May 8, 2008

Last night at 1:00 a.m. I heard someone calling, "Mama Bear! Mama Bear!" James was calling me upstairs to get him a drink of water. This is the second time he's called me Mama Bear, I think it's sweet! He's getting that from the gobs of Little Bear that he's been watching on Noggin. Sick kid= TV overtime. Ha. Poor thing couldn't do anything else.
He's doing better today, but wouldn't you know he seems to have a cold now on top of the strep.
Kaitlyn has been saying her first word for about two weeks now (maybe three). She says, "Hi!" It sounds more like "I" than "hi", but it means hi for sure. It's so cute to see my little girl walking around saying, "HI!" She says it to me when I walk into the room, and she loves to say hi to people when we are at the grocery store and such. People are taken aback. They won't be paying attention to us, and then they'll hear a little "hi", and then they turn around and see this little girl beaming at them the cutest little smile. They can't resist and then laugh and say hi back. It's so funny.
Kaitlyn likes to wander over to the island in the kitchen and scoot the stools on the floor. She was sitting there today doing it over and over again, in a very steady rhythm, making that annoying errrrrrr, eeeeeee, errrrrr, eeeeeee sound with the chair and James says, "Mom! Kaitlyn is making music!" Music to my ears.
