Jane, I mean, Cinderella

Anastasia and Dunbar hit the Christmas Gift jackpot this year. Jane received the Cinderella Wedding Dress. Jane had to immediately put it on-and she looked beautiful in it-and she knew it! Actually, I think she has worn it some at least every day since Christmas. All her imaginative play consists of going to a ball or a party and that she is a princess. She certainly looks the part! She will even walk around daintily- slightly lifting her skirt. Its pretty cute!

Kelly's Kids Spring/Summer 2013

Here is a sneak peak at the Spring/Summer 2013 Catalog featuring Jane: https://www.securedcontent.net/kellyskids/preview/s13.html

New Solid Foods

Walker is just dying to eat real food. He doesn't seem interested in the pureed food that I am offering, although he still eats it. He has discovered the Puff and can't get enough of them. I offered puffs and mum mums to him on Friday, December 7 and he went through 2 cans by Sunday. Yesterday (Thursday, December 13) I offered peas to him and he was shoveling them in his mouth. Both hands-it is the cutest thing. Today I offered steamed bites of pears and he liked them too, but he is all over the puffs and peas. So...Puffs, Peas and Pears...3 favorite P's -other than his P (Philip).

Walker: 7 Months

Time flies when you're having fun! And Walker is so much fun!!



Walker is crawling up a storm, pulling up and today he showed me he
was developing his pincer grasp. He picked up small pieces of rice
crackers and put them in his mouth! I was amazed. It just makes me
wonder how long he has been wanting to eat something other than pureed
food. He is so alert and always zones in on my eating something that I
joke that he is ready for what I am eating...well, he almost is! This
is a game changer....

Walker pulled up for the first time on December 3 in the kitchen. He
was crawling around the kitchen floor while Hyde and I cooked dinner.
Hyde quickly told me to drop what I was doing to come look at Walker
and there he was-standing, holding on to the pot under the kitchen
table. We were amazed to say the least! He stood so long that Hyde was
able to get out his camera and take a picture of him. Again, this is
a game changer....









As I decorate for Christmas, I am cleaning up and cleaning out
anything that Walker could put in his mouth or pull up on that could
fall over. Ugh...there is a lot!

He is the happiest little boy! Always smiling and laughing even if he
is tired. His hair is growing in-still blonde. His eyes now have brown
specks in the middle. Who knows what they will turn out to be.

Attic Fun

Just when we thought were were finished with painters, carpenters, etc-this happens!

Bettye Jane, Jane, Maggie and I went up to the attic. The attic is huge and there is only a small area that is not covered for walking. Maggie apparently wanted to explore over there and dropped through the ceiling! The rafters caught her so she did not fall through. Rose was downstairs and was needless to say freaked out! Call all the workers back to 505.

Walker Update

Walker has his 6 month checkup on Wednesday even though he is almost 7 months.  I'll have more stats then but I thought I'd give you an update:

-The stomach bug was 24 hours and he has not thrown up since 7 last night in the car.(He threw up 4 times and 3 were in the car) i slept with him last night and got no sleep! Every move he made woke me thinking he was going to throw up. I gave him Pedialite until 6 am. I figured i would nap when he did but he only slept 40 minutes total until 5 and then he slept 30 minutes. He would not sleep unless he is against me and only wanted to be held so we had a ton of snuggle time today:)

-In applying Orajel today, I felt a tooth. He has cut his bottom left tooth!

-I don't know an official weight but I would guess 21 pounds. He is wearing 12 month clothing and some 18 month clothes.

-His hair is growing in and it is blonde.

-He still has a bad rash around his chin and neck. I figured it was from drool but I'm now seeing dry patches all over so I'll ask the pediatrician.

-He is crawling, but is not an official crawler yet. He can get to an object a few feet away but it takes a while and a few flops onto his belly, but he moves a hand then a leg. He likes to move between table top and down dog then he rests on his right hip and right hand. I have pictures to demonstrate:
What a cutie! When he smiles, his eyes light up and my heart melts.
