Friday Cate: That’s my bear!

Friday, March 30th, 2007

I missed posting a picture of Cate last week, since we had our hands full with Cate’s first illness. (Not an ear infection, surprisingly enough!) She’s better now, and back to grabbing everything in sight.

This is her bear!

Friday Cate: Sleeping like a baby

Friday, March 16th, 2007

I took this picture a day or two ago. Cate’s napping in the carseat after her ride home from the day care.

She’s “sleeping like a baby”. But I wonder … where, exactly, does the phrase “sleeping like a baby” come from? The phrase as most people use it refers to sleeping peacefully.

But babies? If our baby is typical (Google search suggests that she is), then “sleeping like a baby” is taking short naps. Between the naps?

[Awakened Cate]

Between naps, Cate wants to see everything. Lately, she’s also wanted to grab everything and put it into her mouth. The world must taste great!

Oh, and if you’d like a phrase that really does mean “sleeping peacefully”, might I suggest: “Sleeping like a cat”?

You’re … not going to take me out of the bath? Are you?

Bald and balder.

Friday Cate: Grab life by the horns

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Here’s Cate in her new walker. (It’s probably best called a “stander” until Cate’s tall enough for her feet to reach the floor.)

It’s got rotating toys, electric lights and sounds, tray-forward design …

and it’s got a hemi!

Friday Cate: It’s cold outside!

You can’t take me out there! It’s cold!

Friday Cate: You like-a the chair?

Friday Cate: Classic Pooh

Friday, January 26th, 2007

I wonder what Cate’s thinking right about now.

I wonder if it’s something like this.

You know, this is a very nice bib. But my hands taste a whole lot better.

Friday Cate: Zombaby!

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Woe to anyone who wanders into our house at night. They would face …

…the Zombaby!

She hungers … for BRAINS!

Braaains! Braaaaaains!

Friday Cate: Just hanging out

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Here’s something for our family members and friends who visit the blog for baby pictures.

Cate’s just hanging out in her chair, with her paci and her Pooh bear by her side.
