She spent the afternoon in her crib mesmerized by the bubbles and lights of her aquarium crib toy. I couldn't help but notice her big 'ol milk gut hangin' out there. Soooo adorable!

Day 90: Feb 23 - An angel with a milk belly!
It's so adorable that Katie's milk comas have been replaced by milk smiles. She used to just zonk out after a feeding, but now she's so happy she just smiles away, usually with bits of milk dripping off her chin.

Day 89: Feb 22 - She's definitely our child!!!
It appears we're grooming another TV addict. She was completely mesmerized by it while she was snuggling with Daddy. Even when he faced her away from the TV, she turned around so that she could see it.
Later on she channeled her "Inner Special Agent Jethro Leroy Gibbs" from the TV show NCIS and parted her hair in the middle. We couldn't let the fun end there, so we tried on some hats on her while she sat in her Bumbo chair for the first time. Oh yes, we do like to use our child as amusement sometimes. Is that so wrong? ;-)

Day 88: Feb 21 - The lastest in little girl fashion
The neighbors were once again very generous and brought over more clothes. We wasted no time checking the items out and discovering our newest favorite item...pink oriental pattern fur-lined boots! I also got a kick out of one of the tags that said, "Keep away from fire". Umm, yeah, I kinda already had the goal of keeping my child away from open flames, but thanks for reminding me.
In the afternoon, Daddy and Katie enjoy kicking around on her Ocean Wonders playmat. Is he the best Daddy ever or what?!?!

Day 87: Feb 20 - A second date
Katie and I met up with her boyfriend Jack and his mom Ashley for another mall walking expedition. She did fairly well through the walk, but at the end, she became STARVING, so we camped out in some lounge chairs and had a snack. From there, we stopped by Circuit City to check out their Going out of Business sales. We debated and debated a portable hard drive, but ultimately decided against it. The sale just wasn't good enough yet. Katie started to get fussy there too, but it appears plopping her in front of a TV has a very calming effect.
Day 86: Feb 19 - Mom's got a "meeting"
Katie and I were quite tired from all of our entertaining this week and had planned on snuggling and napping, but I got a call yesterday afternoon with some awesome news that a position I was interested in had opened up again after a hiring freeze and they wanted to interview me today. I scurried to get my resume updated and printed and figure out if any of my interview suits still fit. It was the first time in a long time that I ventured to put on makeup AND do my hair.
The interview went really well, and it got me excited to go back to work, but then I started thinking about what Katie was going to do while I was at work, and it didn't include snuggling with me. Hmmm, this had better be an amazing job to entice me to leave my sweet baby for over 40 hours a week.
At the end of the day, I realized I hadn't taken her daily picture yet, and not wanting to disturb her, this is as good as I could get. ;-)
Ironically, today was also my first day back from maternity leave, and I was told that tomorrow will be my last day with the company. Not cool that they couldn't help me find a non-travel position, but I'm sure everything will work out in the end.

Day 85: Feb 18 - Weeeeeelcome to Moe's
We couldn't send Miss Julie back home without introducing her to the yummy world of Moe's Southwest Grill. Of course we were able to get her addicted to their delectible queso dip. Mission accomplished.
Katie was such a good hostess that she waited until Miss Julie was on her plane back to Boston before blowing out her diaper. Straight into the tub she went!

Day 84: Feb 17 - Checkin' out Durham
Katie is just sooooo adorable in the mornings. She'll lay there and coo and kick around and smile so much. It almost makes you forget that you have to get up through the night to feed her and that every night at bedtime is "Katie Fussy Time".
Once we got all cleaned up and ready to go, we drove up to Durham. Our first stop was grabbing some pizza at Mellow Mushroom, my favorite pizza shop. We then walked around the Tobacco District looking at the water features and water tower. Across the street, we checked out the Durham Bulls stadium.
From there, it was off to a beautiful stroll through Duke Gardens. While it's still a little early for too much to be in bloom, it was still gorgeous there. Since we were in the area, our final stop was at Duke Chapel. It's amazing how much squeals of delight can echo in a large cathedral. Katie was great at testing it out though.
