Burping Lessons

The other morning I was sitting in the rocking chair, I had just finished feeding Kendall and had her on my shoulder burping her. Cody came over to me and the following conversation ensued:

Cody - Mama what you doing to her
Me - I am burping her baby
Cody - Dat is not how you burp her, you are supposed to squeeze her neck
Me - No your not Cody that would hurt Kendall
Cody - No, you squeeze it softly
Me - No you don't Cody, I better not catch anyone squeezing her neck that would hurt Kendall

The next day I had just finished feeding Kendal and was in the process of burping her again, this time I had her sitting up on my lap and I was supporting her head with my hand while rubbing her back. Cody came over to me and said "See Mama you is squeezing her neck softly" :)

Going's On

Felt like it was time to do a quick update on us since I had a moment and Kendall is asleep ;)

Colin: he just finished up golf camp last week and had a really good time, we all went out to the course last Friday evening to watch him compete in a little challenge. It was nice out on the course. All the kids liked riding in the golf carts.

Cody: is enjoying being home and not having to get up early everyday (that will change next week as I have to go back to work) the picture above is from his spring program at school, he was a firefly. I did not get to go as Kendall was a little too young to be around so many people, but Michael said it was really cute.

Cathy: is doing good as well, she went to a softball camp last week and had a lot of fun there. She is a really good ball player, she played when she was younger but then decided the past couple of seasons that she liked soccer better (they are at the same time of year), I am hoping that the camp refueled her love of softball and she will try out next year. She is growing so fast I cannot believe she will be in middle school next year. The picture above is from her fifth grade graduation.

Kendall: is still crying, although it is settling down some. We are now on a formula that I think is working better and the Zantac seems to be helping as well. She is growing like a weed. I tried to take a couple of pictures of her last week which she was not to happy about as you will see.

Feeling Sexy

Mama, what is that smell?
Are you wearing a new perfume?
Why yes dear, it is called spit up, do you like??

Kristen, how many days are you going to wear that shirt?
Until it rots and falls off of me, you actually think I have time to shower and change clothes??

Gift Ideas

If any of you are looking for a gift idea for me, I have two that will come in very handy; 1) a referee shirt 2) a set of ear plugs. Because all I have done the past two days is break up fights between my two boys (hence the ref shirt) and listen to my baby cry inconsolably. Kendall has seemed to have a sensitive stomach since birth. I have discussed this with her doctor and decided to try a more sensitive formula. I just went and bought today, so we are in our first 24 hours of using it. Here is keeping my fingers crossed that it helps and she feels better. As for the boys I told them both today that if the fighting between the two of them did not stop they would be going to summer camp for the rest of mama's maternity leave. (I don't think they really believed me though, I think they know I am a softy) I guess they are just boys being boys though (at least that is what everyone says). As for Cathy, well she is awesome and a really BIG help to her mama.
