Another week over...

And Katie has again made several big changes this week. She is now doing push-ups on blankets, almost rolling over (stupid arm gets in the way) and grinning more than ever. She is so close to giggling too. She grins so big and you can just feel all this joyous energy looking for some way to get out. For now she just lets it out with a "ahhhh" sound. I have also discovered that no matter how stressed out or upset I am, I can't hold onto it when she grins at me. Kevin has discovered this fact as well and now when I start getting short with him, he hides behind the baby.

Another big change...she is finally willing to take an occasional bottle even if I'm around!!! She still won't take formula, but I don't mind pumping. I can have a little bit of time to myself without worrying about being interuppted to feed a screaming baby. And Kevin loves being able to help a little more.

TJ is also doing awesome with her. He hasn't tried to hit her in over 2 weeks and he hasn't thrown anything at her at all this week. He is always wanting to kiss her and snuggle her, and she's doing better about taking it. He was crying because he hit his head this week and when I asked what would make hime fell better, he said "A baby". I laid Katie down in between us and within a minute, he was calm. He loves to help me burp her (by patting her bum) and thinks it's the funniest thing ever when she burps. If you can't tell, I love my job.



But as much as I love it, I must say that I totally get why my mom always looked forward to the end of Summer break. It'll be nice to have my mornings back.

Kev is still studying for his MCSE Certification and will be taking the second test at the end of this month. Keep him in your prayers. We really need him to get the raise that this Cert will bring.
