2010-03-08 - Katie And The Ducks

I’m dragging today.  Late night last night…

Another stroll around the neighborhood for little Katie today.  Little Katie got a chance to see the ducks (see photo on the right).  Spring is in the air.  I think the cold days and nights of winter are past us now.

We went to visit a friend this evening.  This is the first time that little Katie has been to her house.  Little Katie really likes her…and I think remembers her (she gave her a foot massage the last time she saw her).  She just got a package from France, and promptly presented little Katie with a nice dress, and the teddy bear that she used to play with as a child.  How nice and thoughtful…it’s nice to have good friends.

Little Katie held a rattle in her hands this evening, but she is not yet aware of the fact that it will make a noise if she jiggles it.  That will come in time.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
————————————
1)  Little Katie can hold a rattle, but not utilize it yet.

2010-02-07 - Flower Rattle

We mentioned in a previous post that little Katie’s favorite toy is the adjustable lamp next to our bed.  Another toy she likes is the “flower rattle” that was attached to the swing.  Here’s a picture on the right.

It has been a rough night and morning.  Little Katie has not been sleeping soundly and as a result neither have my wife or I.

6:11pm and little Katie is sleeping.  I know how much she loves football so I’m torn between whether to wake her up in time for the opening kickoff of the Super Bowl or not.  The kickoff is at 6:30…I’ll let her sleep a little longer…

People ask me how I know little Katie likes football.  Sometimes when it is on television she screams at the top of her lungs…cheering her team on as football fans all know too  well!  While some people may say that she is screaming for her next meal, I know better.

10:00pm and little Katie is screaming like mad.  I’m not sure if this is because the Super Bowl just ended, or she is a Colts fan?  Guess I will ask her when she gets a bit older.  While many adults will choose to celebrate the New Orleans Saint’s Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts by going out drinking, little Katie will have “the usual” and then straight to bed (hopefully).

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY

1)  Tonight was one of the first nights in which it was hard to quiet little Katie down.  It’s usually she needs feeding, or burping, or changing, but tonight was a bit of a mystery.  Perhaps she is just over tired…
