Buckets and Birdies
Co-Pilots for Life: Greta and Mary Katharine

I failed to mention in the previous post that Greta weighs 21.4 pounds. Yes, that is 3 times her birth weight. BOOM.
Went to the doctor, and Greta's runny nose and horrid cough are just a cold. Whew. My goal is to get to at least 1 year old without antibiotics.
Greta's first "sick" doctor appointment today. :( My little Button has a horrible cough and runny nose. (Sound the sad music...........)

AND she peed through two sets of pajamas last night.

Awesome.

Poor Greta has a runny nose and a nasty cough. I believe one of suitors, Oliver, passed the magic to her. Boo-hoo. Hopefully tomorrow will make for a happier Greta.

This is what I'm missing this weekend. My little Button getting ready to go for a hike with her Grammy and Dadda. (miss her.....)
My first weekend, alone, in my house, without Greta or Dave. Just me and the Beans. I miss the smell of urine filled diapers and pterodactyl like noises streaming from the TV room. Only 24 more hours.........

(Actually, I plan on catching up with my many sewing projects and smut television viewing. It would be nice to have a little person accompany me.)

I was able to capture this magical moment between Papa and Button. He comes home late in the evening, usually before her last feeding. I'm trying to have him spend as much time with her at the end of the night, knowing I get the entire day with her. I am ultimately trying to avoid the "Mommy only" phase---she's done quite well up to this point. She also has not exhibited any "stranger danger." I hope this continues.

Dave and Greta will be heading up to Ft Wayne this weekend as I am hosting the next Wine Club tonight. Yep, 22 ladies in sweatpants. Should make for an interesting night. Oh, I should also mention that Greta is Napping. In her crib. Unassisted. Yep. Yesterday, she napped for 3 hours! Whoo hoo!

(Please note in the picture the ears---Greta has Dave's ears, as well as his head shape, chin, and baby soft spikes.)
