Today you are 23 weeks old, Katy!

This has been a busy week for you, Katy! We started the week out by taking a quick, surprise plane ride up to Philly for Auntie Hope's Baby Shower for Cousin Coyle (separate blog post). You got to meet a lot of great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins, second cousins and Great-Grandma Petruzzi. Everybody wanted to hold you and squeeze you!

You continue to get over your cold and you were kind enough to share with both Daddy AND Mommy. I guess this is the first of many germs we'll be sharing as a family :-/. You do NOT like the bulb syringe when we have to use it on your nose. We fear you might have nightmares about it because you wail and wail and wail when we use it on you.

We've noticed that you've started to stick your tongue out in concentration. Whenever you get very focused on something, you like to stick out your tongue as if it will help you think better. It's very cute, but then again, we think YOU are pretty cute!

Since you don't quite have the scooting down and you can't quite crawl, you've learned to "roll" to your destination. It's quite amusing to watch you roll around on the floor like a little ball until you get to whatever toy, place, person you were intending.

Aunt Megan and Uncle Jason came for a visit, this week, and you got to meet them for the very first time. They both had you giggling and smiling. For some reason, you really seemed to like when Uncle Jason talked with a Russian accent- that really got to giggling (and then hiccuping)!

Naps at King's Keep have been spotty, at best. You don't seem to sleep very well there- there is too much going on and you are a go-go girl wanting to be part of the action. You've been eating well, though.

You slept through the night twice this week. You also had several less-than-perfect nights where we had to pull you in with us just to get some rest.

We added potatoes to the menu, this week and you seemed to like them mixed with other veggies.

We are gearing up for another busy week as your Grandparents Jones will be here to take care of you! You'll be one spoiled little girly, Katy!
