My Mom reported: I babysat for Giada this afternoon while Amy and Brad got their Xmas tree.  She was a little fussy, but I got to feed her a bottle for the second time.  She really does pretty well with it.  She is beginning to stare at things and people, and it seems like she is trying to figure out who I am.  Seeing me two days in a row seemed to make a difference. The weather is really nasty, cold and rainy.  Only the pansies and the (I forget what you call them) are still alive.  Even my beautiful camellias succumbed.  It is even colder in Missouri according to the paper, but, of course, not as cold as St. Paul and Kate says they don’t have any snow.
