Kensie spent this week with her grandparents, Pops and Gigi. The great thing about that is she got LOTS of walks around the neighborhood. Sometimes up to 4 walks a day! Most of the time this put her right to sleep. However, one night Chris and I tried to use this "sure fire" way to calm her down at 4am, and it failed miserably! She cried all the way around the block, surely waking up a few neighbors in the process. Just goes to show you that there is nothing routine about babies. As soon as you think you have them figured out, you find out just what little devils they can be!
Another interesting thing about Kensie is that she seems to have a special sense for when mom wants to eat a meal. Especially dinner! Every day while Pops and Gigi were in town (except the one night Chris and I got to go out alone) we had to monitor Kensie's mood and sleeping patterns for hours in order to time when dinner hit the table. The cooks would pre-prepare everything for the meal, so when the moment seemed right, the cooking could begin or a course could be served. Sometimes it worked and all four of us got to eat together, which was really nice. Sometimes we would take turns holding her around the table. And other times I reheated my meal, after bouncing Kensie through an hour of Law and Order.
