Pray for little ears

Jeff took Sam back to the doctor today while I was working... that alone deserved prayer. But, we found out Sam has another double ear infection. I am just praying that we get past this as the weather gets warmer. Poor guy isn't even 4 months old yet and we are on our 3rd ear infection.

Random thoughts



I don't know why I can't keep this blog up to date, probably the same reason I can't keep anything else in my life up to date.....

I was just having some random reflections and thought I would share for your entertainment value.... Lexi Kate is potty training, what fun that has been. Actually she does pretty well, all when she wants to. In true character for Lexi Kate she will tell you as soon as she wakes up whether or not she is going to pee in the potty that day. And, we she feels real jazzy she will even ask what she is going to get if she goes potty. I guess using rewards wasn't necessarily the best idea.... If her bladder is anything like mine, we will be broke very soon. We had told her when she peed and pooped in the potty every day she could get a swing set. We had a poop accident the other day, and I asked her if she wanted her swingset. She said, "No, I don't really need it, I will just play with my friends."

We went to KY last weekend to celebrate Easter with my parents. The most exciting part of the trip was learning that LK gets car sick. Nice! I always got car sick as a child, and unfortunately it seems LK has inherited the trait. I can't believe it, but I actually paid $40 for a beach towell for her to sit on for the remainder of the trip. I had extra clothes for her to put on, but not an extra car seat cover. We stopped at a little gift shop and asked if they had any towells. Of course all they had were Vera Bradley beach towells. To top it off, they didn't even have the one that matched the pattern of other stuff I already had.

LK got her haircut on Wednesday. She has gotten where she really likes the whole experience. We talk about Ms. Honey all the time, and the fact that we get sparkles and suckers. Wednesday after Honey finished cutting LK's hair, LK immediately asked for her sparkle spray. Then, when Honey put a glitter star on her cheek, LK informed her that she forgot to do the other one. LK then got down out of the chair, turned around in front of the mirror, and said, "I am so beautiful."

Yesterday we were on the way to meet some friends at the park. From the backseat I hear, "My daddy is Jeff Woo(d)ford, he is my best daddy ever, my best friend. He is really great." If only Jeff could have been there to hear it for himself. LK can say her full name, and our names for that matter but for some reason leaves the middle "d" out of Woodford. So sweet to hear her say it.

Sam is "talking" up a storm now. Those sweet smiles and coos make the world go round. He looks just like his daddy, it is amazing how cute the little guy is. For his sake, it is good that he is so talkative and smiley. Considering he still gets up twice during the night, I might give him away if he didn't look at me with those loving smiles and talk to me...

Rolling Over!

I know I am way behind on pictures and updates, AGAIN. But, I wanted to let everyone know that Sam has started rolling over. I can't believe he is "growing up" so fast. It is a bitter sweet moment as I realized we are starting the last of our "first times".
