Who are you and what did you do with my daughter?? Ok so I know K is really my daughter….but where’d her quiet personality go? What am I talking about? Well…she has discovered she can just throw herself on the floor on a whim…..and roll around screaming. Mommy just standing there scratching her head wondering what on earth is going on. For example…..I asked K where was her baby? She looks around, walks into the living room (I’m following), she finds baby and picks up. Takes two steps….looks at the baby….throws the poor thing on the floor and then herself and proceeds to scream. Oh the joys of temper tantrums…..but who turned on the on switch and where can I turn it off?

Anyway…we’re halfway (and sadly) through the summer. I haven’t really finished much of anything I have been wanting to finish. Such glorious plans to do so much…..I did caulk the living room so that is a major plus! I am wanting to paint our bedroom walls and furniture. It’s so boring in there to look at and I just think maybe some sprucing up of the place will make it look better. I am thinking a colonial type of blue. I can picture it in my brain anyway. Paint the ugly furniture a chocolate color (and hopefully it will work)….put on a nice bedskirt of some color (hadn’t really thought of that yet)….and a white matlesse of sorts. And when I get done with my BIG quilt….put it on the foot of the bed. It’s an idea anyway.

Today was K’s check up (15 months). She is now 32 1/2 inches long and in the 100% of her age. Not sure where she gets the tall genes from…haha. She’s beginning to turn into a toddler looking little girl (slimming and lengthing)….hardly babyish at all. Need to work on getting her to say more than meow and uh oh. She seems to be working on saying Thank you….at least when you give her something she says something that sounds like “Te” ….one syllable…she also seems to be saying done when eating. She picks up her plate as if handing it to you and says “da.” I ask her if she’s done all of the time. So overall….a really good check up…she was even able to play with the toys in the waiting room. Previously she was sick or still crawling.

Maddie has returned home. I know I say that as if she was missing. The crazy dog….while we were out traveling..stayed with G/ma Linda in M-ville. Upon her visit she at the leg of one of Annie’s . We didn’t know this at all. I picked her up from g/ma on Tuesday June 8th. She acting all mopey (as usual) and not really eating either (which is nothing new). The following Sunday we drove up to my mom’s b/c Alan had to be up that way for work. Maddie got sick that night (oh yea…on the nice cream colored carpet too). And she did it again the next day….except in the afternoon she threw up the toy part. Sheesh….I washed the nasty thing to see if it was a recognizable toy of Maddies, Kayla’s or Annie’s. The culprit…Annie’s. She seems okay the rest of the afternoon….then that night 4 more times. So…by the time we get home Tuesday night…it’s too late to take her to the vet….and she’s not throwing up. So she gets dropped of the next morning and stays until Friday. So…now we’re on more meds….but at least she’s feeling better.

Not much else going on in the way of excitement.

Today is mom’s birthday…so we created a message just for her….here it is…plus some other pics.

Hangin' out
