You were almost lucky. I was just starting to upload pics and it told me I exceeded my data quota. Dang it. Now I need to start deleting stuff again, so some things may be gone. I will start by weeding out photos in 04 and 05, but if that doesn't cut it, 04 might just have to go. EDIT - Lucky you are. It didn't take me very long, so there's about 5 new pics in there. Only up to about Katie's second week of life, but it's something.

While I'm in here, I'll do the other updating. Bri finished her skating class on the weekend. She skates stiff legged, but fairly rapidly. She is to move up to level 2 next time. But she wants to do ballet again in the middle. I had a quick parent teacher interview with her teacher, and Bri is doing just fine. She does enrichment activities every day for one week every month. The enrichment has to do with taking more in depth looks at certain books, and some writing. Bri's writing is getting much better, but she still hates to sound stuff out.

We all went to the Lighting of the Lights (a park where they light up all the trees) and the Santa Claus Parade this weekend. The lights kind of sucked, I think we'll skip that next year. But the parade was a big hit for the kids. Plus, it's path is just up the street.

Katie is huge. In fact, I sent her to the doctor this weekend because she's been extra fussy and I thought it might be an ear infection (it's not) and the doctor said perhaps she's eating too much. Heh. She is the fatest baby we've had yet. Her hair is still there and still brunette. Her eyes are a hazely colour. Ok, here's her book thingy.

SHOULD be able to:
*on stomach, lift head 45 degrees - I have no idea. I am a bad mommy and don't do tummy time with Katie. The carpet is icky, the kids are always running around, and she has excellent head control while sitting, so whatever.
*follow an obect in an arc past the midline - I think so.

PROBABLY be able to:
*laugh out loud - yes, but it's like pulling teeth. Except for Erica. Kid thinks she looks funny.
*on stomach, lift head 90 degrees - ?
*bring both hands together - and stuffs a blanket in her mouth.
*smile spontaneously - yes.
*follow an object from one side of her face to the other - I have no idea.

POSSIBLY be able to:
*hold head steady when upright - yup. She loves to sit.
*on stomach raise chest - I don't know, but probably not.

May EVEN be able to:
*bear some weight on legs - yup.
*reach for an object - mmm blankets.
*keep head level with body when pulled to sitting - I'm pretty sure.
*turn in the direction of a voice - yup.
*say some vowel-consonant combo - rarely. Once she said Mama. It was hilarious.

Things she can't do involve rolling over and holding toys. She only wants to hold her blankets.
