Day #30 (Tue., Feb. 2, 2010) – Groundhog Day
Welcome little Katie to your first “Groundhog Day”. I just learned that Punxsutawney Phil emerged to see his shadow and this means we are due for another 6 weeks of winter. German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2, winter will last another six weeks (if no shadow is seen then spring is supposed to come early). Judging from all the snow and ice outside I think the little groundhog is right.
It’s raining outside today, but the ice is still here. It will be real nasty if it happens to freeze. Take a lot at the picture to the left. I’m going to work from home today.
I tried to put the blue onsie with the lion on little Katie this morning, but she was not be able to extend her legs. Our daughter is getting bigger by the day. It seems that she really started to grow in the last couple of days.
A friend came over to see little Katie today. Sometimes you have a hard time quieting little Katie down…this was not one of those times. She slept through most of the visit. She’s got a big night ahead of her of crying and keeping her parents up.
Little Katie likes to play the game I have affectionately coined “The Flying Chipmunk”. I basically cradle her in my hands and rock her vertically up and down in the sky. It sure does quiet her down and stop her from crying. Maybe she is asking herself “What in the world was that”?
