Bad Bloggy Mama

It's been a while since an update - sorry Mom. xoxo. We have a lot of little things keeping us very busy. Mostly fun and helpful projects like fundraising for K's music school, doing a project for our church (really for Uncle Geoff), helping a few people with resumes, and getting the word out about a special 5k event. We're also moving forward on fixing the shower tile situation. And working a lot. And, most importantly, taking care of a wonderfully busy 2 1/2 year old. : ) So, due to a lack of coherent thinking, here are some random KK photos with miscellaneous updates.

KK is now sitting at the table for meals. The highchair was so convenient, but a natural transition occurred and now it's table time. Which frees up the highchair for other babies....namely ADDY! (Do you see her? She looks so little next to monster girl!) The other day K was asking and pleading for her "tomato" and pointing at a kitchen cabinet. She had been attached to a plastic tomato that was part of her fake food set, but when I found it for her she still wasn't satisfied. "Tomato! Tomato! Tomaatooooh!" It took me awhile to figure out what she wanted...Play-doh! I had stored a container of it in the cabinet before I moved it to her craft bin. She finally led me to the craft bin and the lightbulb went off. Now we play with "tomato" while mommy cooks. : )

Back to Addy! On Sunday I got a whole evening of Addy time, just for me! I was nice and shared a few minutes with Daddy and KK - who was very eager to help. It's obvious that Addy is a beautiful baby, but she is also the sweetest, calmest, happiest-go-lucky baby ever. Seriously. I adored having her here for the evening and can't wait to see her again! So what is it with kids not eating the edges of sandwiches? Even if I cut the crust off, K still just eats the middle. Check this out...someone has gone from being a total "scribbler" to being very particular about coloring inside the lines! (Sort of.) We still need to work on color choices. heh. KK is in big girl undie$ all day now, with no potty accidents! The 'other function' is 50/50, but we'll get there. She is also usually dry after her nap, but overnight is an issue - we still wake up with 20 pound pu11-ups. But, since she is still in her crib and not very good with getting her clothes on or off, we can't expect anything else. I'm sure she'll be in a big girl bed soon, but she doesn't try to get out of the crib yet so I'm taking advantage of it. She did ask for a pillow, so now she sleeps with a little pillow most of the time. What a big girl she is getting to be!

Our playgroup had a movie day yesterday and we tried watching Nem0 on a big screen. It lasted about 10 minutes before playing a keyboard and ring-around-the-rosie became much more entertaining. A random mama note: I went to a chiropractor on Monday (first time in at least 20 years, compliments of my acupuncturist) and it was amazing! Even the chiropractor was shocked at how much noise these old bones made as he put them back where they belong! I can actually move like a human again. It's nice.

I haven't been able to comment on others' blogs very much, I'm sorry. I am visiting though, and will be back to commenting soon!
