Happy First Valentine's Day

It was Kinley's first out of the womb Valentine's Day! On Fri. Matt came home with a flower for her and some for me too! I was so proud that he thought of her! (and me) But I just never know what his crazy mind is thinking. He did good this year! He said, "When I was at the florist I realized that holidays are going to be very expensive for me here on out." LOL At least he is realizing this now! Tonight (Sat.) we decided to go out to eat. He asked if I wanted to get someone to watch Kinley but I said no way! The only problem with that is you have to go somewhere where it is very loud because we all know how loud Kinley is. I can just imagine us at a nice restaurant with our almost 10 month old as young college kids are there trying to enjoy their meals together. That could turn a romantic night into a nightmare real fast for people. So we decided on............Brown's Catfish! Now if that's not romantic I don't know what is! For those of you who don't know...Brown's is a very very good catfish/seafood buffet style restaurant. There are always tons of people and its very loud. It's the perfect place to take your kid! In fact there were tons of kids with their grandparents. I guess the parents actually went on a real Valentine date! Oh well, we'll get them next time. I just really have no desire to go places without Kinley. With all that said, remember there were LOTS of grandma's there. It kinda reminded me of the VFW or something! So, what do g-ma's do...try to make your kid laugh. This one woman was behind us in line (we waited for about an hour) and she just kept on trying her best to get Kinley to do, I don't know what! Then the moment finally came when she said "Can she come see me?" I know she was an innocent old lady but why in the world would I want my kid to go to a complete stranger that I met in a buffet line? But you have no choice really but to say "if she will come to you." And of course Kinely just goes to anyone so the lady held her while I watched very closely and at the first sign of a squeal I jumped in and got her back. She didn't try to hold her after that but I just can't figure out why ppl think we want you to hold our kids. Oh well it was all harmless but if I don't know you don't ask to hold my kid! If I know you, sure! :) For all of you without kids: JUST DON'T ASK TO HOLD A STRANGERS KID, you will understand this more when you have your own. (or maybe I'm the only one that thinks this way) All in all, we had a great night and fun time with each other and Kinley! Happy V-Day to everyone!

Pants on the ground...Booty in the air!

First read the title of this blogg! There are so good parts to this title. 1. My pants were NOT on the ground. Ok that's the only good part of the title! :) BTW-that guy was very funny on AI. Let's start from the beginning! Kinley as you all know from my FB has constant ear infections. Finally the pediatrician said its time for tubes! So off we go to the ENT Dr. After they called us back and the sweet nurse talked to us for a min she said, "The Dr. will be right in." We have all heard that before...you sit and wait at least 15 or more mins. before someone comes back in. I was in this mind frame when I decided to change Kinley. So I pulled her pants down (hints the title) and attempted to change her on this tiny chair. This room was not made for changing diapers in apparently, but being the good mother I am decided it would work for us! lol So Kinley's butt is shinning in the air and so is mine. Remember the chair is tiny so I have to lean way over to change her diaper...now this created my booty in the air (2nd part to title)! And what do you know, in walks Mr. ENT Dr. And he is saying "nice to meet you" I guess he was talking to my butt because that was the only thing he could see! I didn't know what to do...just I just stood there and didn't say anything! What a dork! Finally, I half turn and say "I'm so sorry, just a sec." as if Dr.'s run on my schedule! AWWWWW....I'm typing harder and harder as I remember this crazy story! I don't think things like this happened to me before Kinley came along! In the end, I got her butt covered up and pants on and turned around and talked to the nice Dr. and scheduled tubes!
Lesson learned: To quote the AI guy "Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground" Its true!

90 to nothing in a few seconds...

Kinley went from getting very upset because she could not crawl to moving all over the house! Seriously, on a Mon. she could not move on Tues. she was everywhere! She has definitely learned how to get into everything and find anything! For example, Matt was supposed to be getting her back to sleep Sunday morning before church. Instead when I got out of the shower, he walked in the living room rubbing his eyes and said, "Kinley is not going to sleep, but I feel back asleep." HUMMMM....was that my goal? I think NOT! The story continues..."When did you put her in the playpen," says my lovely husband. I'm thinking to myself surely he is joking. NO! As he was snoozing she crawled off the bed (that is very high) into the playpen that is right beside the bed. When I went in to check on her after putting all this together she was just standing there. Lesson learned: You just can't trust a man! (Disclaimer: Matt is normally very good with her)
