Maybe the Tubes Worked
Well, it has been a beautiful week. The spring is finally here! We had a very busy weekend. Katy's grandparents came visit; she was very happy to see them and was showing off how much she could do. She was running around in circles, crawling, riding her rocking puppy, and performing acrobats. Very hyper.
The next day, we went visit friends of ours who are expecting their first baby in October. They wanted to see what it was like to have a baby around. Katy was a good model. She was in a very good mood, even when she missed her naptime. It was then we noticed she could say more. She has been saying a few words here and there, but yesterday she was able to utter at least three words that she has never used before: No way (okay, it is a phrase), Don't, Out. A lot of negative words, in case you haven't noticed.
Our host prepared mango salsa for us. Katy's mom thought it was a good idea to let Katy try some mango. At first, Katy turned her head away. Her mom persisted, and she protested, "No." But her mom really believed that Katy would enjoy the mango, she shook her head and blurted out, "No way!" It was very surprising.
They also had a nice hammock in the house, Katy's mom thought it might be a good idea to take Katy there. Katy was hesitant, so her mom sat in the hammock to show her it was safe. But she was really worried. She grabbed her mom's hand and said, "Out." She wouldn't let anyone try it.
We couldn't remember when she first said "Don't." It was probably one of those moments when we wanted her to try something. By the time we were ready to go, Katy was saying something and pointing outside. We think she said something about the car and that she wanted to go home. Yes, our friends were impressed with her and it surely made them even more excited about having a baby. Haha, wait until they get the first meltdown.
We haven't heard back from the landscaper, so we have no idea how much it will cost to redo the yard. The neighbors next door are a nice retired couple. One day when we came back from work, we noticed that they weed-wacked some of our overgrown natural plants. So here they are, old and not in great health, have to come help us, the young and healthy couple, with our yardwork. Pretty embarrassing. That might change soon.
In this picture, which was taken a few weeks ago, Katy was helping her mom prepare pork buns.
