“Katie is a big girl now.”

Here I am, quoting from our daycare app’s “Teacher Notes” again. It’s only because they’re fascinating.

Sometimes I feel a little absurd following my sister’s posts, which include thoughtful literature and music references and display her myriad sewing skills, with these (albeit darling) baby posts. My deep and thoughtful updates include things like this: we clearly aren’t ready for pigtails yet, but we do manage to match our hair bows to our socks.

Well, what can I say. I really do enjoy getting Katie dressed every day, checking the daycare app for a rundown of her activities, and then taking her home for our nightly play and bath time. My new “mommy” lifestyle may not be deep, but my mother has assured me that it isn’t shallow, either.

Without further ado…

“It isn’t my Subaru Forester, but I’ll take it.”
“Push me already!”
“On the one hand, pears are delicious…”

On Friday, we head to the pediatrician for a belated 12-month visit. Lots of shots, but also hopefully some interesting stats — perhaps a literal confirmation that “Katie is a big girl now!”
