Here I am all decked out in GREEN for the holiday (and holding Grandma Sylliaasen's cell phone :). I went to my first parade with the Callahan's - the St. Patty's day parade downtown. I didn't know whether to be excited or afraid of the loud bag piper bands. I got tired toward the end, so I took a nap on mommy's shoulder.
Awhile ago mommy went out and bought what she thought was a nice baby gate. She brought it home and discovered it was not wide enough to go acoss the openening of the stairs. So she returned it. Mommy and daddy got the measurements, then went out and bought another nice gate that was wide enough. Mommy was reading the directions as daddy was taking it out of the box and putting it together and mommy read "WARNING. Do NOT use this gate at the top of stairs. Take this warning very seriously." So they boxed the 2nd gate up and returned it too. This is the 3rd baby gate that they bought, and it took mommy and daddy hours to put it together and get it installed. Then daddy stained and varnished it. Who knew a baby gate could create such a circus.
I've been sick off and on over the last several weeks, and daddy has been "the baby whisperer". He has gotten me to sleep sometimes when even mommy can't.
Oops. The flash woke daddy up, but not me.
