Last week we took Katherine to a photo place to have pictures taken for her baptism. We had our first family pictures taken too. Stephen got all dressed up in his suit and I put on a dress (sans spit up) and we actually made it through the pictures prior to some spit up arriving. (Stephen ended up getting it all down the front of him as we were looking and selecting pictures.) Ahhh, parenthood!!
Katherine is doing well. We had our first trip to the ER last week for a fever. I know – new parents. Her fever was 100.4 or higher for more than an hour. So we called the pediatrician’s on-call nurse and they told us to go to the ER. By the time we got there and into triage it was 99.4. Then when we went back to the ER room it was 98.6. We aren’t sure what caused the fever. All of the blood work and tests they did so far came back negative. They were doing a blood culture and said that if anything came back “off” we would be contacted. The culture was being looked at yesterday and we didn’t get a call. I plan to call the pediatrician on Tuesday to see if they heard anything back on it. Dr Hewitt, our pediatrician, said no news is good news – so that’s what we’re going with now. She’s not acting usual or seemingly different either so she seems to be fine. Dr Hewitt said it could have been a viral thing.
Katherine's also found a new facination... Her feet! We laugh saying that she found a new body part. She grabs at her toes and feet and is trying to get them into her mouth. She also has a favorite toy -- Leap!! He sings the alphabet. "Hi I'm Leap, Let's sing the alphabet song..." She stares at him with sheer facination. She also likes her (Leap) worm that sings songs about colors, numbers and famous composers. I'm trying to figure out whether it's the voices that the Leap toys have that facinate her or the colors. Those two things seem to be her favorites. Leap by far being the favorite of even those two.
Stephen is doing well. He and Katherine have their Daddy, daughter time each night. They head to her room after I give her a bath to eat her bedtime bottle, read some of her Golden’s Children’s Bible and sing some songs. (They’re in the Old Testament part.) Stephen said he’s learning a lot while reading to her. It seems there was a whole lot of smiting going on. He gets Katherine when she’s sweet smelling and sleepy. I get her when she first wakes up and she’s all smiles and happiness. All in all, we’ve got our routine going pretty well. Katherine’s even sleeping from about 9:30pm until around 7am. Pretty amazing for a less than 3 month old. (We think the sleep gene is mine… I seem to have a talent in that regard.) :P
This weekend we painted the dining room too. It looks great. We did two colors. One above the chair rail and another below. No stripes this time though!! (Katherine's room has stripes below the chair rail.) We did get a little creative though. The top is sponge painted on. We only had one sponge (shoot) so Stephen did all of the sponge painting. He did a fantastic job!!!! Now of course the work continues with moving everything back into the dining room.
We're hoping this week will be a little less eventful than last week was!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures. Now that we have pictures of Katherine in her dress we can get to sending Baptism thank you cards. Thanks to everyone for the patience!! :) I promise we didn't forget.
