I've been meaning to post an update on our cat's adjustment to life with baby, but after last week I knew it was time. That's because Matt finally took a long, good look at the cat. He doesn't quite know what she is, but he now seems aware of her existence and unable to ignore her. From talking to other people with cats, around four months seems to be the time babies start paying attention to feline members of the family. I hope the cat appreciates this time period: the baby is aware of her (probably resulting in extra pets from us as we point her out) but can't get to her.
At Christmas, trying to figure out what all the commotion in the rocker seat is about
Around New Year's, each in their own corner of the loveseat
In January, trying find room on my lap
Denied! The bassinet is already occupied
A few weeks ago, hoping to share Jon's lap
Last week, watching from a safe distance
This weekend, thinking about taking a closer look
What do you mean, "is not a cat toy!"? I'm playing with it; therefore it's a cat toy! (To be honest, she's getting more mileage out of the pacifier than the baby...)
