Happy Birthday Keilah Rose!

Happy Birthday to my sweet one year old girl, Keilah Rose!
What a delight you are, my little girl! You adore your dog and bark incessantly for him when you want him or see him. You bark at all dogs or animals that are perceived to be dogs. You can walk on your feet when you want to, but prefer to walk on your knees. You giggle and laugh and love a good game of chase or "I'm gonna get you!" You are very ticklish. I hide bananas in my shopping cart when we get groceries, or you will see them and cry because you want one NOW. You adore your big brother and big sisters - probably just as much as they all adore you. Lately you've been demanding Daddy time too - even to the point of going to Dad before you come to me. :) You say hi and bye, dog and bottle, but not mama or dada. You hiss when we ask you what a snake says. Bath time is a time of great hilarity in your life, until you dunk yourself during your wild play - then it's not so much fun anymore. I feel like I'm wrestling an alligator when I change your diaper or get you dressed. You adore reading books. You have a mischievous sparkle in your eye as you play peek-a-boo with us. Your little life has brought so much joy to our family. We love you so much Miss Keilah Rose.  
And now to end the post with a video of my happy girl. I was trying to catch a video of her jabbering away as she read her books, but she saw me and wanted to come over and talk. The blurry parts are when she is walking on her knees to get closer. It's a side to side motion that inches her closer to me. You will also hear how she barks and says bye. Enjoy!

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
