She likes lights (overhead lights, TV screens, anything). For example, right now she's quiet because she's turned toward the TV. D2: Mighty Ducks is on!
Katie knows when we try to "fake her out" and sway instead of walk or wiggle the stroller instead of move her around in it. She cries when we try to get away with being still.
Katie has her cranky time. It's usually from around 4pm til around 10pm. During this time, she's inconsolable... with a few exceptions. Katie always loves to eat, and the sound of the vacuum cleaner seems to have magical powers.
The dogs try to help when she's upset. Bodhi will run over to her and try to lick away her tears. For a dog that doesn't socially lick, it's pretty neat that she tries to clean-up this way. Bondra and Wally like to check her out, and definitely run over to her when she's upset. They're usually such good dogs (except when Wally dug a hole under the fence and Bondra ate my sandwich today-- but that's another story).
Katie loves her "dance off, pants off" as we figured out Thanksgiving weekend. If she's cranky, and hasn't just eaten, we can lay her down on her back and unzip/button her sleep&play outfit so her legs are exposed. She loves kicking her legs around!
My mommy lesson of the week is to be careful of abs workouts. I use this muscle group a great deal with her, especially going from sitting to standing sans hands. Hardcore abs workout + baby = more ow than before kids.
Here are to recent videos of Katie:
