Camry (since she's #1 in my eyes): She's 5 months old now. I know, crazy, right? My friend Liz just had a baby, and I swear Cam could never have been that small, but I know she was. She was actually smaller. She's about 14 lbs now. She laughs and smiles. She's a sleep champion. I'm going to regret putting this on here because she'll decide to prove me wrong, so I'm not boasting. For the past 3 nights, she's slept nearly 12 hours straight, from 7 to either 6 or 6:30. It's awesome! You realize that if I would go to bed at 9 or 10, I'd be getting 8 hours! But, I'm a loser, and don't usually get in bed until 11 or 12 (partly because I have to take showers at night, because she won't let me take them in the morning when K isn't here). She's trying to sit up by herself. She's very successful on laps, but on the floor, her legs get in the way and she tips. She's so good at reaching out to take things from you (and immediately put into her mouth). She likes touching (read: scratching) our faces. She loves the cats, touchings, yanking, and watching them as often as possible. She gets that from her Mummy! :) She has hilariously fat thighs, arms, and cheeks, perfect smiles, and gorgeous eyes! I'm sure every parents looks at their kid and is positive that theirs is the cutest in existence, but I know that for sure mine really is and I say it multiple times a day. She can now roll both directions, which is helpful, because for a while she could only roll from front to back and she is not a fan of laying that way for any real period of time. She loves music. Most of all, she loves the band One Direction. We've tested this. She will be screaming in the car, and if I put them on and turn it up a bit, she immediately quiets down. Every. Time. I'm okay with it. I like them, too.
Kenny (he's also #1): Not a ton has happened, I guess. He's hilarious and super sweet, as usual. He's ready to move "home". He loves and dotes on Camry. He loves his truck. He's excited about Summer, except the heat. He's beautiful, amazing, and just plain awesome! He and I are going to start running (hopefully within the next week if we can), because we signed up for a 5k for November and we want to be prepared. We need to be healthy anyway (his doctor actually told him to start exercising for his health) to be just happier, and to feel better about ourselves. Also, we want to be good examples to our children and exercise is actually pretty darn important. So, goal: Be able to run that 5k and keep up with our health and be happier!
Me (I'm #1 because I'm just awesome): I'm a stay-at-home mom. I'm okay with that phrase. I am also a home-maker. I spend all day making sure Camry sleeps and eats, has clean diapers, is entertained, and safe. She is so much happier when she has a routine (thank goodness, because me too!). I keep the cats out of trouble. I watch "tv" and movies. I clean, do laundry, dishes, cook dinner (K and I switch out), and craft. At the moment I'm in the middle of a blanket (crochet) for my sister, and a rope table for our new screen room. I also got my wisdom teeth out last Tuesday (1 week ago). I have been proving to myself that I have a pretty darn high pain tolerance. I only took 1 lortab after they released me (it wouldn't let me keep food down, so to me, it didn't make sense to keep taking it, pain or not). After that I took Tylenol whenever I felt like I might need it. Now, the only pain I've got is from the fact that my mouth doesn't open very wide and they had to stretch it way out and so my muscles and the joints hurt. Also, I have a temporary crown (cap, whatever) in my mouth that hurts pretty darn badly! I can't chew on that side at all because any pressure makes the tooth ache for hours. I'm supposed to be getting it replaced with permanent one soon (like in the next 2 weeks), but I haven't heard anything about it. I'm going to definitely mention that chewing is pretty darn important and if they don't fix it correctly, I'm going to be super darn mad!
So here's some pictures, I guess:
Loved reading your post about you, Kenny, and Camry. I apogogize for not calling you about having your wisdom teeth out, but Kenny kept in touch with us at the hospital. I'm feeling better with my little pneumonia today. Love you!
