We tried until 9:45 giving her bottle, but she was not interested in the last two ounces.
Anna Kate sat happily in a little chair and watched us fix mashed potatoes and potato salad
She cooed a lot when I would sing quietly right in front of her.
She does not mind going up the staircase in the lift any more.  She used to cry every time.  Maybe she didn't like the vibration or something, but now she barely reacts.  A funny thing we thought of: Every time I took Mason up or down those stairs I counted out loud to 14 and he learned to count to 14 easily.  Anna Kate won't get that experience.

Changed poopie diaper. She drank a little more and spit up again.  We have never seen her spit up like this.  So we waited to feed her any more.
9:15a AK started chewing on her thumb, so we tried the bottle again and this time she drank well like she normally does, but she did not drink the last ounce.  Mommy put 6 ounces in bottles today because we told Kristan she still seemed hungry after finishing all of her bottles yesterday.  But today she was just not ravenous like she normally is.didn't want this first bottle.

I picked Mason up from school at 1 and he has a slight fever and a rough voice, but says he feels okay.  We kept him in the garage or in my room until Chris came to pick him up which was a few minutes ago at 3:15p.  We kept Anna Kate in the big TV room and kept Mason away from her and my parents.

Dee will take care of him if he gets sick, so he won't be over here.  Sorry, but these things happen.  We are doing our best to keep AK well.

All the pictures I have taken are on a thumb drive in a pocket of her diaper bag.  Look in Anna Kate folder.  Not great pictures, just quick snapshots.  Return thumb drive to me and I'll take those pictures off and add more next week.  This has been a rather odd week, with Nina sick and us having Mason all day and night for four days.  And Dee having surgery so she didn't help by keeping Mason two days.  Next week should be more normal and I can take better pictures... I hope.
Anna Kate is precious.  We love having her with us, watching her grow and change every day.
