Walker Time

Kali has a walker at her Memaw and Papa's (TJ's parent's) house and she loves it.  She has mastered backwards, but is still working on going forward.  So I found the Cosco Beep Beep Walker, I got the pink one (the first pink thing in the house...UGH! I was so trying to avoid that, but the orange one was uglier than the pink, so I went with the lesser of two evils.).  And since we have wood floors, she loves it! :)

Weeeeeeeee

(really it's more like SSQQQUUUEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL, but I'm sure she meant Weee)

Having fun in my walker

While she was in her walker, she found the swing.  She hated that swing.  Anytime you put her in it, she would start to scream.  But now....she wants to push it.  She's a crazy one I tell ya! But I love her all the same.  And I love her little gurgly giggle. Makes me smile.

Do you see that?! That little white bump on the left side (her right) of her mouth?!

That ladies and gentleman would be a TOOTH!

A big, honkin', sharp tooth! (and I know it's sharp cause she has bit my finger more than once!!)

But, those blue eyes own me. So she can bite me anytime she wants!!

(well until she gets more of those little white sharp things!) =)

Oh, and while I'm on a roll here with video and pictures.  She has this new thing that I like to call "Floor Swimming".  Even though I lay out a huge blanket for her with all of her toys on it, she insists on rolling OFF of the blanket and ONTO the hardwood floor.  I know those things are cold...but she keeps doing it.  No matter how many times I pick her back up and put her back on the blanket.   So the past couple of times she's done it, I let her stay on the cold floor for a few minutes.  And say things like "That floor is cold, isn't it? Don't you want to get on the nice warm blanket where all your toys are?" Yea...like she can understand me and is going to reply "Why yes mother.  I would really like to get back on the blanket.  Do you mind placing me gently in the center so that I can easily return to this exact same spot in 5 minutes and repeat this whole scenario.  Thanks."  Yea...I'm THAT mom, that has conversations with my child-in my head.  Sheesh...

So ANYWAY, back to the floor swimming.  She has started doing this when she gets to the hardwood.  She will flail her arms and kick her legs and look at me, as if to say "Look at me go" (yes I know I just did it again, but I can't help it).

Weekend of cuteness

Like every weekend isn't full of cuteness? Nah, but this time I got it on camera!! =)

First, Kali is a rolling machine!  She has discovered that if there is a toy over there -----> that she wants, then she can roll and get to it.  Talk about adorable?!  Since she's been rolling, the tummy mat has become more extinct considering she'll roll and knock the whole thing over.  So I've been laying out a blanket, scattering toys around and letting her go to town.  This video is long, because of course she noticed that I had the camera.  And when she notices that I have the camera, all evidence of cuteness goes away for a few seconds and then she resumes.  So bare with us! I'm going to get this kid liking the camera if it's the LAST thing I do, I swear!!! :)

And then, she's starting to really get the hang of the Jumperoo.  She used to be all about the toys, but now she's realizing that she can JUMP.  I'm also on the hunt for a walker, since she has one at TJ's parent's house and seems to be enjoying it! I can't believe that she's getting so mobile! It's crazy!

And FINALLY........we have a tooth! That's right...a TOOTH!!!  It sprouted out Saturday (3/19) and is on the bottom left (her right).  She was restless all night Friday night and I finally brought her to bed with me since she wasn't sleeping in her crib (and therefore keeping me awake through the monitor).  But she was constantly moving her head, arms, and legs-while sleeping, and therefore I still  didn't get any sleep.  She hasn't been too cranky, so now I'm worried that this week will be bad when the rest of the tooth decides to pop out.  But so far, so good.  It is so crazy that my little 5 month old has a TOOTH.  Next thing I know she's going to be talking! UGH! I just wanna stop time and savor this before the next milestone happens!
