Welcome to BugGuide!
When submitting multiple photos of the same insect, it's a good idea to submit them all as part of the same post. (Please see Question #6 on this Help page for instructions on how to do this.) For now, I've gone ahead and linked all these images for you so that they appear as part of the same posting.

it's a katydid
Actually I think it's a False Katydid, Subfamily Phaneropterinae. Somebody on here might be able to tell you what it more precisely.

Cute:-)
I love the "headline" about keeping her son busy all day. LOL! That is so great:-) This is indeed a katydid, a male roundheaded katydid, probably Amblycorypha oblongifolia, though there are now "more" species recognized by differences in the songs.
