Rex

This pic is of Cailin yesterday before I took her to daycare. I put her hair up in "Mickey Mouse Ears". She likes it like this.

Here is another addition to the McCraw family. Warren went into the local pound yesterday (don't ask me why), I try to avoid that place! Otherwise, I'd be bringing little guys like this home too! Anyway, he fell for these blue eyes and cute face and brought him home. He's only 6-8 weeks old, just a baby. He's a very quiet and good dog (so far). Cailin has named him Rex, so that is what we are sticking too. I told him that I couldn't believe that he brought me home a baby to take care of a few weeks before I'll have another baby to take care of. He IS pretty irristable though.

My day is looking like a bunch of puppy watching! Bye!

Belly Pics and Geese

OK, I took some preggo belly pics just for you, Amy! It's pretty big! I keep bumping Cailin's head with it whenever we are standing. Ha! Cailin loves to put all of her stickers on it and decorate it when she gets a chance.

It was difficult to get these shots. I couldn't fit my entire stomach in the shot just by holding the camera at arm's length, so I had to set the camera on the counter. It was just too big! I think she's dropping some. It's not as high as it used to be.

This is what's going on in our house. A lot of "false alarms". She loves to sit on the toilet and put toilet paper in it, but she doesn't pee. She has actually peed in there a few times. I'm always scared she's going to fall in. She never wants to use her little potty anymore.

We had fun yesterday afternoon feeding the ducks and geese at the park. The geese are soooo pretty. They are wild and are only around during the cold weather months. They fly over our house every night around 5pm. I'm not sure why they are flying over, there's definately no water around us. She has no fear when it came to these geese! I did! I could just see her getting a big goose bite her somewhere! Yikes!

Well, I'd better go for now! Bye!

I don't have any pics today, just some funnies that I wanted to share. Last night, we were sitting on the couch and watching TV. Cailin pulled up my shirt and said, (totally out of the blue) "Kylie come out! Come see Cailin." Then, she so sweetly kissed my belly. It was the sweetest! So, we brought out hers and Kylie's scrapbooks to show her Kylie's sono pics. Then, we showed her pics of herself when she was a little baby. She loved looking at them.

I only have 1 more week to work, then I'm quitting. My doctor wanted me to take it easy. She thought that I was getting preclampsia, but luckily it wasn't. I knew I had been pushing it the past few weeks, having a lot of back pain and a few Braxton Hicks contractions. I was so exhausted and getting swollen at the end of the day. So, I'm only working 4 hour days until I quit. It has been so nice the past few days only working 4 hours.

Today, I was reminded that I am going to miss my job. We see mostly elderly people and they say the funniest things! The other day this man said, "Well you look like you are in a motherly way." I was thinking, "jeez, you think?" I just smiled and answered a "yes". Then, this lady yesterday was asking me if this was my first baby. I told her no that I had a 2 yr. old daughter. She said, "well you can always try again. It took me 6 times until I had a boy." I said, "we definately aren't going to try that many times." Why do people always think you Have to have a boy? To tell you the truth, I never wanted a boy. Warren does, but just to do boy things with, not for a namesake or anything. Today, this 92 yr. old lady was getting off of the exam table and she said, "Honey, my pins sure are shaky." Her pins were her legs. Funny! These are just what I can remember, there have been some crazy things people say and do.

Well, I better go. Bye!

Did you know that fairies eat pizza?

Cailin came in the kitchen several days ago with these fairy wings on (she put them on herself while in her room) and asked for some pizza. Ha! So I served her up some pizza and grabbed the camera, of course!

Yesterday was a decent weather day so we took advantage of it and went to the park. This is a pic of just before we left. She always looks so grown up to me with pig-tails, though I'm not sure why.

This was her this morning on the way out the door to go to church. She gets ready easily when she knows she's going to church. Every other day it's a struggle! She's always ready to see Alta, Thurman (her church grandparents) and Karimah, Sarah (girls in our Sunday school class. She told me this morning, "I ready to go to church. I ready to sing Hallelujah." That's at the end of a song that we sing. She's such a little socialite at church. She holds out her hand when people greet her to shake their hand, just like the grown-ups.

This is what the birds are tweating about around our house today! I know I am way too funny! Ha,ha! We made these birdseed biscuits in our Sunday school class this morning. Warren and I teach the 4th, 5th and 6th grade class. I got the idea out of the Family Fun magazine. I thought they came out cute. A little Valentine treat for the birdies.

I've got to scrap several new pages in Cailin's books lately. I'll take some pics of them and share them on the next post. Bye!
