Day #373 (Tue., Jan. 11, 2011) – Katie’s Wave
9:45am – Freezing rain fell during the night so the office has a delayed opening. I’m on the bed watching the weather on television and Katie is in the crib next to me looking out the window.
I turned to the Animal Planet station and there were some doggies on it. Katie said “pup”…short for “puppy” I guess.
11am – I was in my LazyBoy and pointed at the television. Katie thought I was waving to her and started to wave back. This is the first time she has waved so clearly.
Take a look at the photo to the right. I had a roll of toilet paper on the table next to my lazyboy. Notice the past tense…”had”. Our little chipmunk managed to grab a hold of it without us noticing it. The photo shows the end result.
11:00pm – Katie is still up and running. She was playing with me on the bed and I wrestled with her a bit. This seems to always tire her out. Her head started to droop and it took her longer to raise it. Good sign. Time for mommy to put her to bed.
