Our Week: Rainy Days and Katie's First Pet


Ms. Katie is kinda obsessed with birds.  She loves watching the birds at the birdfeeder and at the petshops.  She knows how to say bird in sign language and is constantly signing bird and pointing...pointing outside to the bird on the birdfeeder, pointing to the chickens on the mantel, pointing to the teeny tiny bird in a book.  The other day she kept pointing at our camera and signing bird and I had no clue what she was meaning until I looked at the camera and saw that there's a photograph of a bird as the screensaver.  The screensaver is only on about 2 seconds but somehow she saw that there was a bird there.  So.....enough with the ramblings, in short we got baby girl some birds!  We decided on a pair of zebra finches.  They're small, quiet and easy to take care of.  And Katie LOVES them!  They're very active and she has a lot of fun watching them hop all over.



She tries to hug and kiss the birds lol!


Katie got to play with stickers this week.  She has a lot of fun putting them on the page and rearranging them until they're just the way she wants them.


It was rainy all week but we did manage to make it outside one day.  Our tulips finally bloomed and Katie was fascinated with them.  


We're working on making "discovery bottles".  These are just clear bottles filled with different items.  She's made a seashell one and we're working on making ones of every color.  Here's her white discovery bottle filled with q-tips, fake flowers, rolled up pieces of paper and bits of yarn.



Silly girl is becoming a master at facial expressions.  She loves to make faces and see people's reactions to those faces.  Here are a few that have been popular with her lately....

Her "cheese" face when I ask her to say cheese for the camera

her "angry eyes" 


this is a new one she's come up with this week...have no clue what to call it 


her "Daddy's so funny" face 



and finally her "I'm trying to smile but really want down" face.

We're getting our puppy on wednesday so we should have lots of pictures of her and Katie getting to know each other.  Here's the lastest pic sent by the breeder.
