Whoever has the slow computer, I apologize for the slideshows and I will try to post each picture individually. However, please note that individual pictures from the slideshow can be viewed by clicking on the slideshow.
Anyhow, on with the news:
We bought a new house this month. :) We are uber excited. Bachan has been with us since the end of February. Jichan came in last week for a week to experience our weird snow phenomenon. We would have posted pics of KP in the snow, but then we figured that would just be proof of bad parenting on our part when he had to go to the hospital. :) So, KP didn't get to experience this snowstorm.
Bachan and Jichan worked very very hard to help us get the new house in order. By the time Jichan left, we had paint on the walls and floors in half the rooms. Grandad Lynn, Grandma Sheri, and Mimi came over and helped paint as well. Cousin Mario came and helped us get started on the floors, and man, was he a help! He knows all the little tricks to make things go a bit faster...and I think we turned him on to a new toy in the process...so, expect a project involving a compound miter saw in Mario's future. :)
We just realized that we don't have any pictures of us, the for sale sign, and the actual house...oops. :) But there is the for sale sign that is no longer residing in our front yard...and there is our neighbor's house...and our intersection. :)On March 9, KP had his first solid foods. We started out with rice cereal, because I was always told that more of it ends up on them than in them at first. You be the judge.
The food was sooo good that KP wanted to eat the bowl afterwards.I guess KP caught on early that he always needed to clean his plate.
Anyhow, the next day was even messier, but he really enjoyed it all.
On the 16th, we had some family cuddle time in the morning. Goose, Mommy and KP decided it would be nice to hang out in bed for a while. KP especially loved cuddling with his puppy.
KP was SO excited, that he decided he was in the mood to do tricks. So, we taught him to roll over. :) Goose wanted in on the fun, too. He even wanted to show us that he could roll over, too. :)Then it was time to play. We were going to introduce a new food on the 16th, but due to technical difficulties, we decided to wait. But, Daddy had KP in his seat and already had the camera ready, so KP had to perform! :)
Then it was time to play in our saucer. KP has grown up enough to start using the soundmaker part of the saucer. He is also turning himself around to play with whatever he wants to.
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, we started KP off with smashed peas as his official first solid food. :) For those of you who are wondering, yes we made it at home, and yes they are organic peas.
On March 19, KP was possessed by hysterical fits of laughter that we just had to get caught on tape. :) We finally got out the camera after about 30 minutes of him doing this, so understandably, he peters out a bit at the end....but, man. You should have seen this little guy going! He has definitely discovered his squeal. :)
We've had a lot going on this month. Whew. And a lot more to come.
Coming up in the next episode....
KP will be celebrating his first Easter this Sunday. I hear that the Easter bunny has plans to visit the little man. :) We are all looking forward to his first Easter egg hunt in his new house. It should be lots of fun. So, stay tuned for super cute pictures.
On Monday, KP will be going into surgery again. This time it is for a pretty normal baby boy surgery, but it brings us one surgery closer to the big one. Monday is his hernia repair. We get to report to the hospital bright and early (7am) and hand him over once again. This is the surgery that was postponed because of him contracting RSV. So, this means that we are back on track...8 weeks later...BAH!
I'm still trying to gather the necessary paperwork for Cincinnati, but with everything else going on, I have to admit that it is on the back burner. I think I am going to make a concerted effort today to contact the rest of the doctors to get the reports that we need. Ack. Then it is off to Kinko's I go to make lots and lots of copies.
I do plan to have a conversation with our general surgeon at KPs post-op visit to see what his feelings are about us going to Cincy. I really am interested in his opinion. If he has heard of Cincy, I will feel a lot better. Our pediatrician (whom we absolutely adore!), was like "is there someone special up there or what?" Hmmm...we'll see.
