In which we discuss matters of the family.
Pete’s stats: 26 inches long; 14.6 pounds.
I don’t recall how big Poppy was at 4 months old. But I do know that she was rolling over then. Pete has been rolling himself onto his back in his crib for a few weeks now, and we actually saw him do it for the first time last weekend.
When Pi was 4 months old, I recorded the fact that she was tired, but she wouldn’t go to sleep. Guess what! She’s tired again today, and she won’t go to sleep.
The more things change …
We bought the Baby Einstein exersaucer for Poppy in January 2006. She loved it, then she outgrew it. And it was put into storage at my dad’s house.
Dad pulled it out of his attic and brought it down with him when Pete was born. Until yesterday, it was sitting in Pete’s room. Poppy would play with it sometimes, when I took Pete in for a diaper change.
I’ve been putting Pete in the exersaucer every now and then, just to let him play with its gadgets and to gauge whether he’s big enough to go solo in it. He successfully used his cousin’s exersaucer and door-frame jumper this weekend, so I decided to pull our exersaucer into the living room yesterday.
Guess who decided to take it for a spin? Poppy stood and knelt in it for about 20 minutes before she called for a rescue. It amazes me to see how much she’s grown in the last two years.
My aunt is in the hospital again, and the doctors don’t think she’ll be going home this time. I’m We’re planning to leave tomorrow morning later this week to drive up there.
Please pray for comfort for Aunt Judy and for safety for me and the rest of the family as we travel this week.
