Baby carrier

Little Kate seems to be growing more each day. She's got hair coming in on her head. Her sleep is getting a little tiny bit more organized. On good nights she sleeps in three-hour blocks, occasionally waking for only 10 to 20 minutes for feedings then right back to sleep. (Other times it's an hour or two, but who's keeping track?) She's more alert in the day, too.

We've discovered a trick to settle her down when she's crying, too -- a front carrier. That's something Molly never really liked. Kate loves it! She fusses sometimes for a minute or two when you put her in but then almost always falls asleep. It's like magic. We've been taking a walk around the neighborhood with Kate in the carrier every afternoon this week, which is fun for Molly, too. We tend to see her friends on the walk and bring them with us to play in our yard. Yesterday we had five kids back there, all playing nicely together.

The carrier also lets us get work done. Jim wore it for a while on Easter morning while we all worked in the garden.

She likes this one, too.

Look, isn't she getting strong? And big, too!
