Busy Week

Katie has had quite the busy week! She has been on numerous excursions around town with me. You could say, at this point, she is probably more popular than I am! We have been to Jonny Gannaway's baptism, Wal-Mart, Mommy and Me, and FS for fluffyburgers. We also went to the Hilton and Joe's for lunch this week. Of course, grandma Becky and grandpa Leon love showing her off when we all eat lunch together. My parents refuse to put her down, even to eat!

Katie also had some special visitors yesterday. Greg's aunt Jane came to visit, along with grandma Terri. They had a great time holding Katie and talking to her - she loved every minute of the attention they heaped on her! They were such good guests that I rewarded them with some strawberry shortcake that I made myself. Well, okay, my mom helped me. Obviously, I don't cook well, so if I am serving food to others, it's best I have some help.

Later on yesterday evening, we had our neighbors, the Hartman's, over. They have been wonderful to us ever since we moved to the neighborhood last summer. We grilled fluffyburgers and watched the NBA finals while they were here. They are so great that they didn't even mind when Katie got a little fussy around 8 and cried until they left. They have successfully raised two girls, so I suppose they are used to crying girls! Their daughter, Kara, came over after dinner and started making fun of my BabyBjorn I carry Katie around in. She put it on and paraded around the house with Piglet in it. We were able to snap a quick picture to torture her with, so here it is.

Katie also has made the adjustment to taking naps in her crib, which breaks my heart. She loves the colors of her room - Greg and I did a great job picking them out! - and falls asleep pretty easily when she is in there. It makes me happy she is starting the transition and she looks so cute when she is all sprawled out in there!
