Happy Easter Everyone!!
Holly had a grand time Easter egg hunting, playing with her Easter loot and being showered with attention!


Below is the video of her Easter egg hunt. See if you can hear the words Egg and Hat.

Love, Tea and Cats

Last night, prompted my my encouragement, Holly told me she loved me "uv moma".... it was the most precious thing ever spoken.... my heart melted!!!

Below are pictures of Cleocatra kneeding on Holly and Holly actually NOT attacking her and trying to kiss her..... a first. Holly does love her kitties.

Today I had Tea at the Adolphus with my Mom, Sister, and Peggy Pate. Mom took me to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely experience. Holly wasn't allowed, too young. Daddy took care of her at home. David read to Holly from TS Elliots book of practical cats, which is what the musical "CATS" is based on.... particularly they read about Rum-Tum Tugger.... my favorite cat from CATS.

Holly's Tummy & Valentine's Day

As you all know by now, Holly's had tummy troubles. We found out (via a miserable upper GI) that she has Reflux, which most children eventually grow out of. Her formula has been changed (by her new pedi.) and she has not thrown up in two and a half weeks.... that's the longest she's gone since December 19th..... woo hoo!!

We think that when you combine the Reflux with the formula and some food intolerances, as her little body learns to adjust to "table food", you have the answer to why she's been so sick and why she's doing better, now.

Also, we now know that what her other pedi thought was an eye infection is actually eye allergies. We have been given allergy eye drops to help with that.

Going back a month or so (sorry I'm so delinquent) here are some pictures from Valentine's Day.

Her Daddy gave her flowers, which she loved smelling and feeling.

Pictures of Emily

Happy Valentine's Day!!! XOXO

You can see pictures of Emily (Katie's new baby sister). Look on the left undery my blog list, you'll find "Katie, Emily, Heather and Karl - The Keatings".... click on that, then you'll see a pictre of Emily to click on that takes you to more pictures. I went to see her at the hospital yesterday. Heather and Emily are both doing amazingly well.

Holly's eye is irritatied - it's been this way for a couple of days. Her Daddy is going to take her to see doctor Hull today.

We haven't been doing much, except get ready for the floors on Monday. Thursday afternoon Marmee came to watch Holly while I worked. Yesterday, Grangie (Dawn) came to watch Holly. Holly was lovin' it!! They had loads of fun!

Emily has arrived!!

Good News! Our friend Heather (Katie's Mom) had her baby, Emily Marie at 9:17 this morning. She weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces and is 19.25 inches long. Mommy and baby are doing well. Emily is reportedly eating like a champ! Woo Hoo! We are so happy for the Keating family! I'll post a pic as soon as I have one.


In the mean time, here are a few Holly pics..... she loves to play "IN" boxes or anything that seems like one.

Holly is really into the word "NO" right now. I don't think she knows exactly what it means. She seems to say it whenever she wants to control what is happening, not when she really means NO. She has also learned to shake her head "Yes" which is coming in handy.

Daddy gave Holly a "Heart Bear" for Valentine's Day (Mommy got a dozen red roses). The bear is red and has hearts all over it, including a heart nose. Holly loves to point them out and say "hot" (which means heart). She knows what it is and loves to show it off. She made the sign for bear today..... so cute! Very rewarding when she picks up a sign.
