Four months old!

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:32 pm by Katrina

So we have been parents for four months. This is what we have learned:

Jonathan says that it’s hard to make a PBJ sandwich holding a baby; the peanut butter doesn’t spread from the knife!

Dinner is decided not on what food we have, but rather what pots are clean. (Hmmmm….the crockpot hasn’t been used since last fall. I think it’s a caserole night.)

Spit-up has a life all of its own and goes exactly where you do not want it. Magazines, clean work shirts, futons and chairs…etc. Does anyone want to visit now??

Poo does not smell the same everytime. Just because we don’t recognize it as “Aliyah’s fragrance” does not mean that we can blame another person sitting next to us on the metro.

Update:
We went to our first crab feed and barbeque with Aliyah at Catholic University. It was put on by the graduate student association and free to it’s students! Pulled pork, bbq chicken, corn, beer and Maryland crabs encrusted with Old Bay. We actually didn’t even eat much crab. The rest of the food was so good and the tiny MD crabs are so much work.

Inscape Chamber Project is playing another great concert the first weekend in October. I am playing on a piece with small ensemble and narrator by William Walton. Check it out: http://www.inscapechambermusicproject.org/

My mom will be out again for the concert as well! We are excited about her coming to see Aliyah alert and so happily responsive!
