So. Anyways....Moving on. Kjerstin is now 7 months, and she is already pulling herself up on shit?! WHAT THE HELL. Sorry for the swearing, but it is totally necessary. She went from sitting up to practically standing in a matter of minutes. Girl ain't got time for that. Gavin and I were playing on the floor in their bedroom, and I had K in the crib (set at the highest setting/newborn height) and all of a sudden I hear her "struggling" and look up and here she is about to pull herself over the damn crib! WTF. I couldn't believe it. (will post pic later). Because, yes, I did take a picture....
She seriously, is just an amazement. 100% energy all the time, she CONSTANTLY moving, and the wiggliest baby I have ever held in my life. She loves to be held, but she doesn't want that to hold her back from the action, and her pilates/yoga. So she does it while being held. It is a workout for me too. I think I have said it before, but she is the reason there are weird safety warnings on everything. She was able to untie the breathable crib bumpers. They were double knotted, and on the OUTSIDE of the crib. I just, can't even. I love her so much, but all I can say is, pray for me.
Kjerstin has the most beautiful eyes. I hope that they stay the same color, because now they are half green half blue. The insides of the iris are blue and the outside is green, they are gorgeous. And they are big, she has big eyes and long eyelashes. We are in for some trouble when she gets older. Her smile though is what gets you, she smiles with her entire face. I referred to it as like the grinch smile, not in a menacing way, but the way the cartoon slowly smiles and then it eventually involves his entire face, that is what she does. It is so cute.
The two kids and I got our flu shots yesterday, and it was really poor timing because we all have a little bit of a cold (Ryan included). I have had it for like 3 weeks, but I swear my symptoms change every day. I could tell Kjerstin didn't feel very good because she stayed still for over a minute and let me snuggle her. Gavin, the poor thing, is a snotty mess. But like with Kjerstin, it does involve extra snuggle time, so I am trying to remain positive. It is so trying being a parent when you feel like total crap. All Ryan and I want to do is sleep, more so than usual!
Speaking of which, I will finish this post later in an update, because I am going to bed!
