Happy Birthday, Katydid!

Back on October 27th, this blog turned a year old. I was half aware of it, but I was out of town and didn't have time to look up some of the stuff I wanted to put on here to commemorate it. And tonight, I'm all depressed because the Buckeyes just lost their chance at the championship, so I might as well focus on something else. (But in all seriousness, no one expected the Bucks to be number 1 going into this season, so we had a good run. Now we gotta go on the road to play...*shudder*...Michigan.)


Here are some stats about Katydid's first year:

First post, October 27th, 2006:

Okay, so I see this Sonic commercial on TV, it goes something like this:
Guy: I'm gonna put something on my blog about this milkshake, I think the readers would really like to hear about it.
Wife: You mean your mom?
Guy: Yeah, she's one of the readers.
Wife: I think she's THE reader.
Guy: Well, she said she was gonna tell her neighbor about it, so....

And I'm cracking UP, and I think, you know? I think I want to start a blog. Pam and Kelsey have one for their babies, and I love checking in on them. So Mom, if you're the only reader, ENJOY!! If anyone else checks in, bonus!

So for now, I'm just gonna see if I can post a picture, but I think it will be fun to keep a journal of life with my funny little 5 month old.
