Cate the helper

Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt sent Cate a new outfit. Of course she loved the skirt because she could twirl around in it.

Cate has turned into quite the little helper. Any time I am doing something around the house like dishes or vacuuming, she wants to help. It is so sweet of her. Here is a picture of Cate washing the dishes in the sink

Here is Cate putting away the dishes out of the dishwasher

Raspberry jam is one of my favorite things to make and to eat. I made it with my Mom growing up and yesterday I had Cate help me make a batch.

Here is a picture of the jam all done

Ashton is still doing great. He loves to bounce around in his exersaucer. Also he is now able to sit all on his own. He loves to sit on the floor and play with his toys.

This is the bassinet that Eric used as a baby and that Cate slept in. We had to get a picture of Ashton in it because he has completely grown out of it and is sleeping in his own room now.

Here is a picture of Cate in the bassinet when she was about 4 months old
