Day #259 (Sun., Sept. 19, 2010) – 20lbs 6oz
7:15am – I’m up with the baby monitor. My wife was up feeding little Katie in the night and is exhausted. My turn for “Chipmunk Duty”. I was a bit exhausted but seem to be getting my second wind. Going to make a pot of coffee now…
8:15am – I introduced a pink marker to little Katie’s arsenal of toys to play with when she is on mom and dad’s bed. First things first…she gave it the taste test (with the cap on of course).
I took little Katie for a stroll around the lake this morning. She got to touch her first fall leaf (and rip it to shreds I might add). She was not as sociable with the acorn. I think the spiny ends of it make a less suitable playmate.
Did I mention that little Katie likes to rip paper? Check out the photo to the right.
We had a Skype session with my mother this afternoon. Little Katie seemed to recognize her and smiled and “we think” waved to her…
Little Katie weighed in at 20lbs 6oz this afternoon.
Times sure change. Back on Saturday, July 31, 2010 I wrote that little Katie had a record amount of oatmeal… 1.5 ounces. Today she ate 3.5 oz of buckwheat (and possibly more).
10:45pm and we just got back from a drive. Little Katie was fussy this evening and we tried giving her some yogurt, playing with her, and numerous attempts to put her to bed. Let’s hope that she is tired enough now to go to sleep.
10:49pm – Spoke too soon… Guess who is sitting next to me playing with her markers… My wife is making a bed for her in our room. Let’s see if that will work…
10:59pm – Didn’t work…. We’re off for Drive #2…
