Out of This World

I am behind on blogging, but I wanted to make a quick announcement. We are expecting baby #4, due May 5th. That makes me only 7 weeks along. This morning, I was looking at my week by week pregnancy book. Kendra came and wanted to see. I showed her what our baby looks like right now.

Kendra looked for a moment, then said, "Mom, can we look at a human baby?"

These are not the same pictures we looked at, but this should be close to what our baby looks like.

Any Gimmer of Hope

Kent told me about this conversation he had with Camryn.
Camryn asked if we could have a horse someday. Kent said, "probably not."
Camryn responded, "so that means maybe?"
Kent said, "no, probably not means most likely no."

The next day Camryn comes to me and tells me in a pretty excited way that Daddy said we might get a horse someday. I asked her if that was really what Daddy said. She replied, "well he said probably not, but that means maybe yes!"

Camryn's School Story

Camryn brought this home form homework. The assignment was to tell me a story, using these pictures. Here was Camryn's story:

Mom Mouse said, "Wake-up sweetheart. It's time to get ready for your first day of Kindergarten.".

Tie your shoes and get dressed.

.
.
.
.
.

.
Get your backpack and all your things inside.
Little Mouse said, "I'm going to take a picture of my family so I don't get lonely."

On the way to school Mom Mouse said," At school, you are going to learn your alphabet."
Little Mouse said, "I already know my alphabet."
.
.
.
.

.
.

Mom Mouse said, "You are going to learn your numbers."
Little Mouse said, "I already know my numbers."
.
.
.
.
.

Mom mouse said, "Maybe you will learn how to read."

No. Reading is for First Grade, not for Kindergarten.

Little Mouse went to school and drew a picture.

Mom Mouse came to get Little Mouse after school. Little Mouse said, "I am not ready to go yet. I am having fun."


Hmmm.....at least she is having fun.

Tiny Feet

I do not have tiny feet. I wear size 9 to 10. I have always disliked my big feet. Big feet are not feminine.

I have been noticing lately some BIG feet on other babies. Their toes and feet look HUGE!

Corinne has cute little baby feet. I like her baby feet.

We finally took Corinne to buy shoes. She has not needed them so far. She has worn booties or gone barefoot, but she has a special occasion to attend this weekend. So we went to buy her real dress shoes.

And I realized something. Other babies do not have big feet. My baby has teeny tiny feet. She will be 5 months old this week. Can you guess what size shoes we had to buy?

Size 1

too big
.
.

size 0-3 months

too big

Here are her 0-6 week newborn shoes.
May I remind you that she is almost 5 months old!

Can you see that they are still loose?

But take a look at those baby thighs! There is nothing teeny tiny about them!

I sure love my cutie pie!
