Creepy Crawlies

The first so called snow storm. Not much of a storm. It was only an inch or two. But it was Kieran's first. He's now in the early stages of crawling. He can't crawl on all fours all that great yet, but he's mobile.
A few weeks ago he was doing the marine core under the wires type of crawling. Now he crawls on his belly sort of like a lizard. If he really wants to get somewhere he can roll across the room in a few revolutions.
Composing an email, instant messenger, and placing a bid on some baby stuff by Kate Spade on EBay. How much is shipping?
You know all these kiddie toy commercials that bombards new parents and grand parents? Well it's a joke. Don't fall for that marketing crap. I did a test and put all his toys around and what did he go to first?
If you've got a remote control and some paper lying around that's what they want. The sound of crinkling and ripping and the TV volume going sky high!
Fisher Price is full of baloney man.

It was moving freezer day today. We sold our 1973 industrial strength freezer and we were putting in the garage until it could be picked up. So my brothers and sister came over to help. Man was it heavy! It took 4 of us to move it into the garage. And to get it there we had to take the lid off. Otherwise it wasn't going to fit through the doorways. We think that the previous owners built the basement around this thing. Plus it was mommy's Williams-Sonoma shopping day excursion. So my brothers and and I stayed home to watch the kiddies.
Hey, if mamma's out, who's gonna feed me?
Jade was learning to read, cause according to her she already "talk gud engrish, tank yous". And Ryan, I don't know what he's doing? I think he was doing his exercising for PS2 Boxing. And Kieran was heading to the door and FREEDOM! Looking for momma and food.

Getting ready to do another wrestling move. Emmerson is going to be the next superstar in the WWF. As long as they pay her in chocolate.

This what choco-holics get when they're on withdrawl. Emmerson's got the shakes and Jaedin has the dry heaves. Look at the suffering on their faces from Chocolate Deprivation!
The agony, the pain. It must be genetic, they must get it from Lou, he gets the same symptoms when he doesn't get his daily bag of Doritos. Is there a cure? Only if they make organic pop and chips.

With all the cousins around, Kieran was pooped. But he's currently got another cold. AGAIN. And later on after I took this photo. He puked on the loveseat. But I think the breastmilk in the fridge had turned bad. Good thing we got Stainguard on it. Guaranteed for 7 years I think. Or something like that.

The Ring and the Grudge....It's the Gring!

Happy 11th Birthday Jade!
I am so ashamed!

And for my next trick, I will jump for joy and not get stuck.
Tada!
Believe it or not Kieran is asleep. I had just taken him out while Tresa does some tidying up with her papers. When I arrived home, which was only like a 2 minute drive from the Stockyards, he was fast asleep. Guess it was LIGHTS OUT!
I took Kieran to see my friend Fabian who cuts my hair.
Kieran didn't do all of this in the same day. I've been pretty behind in my blogging so here's two weeks worth Carmen! Just for you!
See this chair. He's smiling, but most times it's like we're putting him in iron chains and locking him up. We just got it for him because he's almost outgrown the car seat. So I picked this Eddie Bauer one from Toys-R-Us. This chair was on the news a while back because some lady got into a car accident and she broke every bone in her body and her son was in one of these and he didn't have scratch. So I ordered an adult one for me and Tresa. It'll take 4-6 months.
Sort of like our new sofa that we ordered back in August. It finally came.
Because of the hurricanes that passed through the south it disrupted a lot of busineses. Not just oil rigs and George W's backyard.
The only reason he's in the laundry sink is because he pooped one of those explosive up the back suckers. He did another one just this past weekend. I was smelling something unusual and then I check my hand that was resting on his back. And WOW all over my hand YUKKY! what a stink bomb! We've been giving him rice cereal now for about 2 weeks and he's been loving it. He also took in some formula and he's starting to like that stuff too. But I overfed him on Saturday and he was puking it back up. But it might have been the formula that he didn't like too. Enfalac with Iron. If your kid isn't anemic he/she probably doesn't need it. So get the Similac or Enfalac A+ stuff.

Please sir, can I have some more.

After months of watching us eat food, Kieran finally got his first taste of solid food. Well, it's not really solid, more like mush. And it's not even mush, it's runny. It's rice cereal.
At first he didn't get the mouth action correct. It looked like he was ready for a bottle and was expecting a nipple. After his second day of eating stuff, he was beginning to get the hang of it. And was reaching for the spoon like he wanted to do it himself.
Believe it or not, these two are getting along. It just looks like they're wrestling and Emmerson is practicing a head lock.

Who dis is?

Hey guess who's coming to dinner?
That doesn't look like an asian nose.
This is Luis and Lucy's latest addition. We went to go visit them on Sunday. I think she was 6lbs 12oz. It was hard to imagine that Kieran was like that 6 months ago. Well not exactly, he had some extra parts and was about a pound heavier. And now he's about 3 times her weight.
