Cowgirl Meewee

Today was mostly good, but with a couple of sad moments. We played outside a while. Actually Neely and I hung out on the porch swing with her in her bear coat(Thanks Ken and Joanne):
Paige and Cason played on the swings a while, at least until we "discovered" that Gia's been using the playground as a toilet. And when I say "discovered" I mean everyone of us walking folk had to take our shoes off before coming in the house.
Actually I'm pretty sure this picture was taken RIGHT after I told them about my first "discovery", and they were checking it out with disgusted looks on their faces.

Speaking of taking our shoes off, I noticed when Paige was about to remove her boots, that one of them had a passenger, in the form of her llama finger puppet.
We came in, and Cason turned Neely into "Cowgirl Meewee".
Then we did tummy time and she ROLLED OVER! The kids always get right in her face to encourage her, and this time they were sort of off to the side. So after a minute I asked them to switch sides, so she wouldn't only be developing the muscles of half her body. Right when she figured out where they were, she tried to lift up on her arms a little, and suddenly rolled to the left, and ended up on her back, startled. Then she cried, so I'm not sure she'll do it again any time soon. :) Both Paige and Cason were 4 months old before they ever rolled, and even then they took a while to do it again after the first time, so Neely surprised me today. And herself, ha.

She was 2 months old on Monday, so we had her checkup today. Last time she was 97th percentile for length, 95th for weight, and 90th for head size. This time, she was 95th for all three. 12 lbs, 13 oz, and 24 inches long. Everything looked good, but THEN she had to get her shots. Poor baby was NOT happy. All the babies cried a little of course, but she was REALLY mad about it. She did well the rest of the day until about 4:30, and she's been pretty sad most of the evening. :(

On a happier note, here are a couple of conversations Paige and Cason had playing Mario Kart earlier:

Paige(at the beginning of a race at the treacherous Rainbow Road): "Be careful Cason." (Said in a grave voice)

Cason: "Okay. I don't want to fall."

And another:

Paige: "CASON!!! I got a ROCKET!! (It's actually a bullet and she turns into it and it makes her really fast for a minute)

Cason: "OH, You're so byoofull!"

Paige: "I'm NOT BEAUTIFUL!" (said in a tone that showed she thought it was ridiculous for him to call a rocket beautiful)

Cason: "Oh yeah, ya ARE."
