Lovely weekend



Solomon is pictured above in his new ducky sleeper. It has a duck tail on the back.. very cute! I have posted a few new videos below. They are short and sweet and I sound a little psycho in the second one! :) We have a better one of him giggling, really giggling, on our regular video camera, but I haven't transferred it to the computer yet. Also, we have posted a few more pictures of him on our gallery at: http://www.haverhillstudios.com/gallery/albun04


'Twas a lovely weekend. My friend, Chris, and I used to enjoy using words such as 'twas, 'tis and other made-up versions for our own entertainment such as tw'eeks (two weeks), 'titis (it is). It still cracks me up. That was a side bar really.


I took Solomon on a walk in the stroller on Saturday. It was great weather. I just bundled him a little and put on my sweats and even worked up a little sweat. He loved it, but fell asleep of course about halfway through. It was fun. We also went grocery shopping. We had almost nothing. Even I could barely find anything to eat and that's saying something because I will make weird conglomerations and eat them. Alex says I'm gross, but I don't care. I love my weird mixes. :) Plus, we all know that boys are gross and girls aren't!


Solomon continues to cough a lot, but then will go hours not coughing at all. I think it's just clearing out. He slept a little better, but is still waking up due to coughing at night. This morning Alex was changing him and Solomon did one of those quick flails which sent his head right into the backboard of the changing table. I heard it in the next room. Of course, he started crying. I went in to comfort him, but instead had to comfort Alex. He was so upset about it. It didn't even get too red on Solomon's forehead. It just scared him (solomon and Alex too) I think. Hopefully he'll be cough free soon.


We watched the KU vs. NE game on Saturday. It was a blowout, so it was fun to watch in the way that blowouts are fun to watch. I guess they are much more relaxing to watch. That's for sure.


We took Solomon to my parents' house on Sunday for a few hours. It was great. We went to Target and cell phone shopping for me. Alex went to play flag football and I cleaned the house and read my book. It was fantastic. My mom made us potato soup for dinner. Yummy!


My book club meeting is Thursday and I still need to read about 250 pages! I feel like I'm back in high school when we had to read a book almost every week and I always felt rushed and had to divide the number of pages in the book by the number of days I had to read it. It's a great book though so hopefully I can get through it in the next few days.

Girl, that post was so enjoyable. I loved the photo and the videos are adorable. I love it when you say in your mommy voice, "Yummy rice cereal!" Cracks me up what we sound like when we are entertaining or feeding our kiddos. Solomon's eyes are so sparkly and he has such a great smile! It lights up his whole face. I just love him. Come visit us soon.

Ditto on all Erin said. Parent videos of them talking to their babies are so funny. It all sounds very familiar! GREAT videos!

That cracks me up. It's so funny to see or listen to yourself make a fool of yourself just to make the kid smile! Little Solomon looks like he's going to sink into his high chair. I love it!

Welcome to Kelly's world!!!
