Kaley and I watched the Cozumel trip DVD today. During the underwater shots she kept demanding to see a puffer fish or sea horse. I had fun trying to explain why there wasn't one. After a while she changed her mind and said "where is the pout-pout fish!"
Kaley talks to Connor all the time as I drive them around in the truck. Since he faces backward and she forward they can look at each other directly. Yesterday on the way to Connor's 4 month check-up I heard Kaley saying "Hi Connor!! Are you smiling at Kaley? There's Mommy Connor, she's driving truck. Gramma's on phone Connor, say hi. No Connor don't do that, stop Connor, here's your passie. Look Connor there cars, there trucks. Going round corner, whaaoooo Connor hold on.
In the evening she ate a cookie and told me "Mommy, cookie stuck in teeth, brush teeth Mommy, get clean".
It is especially cute when she gets scared and tries to comfort herself by saying "it's ok, it's ok, don't be fraid, Jesus take care of Kaley. In her prayers at night she typically says "Jesus thanks Connor, food, Daddy, Mommy, all videos, angels and all childrens". I must admit that it freaks me out a bit how much she loves her videos. I trust that God understands.
Connor is progressing, although, I was jumping the gun a bit on my estimations of his weight. He is now 16lb's 2 oz and 25.25 inches long. He falls along the 75th % for weight and the 50th % for the other measures. He tolerated his shots well and hardly cried at all. His MD was impressed with Connor's head control and friendly nature.
oh...i can't wait for helena to talk to baby sebastian (that's his name). he's not due til january 21st. i hope she loves him as much as kaley loves connor!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your blog Shelly. What seems somewhat mundane is still newsworthy, if for only the fact that six months from you will be thinking back and being amazed at all the changes in your children.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Don't you love how kids love to narrate every little thing they see, think, hear? I love it - most of the time. =) I loved reading about her prayers. Maddox says the most hilarious prayers at mealtimes and bedtime where Chad and I have been known to laugh out loud on accident. It's so great knowing how these little people think.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI see that your BIL and SIL have moved out this way. So I don't know if this means we might have more opportunity to see you or less?? :) But we really should get together. I'm hoping to spend a lot more time outside as soon as the weather warms up. I feel like we've been couped up for the better part of five years now!! :) Always pregnant and lethargic or toting around a newborn! But not this summer!!
