All Smiles; All the Time


You read it, it's so funny how much she smiles. My little girl is growing up so fast right before my eyes. I will never forget the date when she first smiled when we talked to her...St. Patty's Day...I came home from work and she was in her carseat ready to go bye bye because Daddy was taking us out to dinner, and I kissed her and talked to her and she gave me the biggest smile...and then another one...of course I cried like a baby, and ever since then...you know...I'm so awesome at updating she smiles all the time. She is starting to get her own personality, which I apologize to Tim about because she acts just like her mommy...if she doesn't get her own way, she's pissed! I will go in her room in the morning because she is stirring around, hoping to put her paci in her mouth and get a few more minutes of shut eye, but when I go in her eyes are wide open and she gives me the biggest smile, so of course I'm up for good and just want to play.

She loves....loves....loves being naked, in fact I often get her naked when she is fussy, it calms her down! My mother tried it this past weekend and Kara peed all over their new leather couch!!!...I warned her!

Kara lost her great-grandmother on Thursday last week. She had been battling cancer now for 5 years and is now pain free with God. It's been a rough couple of days especially with them living in Florida, so we pretty much feel helpless up here, but things are getting taken care of down there and plans up here are going well. My dad said on Thursday while hugging Kara, that Kara is proof that life goes on...one dies...another is born...we love you Great Grammie Dot.

I took on a challenge this Monday morning, I decided I would agree to watch a 3 week old little boy for a couple of hours, while his mommy took a test. I have talked to this lady...well Gwen many times, her husband graduated HS with Tim so we've chatted and while we were sharing day care difficulties I opened my mouth and said, well if Tim gets his lovely job, I will be more than happy to watch Jayden 2 days a week. So today she had to go to work to take a test (shes a nurse) and I watched baby Jayden. Kara was sleeping when he got here and so was he but they both decided to wake up simultaneously! Good thing Gwen was still here cause Jayden had a blow out diaper and Kara just wanted to be cuddled and put back to sleep. I'm not going into a lot of detail because I could type for hours, but I now realize that God makes children incubate for 9 months to give mothers a repreive. Having a 10 week old and a 3 week old was quite difficult. It felt like twins because they weigh the same...give or take a couple oz.

Well I have laundry and cleaning and Tim's online class to do...yeah yeah yeah...I know...but it's algebra and I love it, so its fun for me!
