Hi Mom!
Just trying out the tube!
We are going to the lake next weekend, so Ellie and Daddy got the boat out and cleaned up and ready. Kailey and I went out and helped for awhile, but we had to go inside when she got crabby. She is a crabby kid. Really, she only likes for me to hold her. She pitches a fit for Matt when he is trying to settle her down. She is a big time mommy's girl. Wants to be held constantly. I'm holding her now, as a matter of fact. I told him not to take it personally, she just knows I'm her food source.
I really think I could get more accomplished in a day if she didn't insist on being held continuously. I'm sure her reflux is a big part of it. I just remember Ellie was perfectly content to watch me, as long as she is near me. People say second children typically are more content because they learn to live with less attention. Well, either she missed that part in the book, or decided she didn't like it, because she screams and cries and pitches such a fit if we are not constantly at her beck and call. I know she probably hurts. I wish I could make it all go away. I can't stand it when she chokes. But, if she wants to eat, she's gonna have to let mama eat once in awhile too. (and not just standing in the pantry shoving teddy grahams in my mouth!)
But then, you know, Matt says this is our last baby. And if that is true, I am perfectly content to hold her all day. I know the day will come when I will wish for a baby to want me this badly. So, for right now, I guess the bathrooms won't get scrubbed and the dinner will be whatever I can throw together with one hand. And I will just enjoy my babies.

dear jill,
we miss you. chuck the zantac and check your work email.
No prob! I also love the website picnik.com for photo editing! I used both to make my header. Once you've made a page you can save it as a jpeg image (under "file") so you can put it in your blog header. Let me know if you have questions...I just played with it for a few hours so I might not be able to help much!
