times seems to just fly so fast. i cant believe that another summer is here already. sometimes it just feels like life goes by much too quickly. every now and then i just want to pause it, or at least make it go in slow motion. but ... since that's really not a possibility i just have to remind myself to live up every day. i really need to do that.
today was nice. the weather wasnt too hot. we had some catfish that was off the hook. ooohhh, i could have eaten that all day long! the kids loved doing their fireworks, though takia was a bit scared at first. she is growing up so fast. its almost sad. she went from needing help with a sparkler to shooting off a roman candle by her self! so brave! she was! i wish i had gotten some better pics! the mosquitoes are so bad out here though that me and kenzie spent most of our time hanging out in the fan.
a strange thing happened though somewhere between leaving mil's house and the ride home. takia cried all the way home that her bottom hurt. really i just chalked it up to her being extra extra tired and need a good night's rest. when we got home, come to find out, the girl had to splinters in her butt cheek! what the heck? i have no clue how they got there. we ended up getting one out but she was not at all happy. it took a good little while. we even tried using the tweezers out of our memory makers scrapbooking tool kit! lol. she took a nice warm bath and seems to be fine now.
kenzie mama has been so fussy today. though she slept all night, she wouldnt nap today. and she wanted to eat about every two hours (compared to every 4 to 5). she had about 6 dirty diapers all day. dont know if she has a touch of something, if she's just going through a phase, is just a bit fussy and being a baby (lol) or what. still not sure what i will do about switching her formula once this week is up. we have one more that we can try. i have def. noticed a change since we have started the soy formula. she def. is not as gassy and does not have much of a problem passing it. so she's not fussy over that. but now a different type of fussiness has started, if that makes any since. and today was just strange with the eating so often and having so many dirty diapers. i'll have to see if that keeps up. we shall see. the girl is a dr jekyll mr hyde though.
i took a few pics of her once we got home this evening. first she has a content look on her face. then the bottom lip starts to poke and quiver. then she's very upset. calmed down. cheesing sooooo big (got a pic of that!!) . then back to pokey lip and crying. the girl is too cute though, even when she cries. i really cannot get enough of her. fri. evening she spent the night with my sister and i missed her before i even dropped her off!! her touch , her smell, her cute little faces, even that crying! i missed it all! i probally drove ziven crazy talking about her! its crazy the hold that your children have on you. i can fuss at mikayla all day long (and believe me she needs some fussing) but still miss her in a sec when she's gone. crazy but such is the life of a parent.
