Wichita

Today Neely is 12 weeks old. I mentioned she recently became more interested in the toys hanging on her playmat. Today she grabbed one by choice for the first time.
She's randomly accidentally gotten a hand or finger hooked on one before and then couldn't let go. Ha. But today she purposely grabbed it and was trying to eat it.
Soon after that she fell asleep while I was feeding her, so I carefully put her on the ground to sleep in her boppy...
...while I colored with Paige and Cason.
Paige colored a couple pages in a coloring book and then drew and colored her own picture of a "berry tree forest" which she gave to Grama later.
Cason scribbled for a while and then got bored, and returned to Buzz. :)
Cason also had his first appointment with the eye doctor today. Jess went in with him, and he said he was SO good. They had a giant Buzz Lightyear toy in the waiting room, so his first impression of the place was good. That helped I guess. :)

Cason also took my camera and took literally about a hundred pictures today. Here's a sample, Swimmy's aquarium:
Tonight Paige wanted to watch Veggie Tales, and we didn't really watch any movies or shows on Netflix today, so I said she could. While she watched it, the rest of us were hanging out in our bed. Cason had Buzz, Woody, and Jessie. He made me be Woody and Jess was Jessie. We were playing and Jess(Jessie) came up to Buzz and goes "Hi, I'm Jessie! I'm from Oklahoma. The Wichita area." I started cracking up and said "Wichita, Oklahoma?!" Almost as soon as I said it I realized there might be a Wichita in Oklahoma too, and I was just going to make a fool of myself by teasing him. But then he looked embarrassed, so I figured I had beat him at something geographical for once.

But of course upon checking it out, I've found that there IS a Wichita, Oklahoma. He's outside working out while I blog, so I still don't know if he let me think I was right or if he wasn't sure enough about it to argue with me.

Anyhoo, yesterday Paige started pouring salt from the shaker all over the dining table. I told her not to do that because it was making a mess. She goes "You should put it where we can't reach it." Ha. She said it all politely too, without a trace of attitude. She really wasn't being rude, just giving me some helpful child-proofing advice. Haha.

She also wrote a song the other day when we went to pick Jess up from work:

"OH I love my daddy! He's so special. I'm gonna give him a Valentimes(her pronunciation, gotta make sure I don't get called out for any typos) card on Valentimes DAAAY!"
