Summer Fun

It's been a busy summer so far! We've [finally] gotten into our new apartment and love it! The weeks go by so fast and I can't believe how big Molly and David are getting!

On the 14th Molly had her very first trip to the dentist! We'd been practicing saying "Ahh" for about 2 weeks and having Molly let me look in her mouth and guess what?! She still had a meltdown the second our doctor tried to look at her teeth .... hopefully in 6 months it will be better! She did enjoy the stickers though!




Unlike his big sister, David really enjoys his tummy time! I know before too long he will be crawling and we will wish that he was still immobile :) It is wonderful to watch him growing and trying to learn new skills! He is getting to be a big boy - I try to compare him to other babies his age and he is always bigger, still hoping he will be tall like his daddy! He has such a sweet little personality. He wants to be held and snuggled. It is very easy to get him to laugh - Molly loves to make him smile and they will entertain each other for minutes (ha ha) on end!



We've started letting Molly and David bathe together and they love it! Molly likes to boss David around and tell him to stop splashing and to not make a mess (Don't know where she would have heard that?!) We definitely have two little water babies - They love the bath and the complex's swimming pool - Molly asks to go "Fwimming" every day. David really enjoys the water too!

May

So much has been happening lately I am having a hard time keeping it all straight!

We started David on food and (big surprise here) he LOVES it! Ha ha I can't spoon it into his mouth fast enough! We haven't found anything he doesn't like! :) He is getting to be a big guy - 4 1/2 months old and last night I put him into a 6-9 month sleeper! It fit in the length and width! If we're lucky he'll be tall like his daddy!

He really is a very happy little guy - when I get up in the morning David and I "hang out" so Jamon can sleep in. He will just coo and laugh all morning! I love it! Molly never was much of a "talker" at this age!






Molly is still the very busy and sweet little girl she has always been! She has decided that her favorite color is blue. All day I hear "want BLUE blanket (or cup/plate/yogurt/crayon/or whatever) Sadly, since Molly is a girl, she doesn't have many things that are blue. The good thing is that Molly doesn't actually know what the color blue is! Molly that IS your blue cup [as I hand her the green or orange cup. . . . ] Poor girl is going to be so confused when she gets to school!

I'm amazed at how much she has started talking lately! Little kids are so smart! She sings songs with us at bed-time and knows most of the words. She likes to "read" her books too!

Memorial Day Fun

Memorial Weekend was so much fun! A lot of my family came into town and we went to Mudbug Madness and had a BLAST! We even got a babysitter for the first time since David was born! And I realized that it was the first time we have left Molly with a real babysitter and not family! Jamon and I had a great time eating greasy fried food and dancing to the zydeco music! So much fun!



On Monday I had to work, BOO, but Jamon went to his sister Kara's house for a Memorial Day party! I wanted to go soo bad! I know they had an great time!




Molly loves the water! Jamon said she swam around the pool with her life jacket and tube for as long as he would let her!

Kool Smiles!

I think I have told everyone that I have talked to in the past weeks - I GOT A JOB!

Ha ha just for fun I thought I would tell you a little bit about it!

I will be working at Kool Smiles! Kool Smiles is a nation-wide (91 offices I believe) chain of dental offices that are built in underserved (i.e. low income) areas. We see mostly kiddos, but we do see adults too. I have to admit - I like the idea seeing kids who probably wouldn't get dental treatment otherwise - teaching is a fun part of being a hygienist!

The office is brand spankin new! It's right off of I-20 on Jewella - by Super One. So the building was already there, but they remodeled it! We saw it today for the first time (they're still working on getting everything set up) and it's AWESOME! if I may say so! I will be the only hygienist initially and the hygiene bay has 6 chairs with the potential for 12 chairs once they hire more dentists and hygienists (and I get an assistant! Woot woot!)

It's been hard being away from my sweet family during the day - and I wish it could be different, but I am very lucky to have this opportunity!

I guess thats all I will bore you with right now!

Grandma Blood's "Owies"

Molly LOVES to visit Grandma Blood's "Owies" (loosely translated to Cowies. . . . )

My computer is being weird, but one of the above pictures she is trying to give a new calf a hug!
