Memphis was so fun with BB and grandad. We got to play with Lucy and aunt Anna a ton. Grandad was the resident sandbox partner as well as photographer. Because we had Lucy while Anna worked we all took turns and shared the load with three babies. Thank goodness grandad was off work all week! Henry got to meet his great grandma- and that was super sweet. Blakely missed her daddy terribly, and the look on her face when he got home couldn't have been sweeter.
We got back in town, spent the evening with Stephens aunt and uncle and two kids who were passing through Lawrence, and then began the move the next day. We had done little to nothing to prepare to move across town, and being productive with two under two is next to impossible. Luckily my dad came up and several students helped move us- otherwise I'm sure we'd still be working on it.
We moved a few miles away to a duplex. We really love it. Maybe it's just cause we were sick of the responsibility of being homeowners... But we love that this place is smaller and simpler. Our garage could currently star in an episode of Hoarders so we are having a garage sale this weekend.
Blakely turned 20 months old yesterday. Stephen likes to tell me how many months we have with our kids till they go to college- I get mad when he does. I don't want to know how fast it's going to go by!
She welcomed our new house by getting strep. It was pretty sad. She had a high fever for several days. We took her to a walk in clinic and they didn't do anything. Then a day later she broke out all over her body so we took her in again and they said it was a symptom of strep- I had no idea. So she is on antibiotics right now.
She weighs about 22lbs. She is still a skinny little thing. She loves to be outside still. She loves to dance. She loves to play with her babies and imitate whatever I do. She has a new obsession with her binkies- I think cause Henry has one. She ALWAYS asks for it. We try to only let her have it in her bed, so se frequently asks to get in her bed...
She is talking SO much. She says words that I know I never taught her. She says 2 and 3 word sentences. She can count to 10- but only cause she has it memorized. I don't think she gets numbers yet.
She still loves Henry. She loves it when she hears him wake up and she runs in to make sure he doesn't go back to sleep. We are constantly working on our inside voices.
She and daddy have a pretty special relationship right now. He has been spending lots of one on one time with her and he has quickly become her best friend. She has a very hard time when he leaves to work-she throws a fit, as well as when he closes the door to go to the bathroom. :)
