I took a trip with the kiddos to Georgia (all by myself going, and then coming back with the help of Grandma) at the beginning of the month. Dad was having neck surgery and Randy was going to be in town, so I decided to head to Rome also (thanks Eric for letting me go!).
Mom & Dad have two dogs. This one is Tuesday, she was Mamma & Granddaddy's dog... Granddaddy found her on Tuesday, hence the name. Kathryn at first was scared of the dogs which didn't make sense because she had been around them before. But by the end she was chasing them around.
I bought Andrew a bouncy chair at one of the local consignment stores so he had something to do while we were there. If he's laying on the ground, Kathryn won't give him any rest. He seemed to like it and even took a couple of naps in it.
I took Kathryn's "bouncy ball" with us. She was playing with Uncle Randy and the ball hit her in the chest. She thought it was the greatest thing. Randy would throw the ball, she would giggle, and then give him the ball back. This went on for at least 10 minutes.

Dad went out for something and Kathryn had to go with him. I don't remember who started picking the weeds but Kathryn had fun. Course Dad was pulling the entire weed and Kathryn was just pulling the tops off. She would pull a bunch and then throw it in the pile.
One afternoon we went to the mall in Rome for lunch. We let Kathryn blow a little energy at the play area. She had so much fun. Our mall doesn't have anything like this. She was also a little bit of a bully. She ran smack into two different kids when running around the corner. I can't say too much. The first boy was running too. The second, a little girl, was barely walking and the mom with her wasn't paying much attention and smack she went down. Kathryn didn't seem phased at all. She would get up and say "I okay."
On the way home, we stopped at Grandma & Grandpa's. Kathryn was cooking Daddy an egg complete with hot sauce. Thankfully it wasn't a real egg for the amount of hot sauce she used! Grandma then drove back with me which made stopping for feedings a lot easier!
This is a typical Andrew picture.... lying down and smiling. He is always smiling. He is such a flirt! Most of his play time is me trying to keep Kathryn off of him. She loves Andrew and always wants to give him kisses and hugs. Thankfully he doesn't mind.
I finally got his crib cleaned out! Yay!! and his room is almost only his room. He did take a nap in his crib yesterday. We are one step closer to getting him in there at night. He loved the Georgia Tech mobile. He would get so excited and all those limbs were moving like crazy. And the smiles!!
Like I said, if Andrew is somewhere she can get, Kathryn has to be there also. This may be my only problem getting him into his crib... is keeping her out!
Isn't he such a cutie!
