We’ve been home a full week with Karys. Here’s a short list of ten random things that we’ve learned about her so far:

1. She is ticklish on her neck and down her back. I love to gooch her and listen to her giggle before the squeals of aggravation start.
2. From all early indications, she’s going to be a prissy girl. She can’t stand for the tiniest little spot of anything to be on a finger.
3. She does not like for the cats to come around the dinner table when we’re eating.
4. She does not have a constipation problem. In fact, she’s quite regular.
5. She will eat - or at least try - any food that you put in front of her.
6. The girl can sleep. She has slept through the night from day one.
7. She can put her own shoes on and on the correct feet.
8. She loves to have her teeth brushed.
9. She seems to favor her right hand.
10. She’s a tattletale.
