Day 319: October 10 - Happy birthday, Jack

Katie crawled to her paci at Miss Gail's office. It's what you do when you're determined. Later that day, we went to Jack's birthday party, and Katie had a blast playing in the ball pit. I see this becoming a must have for Katie's upcoming party.

Day 318: October 9 - Making herself more mobile

Rest in peace, Uncle Howard!

Tonight, I was working on Katie's birthday invite on the bedroom floor, and she somehow ended up right next to me when she was originally a few feet away. She's not crawling, so she somehow navigated her way over to me.

Day 317: October 8 - Another day, another reason to snuggle

Playing with Packer and taking apart puzzles is exhausting stuff, as is evident by Katie's need to fall asleep on Daddy's chest.

Day 316: October 7 - Party preparations

After school, we headed to The Walmart to buy some birthday presents for Katie's friend Jack's upcoming birthday. She needed to make sure it passed the slobber test first though.

Day 315: October 6 - The adventures she makes for herself

Wile we ate supper, Katie scruffed around on the floor finally finding the diaper basket. It was fun for her digging out all of the [unused] diapers to get to the fingernail clippers and diaper cream. She clapped when I was picking her up from school. Too freakin' cute!!

[Editor's note: Wish my luck on my adventure to catch up on the 169 blog entries I'm deliquent with on Katie's blog! Even if it kills me, I WILL do a daily blog entry for her first year of life! ;-) ]

[Follow up Editor's note: Today is now Nov 18, 2011. Yes, I am THAT far behind on updating Katie's daily blog. I'm trying to get it all done before I have to begin again with the next baby]

Day 314: October 5 - Don't quit your day job, Ethan

Katie was busy this morning entertaining everyone. Ethan was sent upstairs to pick out her outfit. He first came down with a halter dress with a predicted forcast of 65 degrees. His mom sent him back upstairs. His second attempt was a choice of a red longsleeved onesie either with purple leggings or a pair of black shorts. He was shooed back upstairs and, with the assistance of his mother, picked out an adorable scottie dog ensemble...mainly because it was already on the hanger as a matching outfit.

Day 313: October 4 - Marble Mania

Today's adventure was heading to Marbles Museum, where everyone had fun playing and testing everything out.
