4 month Bug

 Happy 4 months to our baby Bug!

We have been out of control busy lately that I forgot to give a 4 month update on Bug.  Who really missed it, though?  I do send out LOTS of updates.  :)  

It's week three of Daddy being home with Bug and this Monday, she took her first nap for Dad.  Yup, he succeeded in putting Ella down for a nap.  This girl is so particular that not many people can do this.  Remember when Grandma came to stay with Bug while Daddy and I were at work? Well, it took Bug about a week to let Grandma put her down too.  The nap Daddy put her down for was short-lived, but he did it.  With Dad on leave, I've been getting lots of visits from Bug at work.  These make my week!  Not only do I get to come home early now because of my schedule change, but I also get a break during the day to see Bug.  It makes being back at work less of a heartache.  Here are some pics of Bug's visits to my office...
She holds conference calls...

...and sometimes uses the white board...

...visits with "Grandma Andrea"...

...and Auntie Ellen...

...and always manages to take a seat...

Dad is now gaining a much better appreciation for what it takes to take care of not just any baby, but Bug.  (Side note: When filling out the questionnaire for the day care she'll be attending in January, it asked "How would you describe your baby?"  We responded with, "Hypersensitive and particular".  What I wanted to write was, "Dramatic, but super sweet to Mommy."  :)  Needless to say, Dad's got his hands full for three more weeks!  

Bug has been talking up a storm!  Who would have guessed, knowing her inquisitive daddy and even more talkative mommy.  This girl really is our's and each month, I see more and more of Wyatt and myself in her.  Of course, the majority of the words we use to describe her (i.e. hypersensitive and particular) show that just because she doesn't look just like me, doesn't mean that she can't act EXACTLY like me. :)

We even spent some time with Ninang Angela and Ninong Louie... 

Laughs with Dad and Bug... 

I'm not very fond of how I look in this video, but Bug is so cute I had to post it.  Hey, give me a break.  I'm a new mom and I'm tired!  I'm still trying to perfect putting Bug first in my life AND trying to look decent.  (Obviously I failed this day.) :)

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
