail" on it!!!
