Katie is not yet the shopper that I am. She was a little overwhelmed being in a huge shopping center. The mannequins also kind of freaked her out. So, needless to say, she was attached to Travis' hip the entire time. I tried to take her for a while and she threw an all out screaming fit. She did call for me the entire time I was gone when I went to the restroom at lunchtime. And she has started calling me "mama" more often.
We ate at Pizza Hut for lunch and Katie loved it. She ate one and a half pieces of pizza, which is more than I ate today. At least now I know she can survive when we get home because pizza is a staple in our house. Travis got her to try the lemon from our drinks. I wasn't quick enough with the camera, but her face was hilarious. I haven't felt very well today. I'm not sure if I was just exhausted or if I ate something that was bad, but I took a nap and took some medicine and feel better tonight.
Trevor and Katie have really begun to form a bond. She calls for him when we are out walking, and they play in the hotel room. It took a while to settle them down last night because they were laughing and being so silly. Katie let me rock her to sleep last night and then again for her nap. She seems to know I'm the person who takes care of her because she lets me brush her teeth, change her diaper, and help her at meals. But she wants baba to carry her everywhere. She also likes playing with Marissa, Noah's sister, and was being silly with her on the bus today. Katie kept trying to put on Marissa's sun glasses and laughing.
Overall, things are getting easier. I know once we get home it will be much better. Katie has far surpassed all expectations I had. I had prepared myself for the worst and was going to be happy with anything better. She is pretty easy-going, wakes up slowly but not too grumpy, and has a bubbly personality that you just can't help but love.
