Our recent happenings

I know, I know, I'm sad I haven't blogged in a while too!! Really, this is your I need something please face. You cry/whimper to warn me that you're ready to eat, be changed, sleep, getting bored, and if I respond in a timely manner, or at least tell you I hear you this is as bad as it gets. Now, if I don't respond in a timely manner this face turns bright red and you cry!! But that's healthy for you too! :)
Unfortunately, I think you're starting to teeth. You are DROOLING up a storm, EVERYTHING goes straight to your mouth, and you have been a bit more fussy than usual. You also have a new cry that I call your pain cry. But I can never tell if you're giving it to me for your teeth or your tummy, because you clentch your entire boy when you give me this awful cry, and it is for sure awful!! Typically after 30 min of your "pain cry" it results in you getting tylenol and then you're much better!

So, it's been a while since I've blogged because we have just been enjoying each other! It is summer, but I am teaching summer school - so you still go to Miss Jodi's Monday through Thursday for about 3 hours while I teach. And then we go back home! or to Bud's office because we are in full swing of planning for camp this summer! Hopefully you'll get used to his office soon so that you'll nap while we're there!


Here are some recent highlights: This would be you discovering your pacifier! You now know it's there so you take it out of yor mouth all the time! Then you look at it, try to put it back in your mouth and you chew on it, whichever way you an get it in there! This was exciting at first that you're learning and now can "understand" your pacifier. BUT, you need to learn the correct way to get it back in your mouth. When you are fussy on the way to Garnett, I'll reach back and put your pacifier in your mouth, this calms you for 60 seconds, then you pull it out, play with it, drop it, then cry again!! It is a not fun cycle!!

I'm sure you'll know Vickie and Jenna, who I work with, but this was our second year going to the Legends to shop! And you got to go with us! Last year on our trip I told them I was pregnant! This year, we had a stroller and you!! :) This is you and Vickie playing! :) You did very good while we were out! You just aren't good about sleeping while we're out because there's so much to see you don't want to sleep - and we need to work on sleeping in the stroller. You're just not that used to it yet. This was your first trip where you had formula too. You did pretty good, I gave you one bottle of it and you seemed to do okay with it.

The next day, Friday, we went with Jenna to look at wedding locations! She is getting married next year! You again, did a good job. Lawrence isn't made very well for strollers so I carried you most of the day. I definetly got my workout! But we had lots of fun! :)

So, that day before we left for Lawrence, I thought I heard a tiny kitty meowin from our trashcan area. When we got home your daddy searched, and sure enough there was a little kitty! It was very cute, and very friendly, but we just couldn't keep it. God answered our prayers though and our neighbor boys took it to join their kittens. So, your daddy named the kitty Oliver, and Oliver was your first pet, you owned him for like 12 hours! I'm not sure if we'll ever have pets. Maybe fish....someday! :)

The other day I called your Mimi and your cousin Bekkah was there. So I talked to her for a little bit on the phone. Here was our conversation:

Bekkah "Hello Jenna"

me "Hello Bekkah, how are you?"

Bekkah "Where baby Ana?"

me "Baby Ana is eating."

Then I hear Bekkah talking to Mimi and then Mimi cracking up.

Mimi "did you hear what she said?"

Me "no"

Mimi "Bekkah said, Baby Ana eating Jenna's Booby!"

Oh, your silly cousin. What are we going to do with her? :)

Well, Little girl, as always you're growing like crazy and I love you very very much!

Love, Mommy
