I'll be back...

No, I'm not channeling Arnold, I'm just apologizing for my absence and letting you know that i'll get my mom to get some pictures up on the ole 'net soon so I'll be back.

In the meantime, in case you're wondering, "What's up with baby Katie Ray?", you better check that because I'm clearly not a baby anymore. More like a big girl every day.

Does a baby eat cereal all by herself?
I don't think so.
Now I spend my mornings checking up on the news of the day in Dora-ville or Elmo-land.
Want to borrow my book?See you soon.
xoxo {peace out!}
Katie Ray

Double-post Saturday

Afternoon activities today included:

Taking a looong nap (dancing with friends at music class = three hour nap ahead!) This was nice for mama and daddy, they would be happy to admit.

Playing dress up (Not pictured is the pair of size 6 months pants I insisted on trying on -successfully. Then I settled on this terry cloth dress. My mom is not generally a fan of the idea of Disney princesses, but I received this dress as a hand-me-down and guess who now loves the princesses.)

Working on my real estate portfolio (notice that the dress-up dress stayed on)
Then taking care of my babies really took a lot of time. You know how it is for busy mamas like me! First I had to give them baths. Luckily my kitchen has a generously-sized sink just right for a little lamb.
All clean! Let's go night night now.Those two monkeys really didn't want to go to sleep. I had to rock them for ages...
Finally I got them to bed

So, at last we grown-ups could relax a little and enjoy some Mexican take-out, some singing, some good times.

And then eventually, at long, long last, I got ready for bed.
Don't tell anyone, but Mama let me stay up until 9:30 tonight! I'm still awake right now, singing in my bedroom.

Weekends with my peeps

Weekends mean time with my momma and daddy. Hooray!!!

Pony tales

Mama snuck a ponytail into my hair tonight. Normally I am a no barrette, no doodads kind of girl.
But mama just can't stop trying to get me to go for the pony! I prefer ponies of a different variety: My Pretty Ponies. See below. I inherited a stable's worth and love to tote them around. I am all girl these days (not on camera: I used a red crayola marker to paint on nail polish tonight!!)
Mama made a chickpea and curry dish for dinner. Guess who wasn't interested.
So I convinced my daddy to make me something a little more my style: peanut butter toast.
Also right up my alley: mac n cheese. I request this at least twice a week! Seen here - Monday dinner of shells 'n' cheese and banana slices. So healthy!

I'm keeping on my toes

Here's my new ballet outfit, I'm starting my dance class soon if my mom can start getting us out the door in time. 8:30am is very early for a saturday. Why don't they have baby classes at 4:30pm, mamma wants to know!
So far, we're mostly dancing at the home barre. A few more shots from home life:
Giving baby a bath!
Managing my properties here in tub-ville!
Running around before bedtime.
And kissing daddy good night.
It's officially midnight in Boston so I am also wishing my Nammy a very happy birthday! I love you, Namma!
