The kids and other stuff

Tiffany has finally started to crawl!!! After a couple of months of me putting her on the floor until she cried finally paid off! She hasn't quite grasped the concept of putting her knees under herself to help, but she does pull herself along with her arms. It's so cute! We took her to the doctor yesterday to finally get her caught up on her shots (Yes, I know. You don't have to say it!!! I already beat myself up for them not being on time!) and she got weighed and measured. She is 27 and 1/2 inches tall and weighs 18 lbs. 7 1/4 oz. She is getting sooo big! A very big valuable lesson for me today is that she does NOT like green beans with turkey. What is it with the green veggies? Do all babies (except John) hate them? She is also over her ears hurting and Dr.Kelley says that she is def. teething and her top teeth should be coming very soon.

John does so much better with Dr.Kelley. He hates female doctors. He doesn't mind nurses. He sat there so nicely while Dr.Kelley checked his ears and his breathing. He is 37 1/2 inches tall and weighs a whopping 38 lbs.!!!! He is also over his ear ache. John is still eating just about everything in sight.

Yesterday was also Jimmie's 14th birthday. Joy. She is getting older and making me feel like I belong in a museum (not saying that I AM old or that anyone else is!!! We all know how teens can make you feel old no matter what age you are!). I hope she had a good day despite my mom and her bad mood.

Which, I think she is in a permanent bitch mood when it comes to Steve and I. Yes, I know, I hate the fact that we are again living in her house. That does not mean that she has any right to disrespect us. I guess that people who are not in our "family" of Firefighters and Medics will never understand the scheduling of the person who works in either field (or both) or how draining it can be on that person. No matter how hard I try to make her understand, she still wants to complain that Steve is trying to alienate himself from the family anytime we have a get together (which always happens the day he gets off from a 24 hour shift).

And, speaking of Steve...Thank you so much for apologizing to Momma T. I know that she greatly appreciates it.

Cat, I hate that you and your family (husband and wife that is) are having to go through this tough time. I know that I have never met you, but you are free to email or call me at anytime! Just let me know if you want either of them!

Well, I think that is enough for the day. I hope everyone has a better weekend than they have had for this week.

They grow up so fast dont they? Its amazing how fast that happens. Seems like only yesterday my god son was born and he's 2 1/2 yrs now. Scary how time flies. Sorry about the living arrangements. I know that sucks. been there did that, and hated it. Just remember, this too shall pass! :-) Thank you for your kind words. Makes me feel so much better to know there are people out there that truly care.
