Exersaucer, Solids & Trying to sit up!






'Roo' is getting big.  We are now sitting in the exersaucer & starting to jump & play in it.  We have slowly started solids (not too crazy about them) & trying our hardest to sit up although w/out 'support' all around him...he's a little top heavy.  He is so happy, smiles all day, loves when people talk to him & loves R & H.  Reese had quite a week.  We visited the ER but got frustrated & left then a few days later visited the Care Now "ER", & had a major bleeding head when the iron fell on her head.  Long stories short, goofing on couch &busted her lip--teeth came all the way thru; was standing too close to a swing door (w/flip flops) @ a store & when Momma came out her toe nail came w/the door; goofing in our room when she shouldn't be & knocked the iron (unplugged thank goodness) on her head.  Ever see the movie "Carrie?"  What a week!  Oh, did I mention that for the ER trip Jamie was in California!  I guess we can say that she is a survivor.  Nothing stops her!  Hunter is getting used to Reese being at school.  He asks all day, "Momma, go get sisser?"  or "Momma, when sisser coming home?"  It's sweet but also sad.  He doesn't know what to do w/ himself which I know will change soon.  He'll figure out that he's got me almost all to himself but for now...all he wants is sisser.  I've realized how much her being here has kept him going until 2:00 naptime.  I've had to pull out all the stops to keep him awake until we go get her.  He's exhausted by lunchtime.  The one picture of him is around noon when I decided to vacuum while he watched a movie...he was asleep before the movie even started!

End of Summer







    
As usual we had a hot summer but we tried our best to enjoy it.  We took one last trip to Broken Bow, Okla. w/ my family for a weekend of resting in the "hot pot" (as Reese called it--hot tub), jet skiing on the lake and as the Kirby's do best...EATING!  We went to the pool as much as we could before it closed & just hung out w/friends and family.  Oh...Hunter got a "big boy bed" and Reese started Pre-K.  Big news around here.  And of course...'Roo' continued to grow like a weed.
