Football Training

It's football season for everyone at our house. Katie is practicing a few new moves daddy taught her.

"Go long, we got to beat the Utes!"

"It is always important to catch the ball with your hands Katie! Do not trap the ball against your body."

"Who is open, who is open...they are coming in fast!"

"Always remember your mouthpiece and secure the ball tight by tucking it under your arm Katie." And remember the key to any BYU victory is 1) do not turn the ball over. 2) Throw it to the tight ends and running backs. 3)find the ball on defense and be physical!

The Wheelbarrow

This is her new way of moving around. We call it "wheelbarrowing". She plants her face into the ground and pushes with straightened legs. It may not seem like it, but she does actually move herself forward and sometimes in a circle. A lot of times we will find her doing this in her bed when she isn't quite tired enough to take a nap. We will hear her start to cry when her head is smashed up against one of the sides of the crib and she can't go anywhere.

Toys

One of Katie's new favorite things is to pull toys out of a basket. She pulls the basket towards her and starts pulling out her favorites.


Another new favorite is the whisk. She'll be whipping up cheesecakes in no time.
