Kate's first trip to Chicago

On Monday afternoon, I had to head down to the PARCEL Forum (the annual conference that is put on in part by one of the magazines I am editor of) and since Kate doesn't appear to like to be away from me for an extended period of time, I had Dan take off work, and the three of us headed down there.

Silly girl, are you posing?





Here she is on Tuesday in her makeshift "cage" that Dan put together so he could check his email without worrying that she'd fall off the bed.




Her pants are clearly mint green, but people kept thinking she was a boy because they thought they were blue. Uh, ok. As Dan says, "Yeah, I always love my little boy to wear lace and flowers on his jacket!"



Dan and Kate went on a nice long walk in some nature preserve while I was doing work-related stuff, and then they came back to the hotel around 5 so I could feed her before heading out to my networking reception. Here's a couple of shots of Kate and Mama:
