Little Madonna, photo by Harold Davis.

When Katie Rose gets sleepy, she gets very quiet and very still, as in this photo.

Last week, Katie Rose had a nasty virus with a high fever. She kept her mom up literally for two entire nights. But she’s feeling better now.

Katie Rose clearly loves the idea of food. She reaches for any food item remotely near her. But she doesn’t have the physical skills she needs yet to swallow or hold onto anything long. Obviously, this is a child who gets the idea, and she lets you know her frustration in no uncertain terms. Appearances can be deceptive: Katie Rose is often the opposite of quiet. It’s amazing that such a small package can make such loud noises.

Watch out world, Katie Rose is coming!
