Pull ups
Thursday, June 24th, 2004The girls are changing each new day. Their newest thing is pulling up to anything and everything. The only problem with this new found skill is that once they are standing up they are not sure how to get down. So they end up falling a lot. They have not sustained any [...]
She’s Got Rhythm
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004A couple of weeks ago, we were eating at Havana Café—great food, by the way—when a musician came out and started playing Latin music. To everyone’s surprise, Kimberly started bobbing her head in time to the music and dancing in her high chair. I was so impressed by this breakthrough that I bought his CD [...]
Father’s Day
Sunday, June 20th, 2004So today was my first Father’s Day and it was a blast. Unfortunately, Kimberly woke me up at 5 a.m. and so it started a bit earlier than I would have liked. The family bought me The Simpsons Season 4 DVD and I watched four or five episodes immediately.
We spent the rest of the day [...]
ICK ICK ICK
Friday, June 18th, 2004ICK! ICK! ICK! Annie got her first taste of cat food today! Darla decided to bring some out to her and share. I got the piece out of her mouth and she was not happy about it. Hopefully she has not gotten a taste for it.
Army Man
Thursday, June 17th, 2004Speaking of Kimberly’s army-man style of crawling, I’m going to take some video of her soon and put it up here for you all to see. I’m not kidding when I say that she is a speed demon; I’ve never seen a child crawl as fast as she does. The other cute thing about her [...]
Kimmie is 8 months old!
Thursday, June 17th, 2004Kimmie turned 8 months old today!
Each time she does this I can hardly believe that it has been this long. She has changed us so much.
She celebrated the day with her Uncle Jake and cousins, Ryan, Joey, and Wyatt. They had fun playing with them. Made for quite an eventful day, [...]
Big Girl Bath
Tuesday, June 15th, 2004As of Sunday the girls have started bathing in the big girl bathtub.
They were being bathed in the infant bath ever since their belly buttons fell off. Yeah, you can picture that, water was splashing all over the place. The girls were way too big, and something had to be done. So, [...]
Two crawlers
Tuesday, June 15th, 2004Well, seems as though Kimmie does not want to go unnoticed. Today she got up on her knees and crawled. When she ended her crawling, she sat down! These are both new milestones for her. She keeps on practicing sitting up. What a big girl!
Annie’s boo-boo count has gone up [...]
We have a crawler
Sunday, June 13th, 2004Look out world the Brown Girls are coming!!!
Today Annie got up on her knees and crawled. What a big girl! She is so determined to do everything. I could hardly believe my eyes. Now she is doing it all the time. So that means I am going to be watching [...]
My Little Boo-boo
Friday, June 11th, 2004Annie got her first big owie today. She fell on a toy and cut her eye. It is pretty bruised and she may have her first black eye She has become such a daredevil that I am sure it will not be her last. So much for me having dainty [...]
Couch Potato In Training
Sunday, June 6th, 2004I know what they say, but I watched television constantly (so much so, in fact, that that show Dream On! was hauntingly familiar) and I turned out just fine. My daughter, apparently, was spellbound this morning by a children’s show featuring hands. I watched a bit of it last week—as much as I could stand—and [...]
It’s Official
Friday, June 4th, 2004It’s official: Kimberly is a Brown. Her hearing was yesterday at 3 pm. She was handled by the same judge who did Bill’s adoption over 20 years ago. Very neat to see it come full circle.
The ceremony is not very interesting. They just verify our names and that we are fit to [...]
Bill’s Thoughts on the Swimming Lessons
Tuesday, June 1st, 2004As Sandi said, the swimming instructor is pretty strict. She pushes The Girls’ hands onto the pool deck until they open their hands, she tells them to zip it and pushes them underwater, and generally ignores their incessant crying. But it works and if a little roughness around the edges saves my girls’ lives then [...]
