Monday

We were going up to the school to go on a walk. I strapped her in her seat and leaned over to ask if she was ready. This is what I saw. A relaxed little girl with one arm behind her head just hanging out.

Sunday

At church these two babies were sporting their neon colors. Their dads were sporting what's been dubbed "The Dad Plaid". Kate is almost 6 months. Baby Jo-Jo is almost 4 months- I think.

Saturday

Saturday was an "interesting" day. We were without power for most of the day, which really amps the stress levels up in the house. It's hot, pumping is a challenge, and it's dark in some of the rooms. Josh worked on our generator and was able to get power to the house. He also hooked up a sprayer in the bathroom which will help with washing out cloth diapers. He's my hero!

Kate and I prepared for a party that afternoon. She took naps and played until it was time to go to the party. I'm going to write about this on the other blog but here's a shot of Kate- the Party Animal.

Friday

Friday morning we went to a "Mum's Group". This is a group of moms that meet together for a playgroup for their kids and an opportunity for some heart connecting with other adults. Kate played on the floor and hung out in some different laps until she reached the "grouchy" stage. At this stage I put her in her carseat with the intention of leaving, but she fell asleep shortly after this! So, I stayed a little later. :)

Thursday

A friend recommended a CD called "Sing Over Me". It's a compilation of various Christian artists singing worship songs and lullabies. I played it on repeat and within the first three songs Kate was sleeping... ok, I'll be honest, we BOTH were sleeping! She slept hard for a couple hours. She fell into a mouth open, drool leaking out of the side of her mouth, small snorts every once in a while, and sweet little squeaks coming out of her mouth kind of sleep. I couldn't catch the zzz's on video, but here's an open mouth shot.

Wednesday

Ignore the pj bottoms that are a bit too big. She's such a great sleeper! She sleeps through huge rain storms that fall on our roof. She sleeps through power outages where everything gets strangely quiet. She's learning to sleep through the Call to Prayer at 4 AM. She still doesn't nap in her bed during the day. She naps in the butterfly chair. I have no idea what we're going to do when she's too big for that chair!

Tuesday

Today Kate took a trip to the library to check out some books for the first time. I brought her down to look at books, but she didn't last there very long! Kate makes a friend wherever she goes. The next time I saw her she was lying on her tummy on the countertop with the librarians right there with her. She enjoys looking at the books that we checked out from the library.
