Day #68 (Fri., Mar. 12, 2010) – Bibs and Rattle

I noticed this morning that little Katie’s grip is getting much stronger. My wife said that we don’t really have any infant rattles, so we will need to pick one up the next time we are out.

Little Katie likes it when she is on her back and I push her legs up and down…much like if she was riding a bike. My wife asked me to burp her, but when no burp came, we ended up “doing the bicycle”.

My wife had to run some errands today, so she picked up some baby supplies while she was out. The photo on the right shows a couple of bibs and a rattle. The rattle is especially unique. It makes a “rattling sound” when it is shaken (duh…hence the name “rattle), but it also has a series of blinking lights as well.

I showed little Katie the rattle this evening and she is fascinated with it. I think it is the lights that she likes the most. Having said that, if there are a pair of eyes anywhere in the vicinity, she will gravitate towards them.

11pm – We are going for a drive this evening as little Katie is not calming down. A drive in the car seems to help her.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
————————————
1) Little Katie loves her rattle that “lights up”…
2) Drives in a car help little Katie calm down.
