Updates and sweet tooth

So I'm a little behind in the blogging life. Craziness doesn't even begin to describe our lives for the past few weeks. Last weekend Brancent spent the weekend in the mountains while the kiddos and I stayed here to do baby showers and some other things. That Friday morning Jacob had a test to see if he was having any reflux into his kidney. This required a cath so we both spent some time in tears that morning. Like the little trooper he is he was back to smiling when it was all over thus convincing me he didn't hate me. The results showed no reflux so it appears we are done with all of that. Thanks be to God! Katie spent that day with her Aunt Patty having a girly day complete with pedicures, swimming and a "fancy lunch" at a tea room. Katie also got to go with a friend to our local amusement park Saturday night. Tack on the two baby showers...Brancent came home to a very tired family. He had great time in the mountains and we are hoping next summer to all go. This past weekend was a little more relaxing.

Jacob rolled over last Thursday from his back to tummy and of course I was at work. He spends most of his time on his side now which he seem to have discovered is a great way
to pin his hand down to suck on....grrrr. The rest of the time he spends smiling and cooing.

We are having such a great time with Katie here. Our conversations are the best, here is an example:
M: I need to give up Dr.Peppers, but it's hard because I have a sweet tooth.
K: I have a sweet tooth too!
M: Most people do. Do you know who has the biggest sweet tooth?
K: Ummmmmm who?
M: Wayne!
K: Really?......Which tooth is it?
(insert hysterical laughter from Melanie)
M: no, no it's not a real tooth, that just an expression, you know a figure of speech.
(insert lengthy explanation on what a "sweet tooth" and "expressions" and "figure of speech" means)
K: ohhhhhhh ok I thought it was a real tooth. My bad.

I love it! :D
