Kate the Great is A-OK


Kate is growing so fast! She has learned to open ANYTHING including a small aspirin bottle we put rice in for a shaker. It's great that she can but dangerous too. Perhaps ASPIRIN bottles are not the best thing to use as shakers. We were just discussing earlier today that we should cover the bottle with something so she doesn't get used to look of a medicine bottle (duh) in case she ran into a real one somewhere but she beat us to it! I can't even open aspirin bottles. She works at everything to get it open. She is putting things "in" other things a lot too. In-out, in-out.
She keeps putting her face in her bath water to test to see "what happens". Normally pretty benign but tonight was the night. She decided to see what REALLY happens and so unlike the words of a past president, she DID inhale. What a mess! Choked herself half silly.
She can say meow, quack, Dada, Mama, box, ee-i-eei-oh and of course, no. (often in a scream)
She has finally learned to lift my shirt up to access her um, nursey and gets SO mad if she cannot manipulate my shirt. When she finally does, she throws herself, mouth wide open against the breast. It cracks Daddy and the kids up.
I am so glad the kids have been able to witness breastfeeding in the wide open. It has taken the "taboo" out of it for them and it will always seem natural to them! They won't have to get used to it on their own the first time they have to try it, they'll know all about it!
Even my oldest who is bizarrely modest, gets mad at me now if I say "No nursing now, Kate."
"Give it to her Mom", she says, "Poor thing" and all that.
As you can see, I have finally mastered adding a picture! Look out now!
