Lately

You must wonder what we do for fun after day care...or maybe you don't think about it.  Either way, here are all the super cool fun things we've been doing lately.

I really do feel for the toys that are suffocated by Bug's unending love for them.
 Sometimes a good sit-up is in order.  Obviously working out is not her thing.  (Just like Mommy!)  Believe it or not, under all that chub are some pretty strong abs.
Jewelry- a girl's best friend.
 Now that Daddy's home a bit earlier, we have a ton of time to go to the pool.  Here's Bug, with yet another random neighbor of ours.  Bug is pretty popular around the apartment complex.  People LOVE her.  I mean, can you really blame them?
Did I mention it's been pretty humid?  This "June gloom" really has to go away.  It's killing me.
I recently had jury duty.  As you all know- BIG SNORE FEST.  The courthouse pictured below is the wrong courthouse.  I waited in line for half an hour at the wrong door.  Little did I know that the courthouse I had to report to was the criminal courthouse...5 blocks away.  This Lifetime loving, emotional mother should be the last person on any criminal case.  Although I was not chosen for a panel, let alone a jury trial, if I had been, I would have made a Lifetime movie out of it once it was over.  (The city told me I could.)
Since I was not chosen for any panel, I waited it out ALL DAY.  I even got to take a few naps!  Thank goodness for great books!

Sometimes we're just too pooped out to play, McKayla!  Bug's getting pretty good at letting us know she's done for the day.  She's getting better at accepting that she can be tired sometimes and that a good nap is in order.
It's a tough life, being a baby and being forced to play all day.  I get it.  You know what's tougher?  Being a parent who cannot keep up with a mobile baby.  That's tough!  Sometimes I feel like Bug looks in this photo.  However, if I lay prostrate on the floor, no one rubs my back and puts me to bed.  Ha!

Updates:  
1- A few months back we introduced Bug to yogurt and she had an allergic reaction. The doctor asked us to reintroduce it this month to see if she really is allergic or if her tummy was just not ready the first time.  So, we did.  I gave her three spoonfuls with her fruit.  A day later, allergic reaction.  It's official.  No yogurt.  The doctor said we should wait until she's 2 years old to give it to her.  Poor Bug.

2- Bug has been in a BAD mood the last couple of days.  She's even begun to scream in the middle of the night.  Yesterday, I noticed that her two top teeth are attempting to break through the gum.  I say attempting because what seems like happens overnight for most babies, happens in a few weeks for Bug.  It takes her teeth so long to break through.  Her symptoms of teething begin a couple weeks to a month before the tooth even breaks through.  Meanwhile, all her little friends (3months-6 months) all have at least 2-4 teeth.  It's cool.  Bug's a late bloomer.  Just another example of her doing things at her own time, but when she does it, she does it well. So hopefully we'll be seeing some teeth soon because this girl already loves to chomp away at big girl foods.  :)

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...
