Moving and grooving

by chuckofish

While the rest of us have been adjusting to the inevitable sadness of the holidays concluding, Katie has been seriously moving and grooving. She now sits up unassisted for long periods of time, rolls back and forth across the floor (often in pursuit of toys), and wiggles like mad on her tummy. All of this is supremely adorable.

Now that she can topple her own toy bin, I’ve added “baby proof the bar cart” to my to-do list.
Larry Bird doesn’t do as much ball-handling in one night as you do in an hour!

In other news, she has added bananas and broccoli to her dietary repertoire.

Clearly, she wasn’t sure how that would go, but she’s been devouring the bright green purée for several days in a row now, so she must take after her father in her taste for cruciferous vegetables. More power to you, honey!

Finally, Katie’s biggest development — just in time for us to return to work — is that she consolidated her naps! She has a morning nap and an afternoon nap and a nice long evening wake window with her mom and dad after they close their laptops. It’s really lovely, and I truly do appreciate every day that I get to stay home with her, nutball that she can be.
