Making up for lost time

As most of you know, it's been a month since I've updated the blog. Not that I haven't been meaning to do it, but work has been hectic, been sick this week, and we had some refugee's from Ike at the house :-). Hopefully today's post makes up a little bit for lost time.

I need to train Kathy on how to blog so she can keep it going :-). For those of you that know Kathy, that's going to be quite a feat. I love the story she tells me about her freshman year of college, were she didn't know she had an email address, and didn't check it till sophomore year because she didn't know how.....and she didn't really care. Anyway, she doesn't really have any interest in being technically savvy yet somehow she ended up with an electrical engineer!? Life's strange like that :-).

Anyway, now to the fun. The battery in the camera has been dead for awhile and it won't hold a charge, but I've got some videos.

Video number 1 - Kara just learned how to use her hands. She thought it was hilarious that she could grab her shirt and pull it away from Mommy.




Video number 2 - Kara has started eating a little more than breast milk. We've been trying to get her to eat rice cereal. This is the video of the first time we tried to feed her with a spoon and you can tell she doesn't really know what to do with it, but as you'll see in video number 3, she's starting to figure it out.



And video number 3 - Kara's starting to figure out how this works. She's actually improved quite a bit since this video. She knows that when she gets in her high chair, it's time to eat. She likes trying to hold the spoon - I'm constantly hearing Kathy tell her "I'm more experienced at this than you, why don't you let me hold the spoon." This has obviously been effective, as you may have guessed. :-)
