Feel free to ask me any questions.

Weekend Visit

The family came up to visit us this weekend. It was a great. e are glad that they came. We felt bad because we didnt have much room for them to sleep but they made it work out. We learned a few things for next time on how to be a good host. One good idea is to remember to have some towels for them to use. The pictures above -we are just being fun. We were suppose to be fishing but my pole didnt function (it broke), and plus the wind wasnt helpful, so we did other things.... like Ice Blocking! We bought an ice block and went cruisin down Old Main hill. It was fun you guys. Thanks for visiting!

Grandma Nae

Grandma Nae came up to visit us over the weekend and we made sure we atleast got some pictures.

My Beautiful Cake

After 2 months of classes I can do THIS! Does anyone need a cake made? I should charge $40.00 for this maybe more :)

Poopey Poopey

Yes "Baby went poopoo". Its amazing how we can be so excited for her to go poop. It was very nice to not have to change poopy diapers though!! She has had the worst gas- worse than her parents. So it ended up being11.5 days since her last one. I find it amazing that not even the mirolax we used on Monday and Tuesday worked. Anyway, this is our new news!

Look! I found my toes!

This is about Kaylee and not her parents. Kaylee received a talk from her father tonight. She was told that if she did not poop within the next 24hrs she was going to receive some mirolax. Kaylee has not had a bowel movement in over a week. Thursday night we even gave her a glycerin suppository but nothing happened. She gives us the signs of being uncomfortable. Friday morning we took her into the pediatrician and he said there wasnt anything wrong, maybe just a slight constipation. So our question is where is the poop? She eats all of her rice cereal at night, there has to be something left over! Two weeks prior to this she would consistantly save her movements for every 24-36 hrs or so- and they were big ones. If this one has been a week how big can we expect?! In the mean time we will put up with her recently developed stinky gas.

To change the subject she has also developed an interesting panting noise. She gives it to us when she is excited or wants mom to feed her. We laugh at her everytime!
