Firsts

The past few days have brought us a few "firsts".
1. First time Kaitlyn was introduced to the beloved Jumpy. Like her brother, it took her about 5 seconds to realize how super fun this contraption was. Now, it's the only thing she wants to be in. Even when she's in her saucer, she's crashing it trying to bounce. James is a-ok with his sister's new toy once it passed the tractor test (that is, anything is acceptable if he can still drive his tractor around it).




2. Kaitlyn turned 5 months on mommy's birthday. Now we were hoping for the first tooth but it has still yet to pop thru. Just be careful passing any hand, arm or face past Kaitlyn's mouth because she is sure to grab hold and shove whatever she can into her mouth and begin chomping.


3. The first trip to the ER for James. This frightful event happend on mom's watch while we prepared for Mr Turtle school. James lost his footing while maneuvering past Kaitlyn's toys and smashed his chin against the frame of the couch. Instant swelling and loss of jaw opening ability prompted us to pay the dentist a visit and then proceed to the ER. Thankfully, there were no chipped teeth or broken bones. Just a very sore little boy. It didn't end on a bad note though, Daddy came home from work that night with some beloved characters from the movie Cars to cheer up the boy.

I love his grin...and Kaitlyn's new bouncer toy! What a tough guy (and Mom) to survive the fall with a big smile...new cars, of course, always help. :)
