Update on the Kiddos


So, I think we have been starving M. He has been Mr. Crankypants lately and I couldn't figure out why. I've even been drugging him with Tylenol "just in case." I've considered early teething because he is drooling like crazy (he literally soaks his clothes) and chewing on his thumb like nobody's business. I've considered constipation, gas, tiredness. Practically everything but hunger. Just for fun, I checked out one of the papers our pediatrician gives us at well checks. It was for his 2 month check up (he is 3 months now). It said that formula fed babies should be getting 25-30 oz a day. I'm positive he hasn't been getting that much. He's probably been getting about 20! Poor guy. No wonder he's been chewing his thumb off!

Yesterday during bath time, H told me she wanted her hair cut like K's. Um...no. She said she wanted Grandma E to cut it like she does Daddy's. Um...no! I asked her if I could trim it for her and she agreed. What a joke! I can't cut a straight line to save my life. I pretended I knew what I was doing and tried to cut layers into it like I've seen the hairdressers do to my hair. I don't think it turned out half bad. She lost about 3 inches because I had to keep evening it, but I think it turned out cute. The picture doesn't really show the layers, but it was the best she'd let me take. Like the smile?

Poor K. Nothing to really update about him. He is cute as ever and so much fun (when he isn't throwing a tantrum). He likes to give kisses and once he gets the idea to kiss someone there is no relenting until he kisses them. Today, he chased H around the house trying to kiss her. She was screaming the whole time, but secretly I think she was really enjoying it. I ended up grabbing her and K kissed her on the leg. Apparently, he wasn't satisfied with the original kiss, though, because he insisted on kissing her leg again. I'm surprised he didn't get hurt from her kicking and twisting. As for his picture, this is the best I could do. Every time the camera is pointed at him he starts jumping around and laughing and he makes it darn near impossible to take a picture.

  2. Hey I did the layer thing with Ashlynn's hair, and I thought it turned out better than if I were to cut a straight line. So good job for trying thats all that matters, plus practice makes perfect so every 5 years when H decides to grow hair you can practice.
