This is what Katie wants every time she sees the camera. "Cheese!" she will say. And pose for a picture. Then, of course, she wants to see herself on the camera. She is such a cutie.
No more "Binky" for Katie since the last of February. Her "cousin" Ryot (Clarissa's dog) accidentally got her pacifier and chewed off the nipple. We had been considering whether we should take her off it now anyways, and this was a good excuse. She didn't seem to notice it was missing the first night or two, but then she was pretty ornery about going to bed for a couple of days. She asked for it once or twice, and I just told her I didn't have it anymore and it was broken. And that was that. Amazingly, she didn't seem to have any problems after the first week, which wasn't even bad in the first place.
Katie in the tub
Katie has been pretty off and on about baths. She liked them for a while, then didn't like them, and does like them now. I think that is because my sister gave me the hint of putting food coloring in the water (doesn't stain anything) to make it interesting. Also, Ryan bought her some "growing dinosaurs". They are little sponges in pill-sized capsules that dissolve in water and a dinosaur "magically appears". She seems to like them.
Well, since starting this post, we have gone to the doctor to get an ultrasound of the baby. She is a girl! We are very excited and trying to come up with some names. Katie has been cute about the baby. I don't think she understands at all, but she will pat my tummy and say "Baby". She also leans over and puts her head against my belly. It will be fun to see how Katie reacts to the baby after she gets here.
