I forgot to post this photo of one of the cows that Katy loved from the hospital. This photo doesn't do her justice. She had ballet shoes and sparkling tights pulled up over her udders. She was fantastic!!
This is the week of play dates. After a bit of a drought, we will have three by the end of this week. On Tuesday we had my friend McKenzie over with her daughters, Lily & Maggie. Katy calls them "Little & Maggie" and she adores them. They played for almost three hours with no problems and McKenzie fussed over Mr. Allen until he finally drifted off to sleep. When the girls were getting into their car to go home, Katy climbed up into a car seat and screamed when I had to pull her from the car. I guess that's the sign of a successful play date.

Yesterday we went over to Joy's house and played with Ava, or as Katy calls her, Awa. The two girls played chase and Katy dropped Baby Jaguar long enough to adopt one of Ava's stuffed puppy dogs. Allen scoured the floor for their dropped Cheerios. Then Joy's hubby called (he works with Peter) and we all agreed to meet up at Casa Ole for lunch - yum! Katy and Ava shared 'tias that were fresh and steaming (tortillas) and Allen teethed on sugar packets. The girls held hands to and from the restaurant and it was SOOOO cute! Where was my camera? At home. They each picked a colored balloon and we tied Katy's green one to Baby Jaguar's neck to keep it from floating away.

I will try to post how the one tomorrow goes. We're having a friend from down the street over, and she has an almost two year old named Gracie. Allen is in hog heaven with all these people to fuss over him. And when the kids are playing with him, he just can't stop smiling and laughing! Maybe I will remember to snap some pics this time. I did take a photo of him sitting up from earlier in the week when he learned to go from laying down to sitting up. It was a huge moment for Mr. Allen!!

Is she keeping the glasses on her face? or does she just not like to wear them at all?

It depends on her mood. She took them off when we were playing out in the back yard yesterday and I looked for them for almost an hour. Peter must be livin' right because he came home from work and found them in 30 seconds!
