My Little Hiker

David and I took Katie walking on the horse trail for exercise. (Thanks for the cute Minnie outfit Auntie Mary.) The horse trail has some pretty big hills, so I thought maybe I should bring Katie's car, so she could enjoy being outside with us while we walked. When we got there, I decided to just let her walk around and have fun. She did good! She went up two really big hills. I was surprised. David and I made her hold our hands going down hill though, because I didn't want her to tumble and roll down lol. After going up the two hills, Katie must have gotten tired, because she made David and I carry her, so we turned around before we got too far out and would have to carry her for a long time to get back to the car. Besides, it was getting dark since it was 5, so it was getting hard to see too far in front of us. I think she had a good time though, and we want to take her more.


After we got home, Katie kept pulling at her ear and whining. I asked her if she wanted me to clean it, and I tried to clean it with a Q-Tip and when I finished she desperately asked for "more." She kept sticking her finger in her ear. I thought...maybe she has an ear ache, or ear infection, lets take her to the doctor tomorrow. After 10 more minutes of crying, I decided we needed to go right away, just in case. So David and I took her to Kaiser to make sure nothing was wrong. She was fine, I'm so glad. We didn't have to spend too much time waiting to be seen or anything. And while we were waiting, Katie was entertaining herself by walking around with me and looking at other babies. There was a table and chairs for kids there that she just HAD to sit on lol. She's a cute girl. She found the chalkboard they had and started drawing and erasing away. She is getting so much older, and it shows almost everyday, watching her do new things. I love it :)
