8 month Bug

On Friday we celebrated Bug's 8th month birthday!

Happy 8 months to our baby big girl Bug!
Please disregard the incorrect date on this photo.  Apparently our camera doesn't want to get to correct itself.

Things we can be thankful for in these 8 months:

1-Bug's babblin' abilities.  Current sounds include "Da-Da, Ma-Ma, Mum-Mum, Pa-Pa"

2-Solid foods.  We had quite a scare this last week.  Bug doubled the amount of solid food she wanted to eat and had a hard time...umm...#2-in'.  We spoke to the doctor and he said because she doubled her amount in such a short amount of time, her tummy was just adjusting to the food, on top of the formula.  We were so lucky to be able to leave her with such caring ladies at the day care.  They gave Bug some special attention all week (as they do every single day) and watched her, massaged her tummy, and cuddled with her so she wouldn't feel so bad.  We feel so blessed to know these women, who "oooo and aaawww" over Bug.  So now, Bug has herself a couple ounces of water after each meal, to help her digest.  She's trying chicken for the first time this week.  Wish us luck!

3-Cuddle time.  Bug loves hugs and kisses now and she's pretty good at initiating them.  Oh, how I absolutely LOVE when she reaches out for me.  She is truly becoming the "sweet" girl the day care ladies keep telling me about.  :)  She is so friendly and so social!

4-Sitting "quietly" and somewhat still.  After 8 months, Bug is finally sitting "quietly" at church and allows Mommy and Daddy time to listen and take in the Word.  This new development made Easter mass a true success.  Of all days to choose to sit "quietly" and then fall asleep for almost the entire mass, she chose Easter mass.  I consider this her Easter gift to Mommy and Daddy.  Between keeping her preoccupied and feeding her at church, it's sometimes tough to take in what's going on and to truly pay attention.  Perhaps she knew how much we had been needing this. Hopefully this type of behavior continues. :) Pray for us. :P

Every single day is a blessing with this little Bug.  Enjoy the 8 month photoshoot!
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...
