Last day of April. I’m going to try to leave work a bit early today. My wife has to work on her thesis and I hope to be home early to take little Katie off her hands for a while.
2010-04-30 - More Toys
My wife emailed me at work. She’s got a bit of an extension on her paper so it’s not going to be such a mad rush for the next couple of days. Good…we both need a bit of a rest.
The oil spill off the coast of New Orleans is all over the news these days. An environmental disaster is on our hands! Now that I have a child these sort of news events have a deeper meaning. What sort of a world are we going to be leaving the next generation?
When I got home from work my wife was on Skype with a friend. I took little Katie from her and we played “20 Chipmunk” for a while.
The photo to the right shows some of the toys that my mom sent for little Katie. My wife likes to take little Katie to say good night to each of the plush animals and dolls before putting her to bed at night.
My wife tells me that we need to go shopping this weekend to get more clothes for little Katie. She is growing like a weed and has outgrown most of her clothes. Once we get her some more clothes my wife won’t need to do laundry every day…which will free up some of her precious time.

We are finding just how much little Katie will relax when she hears soothing music. It used to be that she would only calm down when she was fed, but music seems to be doing the trick more and more.
2010-02-04 - Baby Clothes From Mom
This morning I turned both the sound machine on the “Pack ‘n Play” and the melody maker in the toy sheep on, and little Katie relaxed quite a bit. She was crying before I turned them on, so we are making progress.
On the right is a photo of some of the outfits we got from my mother in the package the other day. See that red outfit? Well, little Katie was wearing it today. The outfit said “3 months”, but little Katie is fitting it perfectly.
When my wife picked up little Katie this morning and said brought her to me she said “Go see daddy”. Little Katie smiled and gave out a big laugh of excitement. This is the first time she has made a sound like this. She usually just stares at you, but I guess this is another sign that she is growing up.
My wife and I both think that today was the day that little Katie was animated the most. She seemed to be wanting to talk to us, but her vocabulary is very limited to “dah” at this stage.
