Family Happenings
Well, looks like Brian posted a bit of an update, so I'll try to keep this one short! We had fun at Crab Fest, and yes, I really enjoyed my crab! The kids are all doing well, and growing like crazy still. Kasi is almost as tall as I am, which she takes great joy in announcing every chance she gets. I took her in this last week and got her hair permed. It came out looking really cute with a nice body wave to it. She's been spending as much time with Carolyn as possible before we move.
Kenny goes back to the orthodontist for a checkup on Friday. His teeth are really straightening quite well, so I am encouraged that the money was well spent. Meanwhile, he seems to think that his summer vacation should be spent with his eyes glued to the TV screen watching Cartoon Network all day. I told him to enjoy it today because tomorrow I'm having the cable shut off! We'll switch to the basic cable modem deal to keep the high speed internet, but since we are leaving soon and I have so much to do in the meantime, I don't think we need the distraction of TV. Of course that means he will likely switch his attention to the Playstation (wonder how soon I could get away with packing it??) or the computer (not a chance of packing it until the last minute!) so I still will have the battle to get him to do anything around the house.
Kasi is more than willing to help out around the house, especially if she thinks she can weasel some kind of reward out of it! Most of the time she wins out and I do treat her to something she wants if she has been working hard.
Chip went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup last week. I can't believe he's that old already! Next thing I know, I'll be sending him off to college!! He weighs 13 lbs 11 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long. We are thankful that he is such a healthy baby. He has now decided that he is big enough to form opinions when it comes to his food. Most things he really likes, or at least tolerates, but when it comes to certain foods (peas, for example) he makes his opinion quite clear. It's amazing how much of a mess a small spoonful of peas can make when spit back at you! Today I tried to give him some baby food spaghetti, and he made it quite plain that he didn't like it either. He wrinkled his face up, spit the spaghetti back out and gagged himself.... I guess we won't be feeding him that again anytime soon!! I do think we are in trouble, however. He has suddenly in the last 2 days decided that he really likes to be on his tummy. Before we could hardly get him to roll over at all, now I can't keep him off of the tummy. Then last night I was watching him as he was playing on the floor. He rolled onto his tummy, tucked his feet up underneath of himself and pushed off, and was scooting himself forward! HELP!!! Of course, he thought he was pretty hot stuff too! I was kind of hoping that he would wait to start crawling until after we get moved and settled! Maybe put it off until he's 9 or 10?
Anyway, not much else new here. I spent the day yesterday giving the Enviro Steamer a good workout. I LOVE IT!! I think I should become their "unofficial spokesman"! or at least do infomercials for them! LOL It is making the cleaning much easier as it gets into the cracks and crevices and makes less scrubbing for me!
Well, take care, everybody. We send our love and best wishes to all.
