What Karalee thinks of Miami Vice
Dana got me a gorgeous Sapphire necklace and Miami Vice dvd's, my best friend and I swapped gifts via snail mail so I'm curious what I'll get there! Lol I know I got Miami Vice season 3 & 4 from him so far which is exciting. Yes, it's true I am that dorky! Lol
Karalee has been having a blast playing with the 3 month old little boy at her daycare, named Greyson. He's a cutie! She loves to grab his hands and toes when he waves them around, 'course that gets her to giggling which sets Greyson to giggling and then the adults all have to join in on the giggling!
She's been giving rice cereal a shot...some days she likes it better then others. Most days she really does not care for the taste. We have another month before we're allowed to introduce any other foods to her and I'm getting excited! I can't wait to see what she'll really like and what she'll avoid like the plague! 'Course as you read above I did sneak her some potato cheese soup but it was just on my fingertip and since she didn't turn into a bundle of rash I doubt it caused any harm. Hee hee
Here's picture's of Karalee's take on rice cereal:
Yuk...what IS this stuff???
She's getting more expressive every day! She can find you now if you're out of her line of sight and call her name which is pretty neat! She'll look around until she finds you and then she gives you this HUGE smile! I love it! She's also getting so much stronger! If you're holding her on your lap she can sit straight with out much support and she's trying so hard to master getting herself up into a sitting position! She'll be laying down and you can see her lift her head & chest up but she just can't quite get up yet. She's also getting really good about lifting herself off her tummy and looking around, she gets those legs going but hasn't quite figured out to move her arms too for forward momentum! She's pretty well mastered rolling over, although for us she'll only roll from her back to her tummy and rarely from her tummy to her back even though she does it like a champ at daycare! Little stinker! She loves to touch people's faces as they're talking to her and if you're not careful she will snag a handful of hair! I can attest from personal experience it hurts like the dickens to get it away from her! Kiddo's got some serious strength in those little hands! Lets see...she's about to move up from Stage 2 diapers into Stage 3's! Kiddo is growing so doggone fast! She's also decided that certain glasses are terribly scary! I don't know where she got that in her head but I know my daycare lady had on a pair of sunglasses while she was holding Karalee and soon as she got close to those she bawled! Same thing happend to another friend of mine with just her regular glasses! Poor lady felt terrible she'd made Karalee cry even though it wasn't her fault!
We booked our tickets for the trip in November to meet up with my baby board friends and I'm so excited! We'll also be seeing family which will be exciting as well as my Dad and his side of the family haven't met Karalee yet so they're very anxious to see her! It's going to be a quick trip and our first with Karalee so I'm a tad nervous about how it will go. I'm sure it'll be fine, she's such an easy going kid for the most part. Lugging all her stuff on the other hand may just break Dana's and mine's back! Hee hee
I'm so looking forward to Halloween! I can't wait to dress Karalee up as a lady bug and show her off to the neighbors! I think we're going to go to Boo at the Zoo as well. That's basically a day where the kids walk around the zoo in costume and there's various candy stations. I love going and seeing what everyone's kids dress up as! Plus this way she'll get to wear her costume twice so I'll have gotten my money's worth! Heh heh
I went to a jewelry show at my friend Gail's house, those are always so much fun! Little dangerous as it's easy to spend too much but I was really good so I was proud! I'm friends with the lady that presents the jewelry so I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow to discuss getting into the business as a side job. Sounds like you can make pretty good money and unlike Avon this is something I've seen first hand sell very well so I'm pretty excited to get more information. I'm not going to leap into it with pocket book out obviously but if it's something I can do one day a week or something I'm interested in seeing what it can do. Every little bit helps for savings!
The lady whom adopted Sylvester sent pictures of him playing with the kittens she just adopted! He's doing fabulous at her place! NO peeing accidents, he loves her cats etc. I can't even tell you how relieved I am that he has a happy home! He's so spoiled and loved on and seeing the pictures of him laying in laundry baskets or playing with those kittens just warms my heart! Here's some pictures of Sylvester:
Here's some pictures of Karalee:
