Cold Baby!

Keegan and I got out in the snow before it all melted away! Keegan was quite fascinated with it (and so was I, hehe).

So here's the latest on our trip to the Grand Cayman Islands. Due to weather condition across the southeast, especially in Atlanta (they're getting a TON of snow), our flight for tonight to Atlanta has been cancelled. I'm currently trying to figure out what we can do, but it looks like if we do go still, we won't go until Sunday or Monday. We'll see!

Rule #234. Teach your children the value of money and the importance of saving.

Snow? In Louisiana!?

That's right folks! It snowed all day yesterday, all through the night (we lost power for almost four hours at 2:30 this morning!) and it still snowing a little bit now! Our area looks like a winter wonderland (maybe not to those of you reading from Germany, but for a girl who's only seen snow a maximum of 10 times in her life, it's really exciting!!). These were all taken at around 6:30 this morning, after snowing all day and night and still snowing!

Keegan and I are headed to the Grand Cayman Islands tonight with my mom and little sister Paityn, so you won't be hearing from us for a little bit! Enjoy!

Rule #233. Avoid any church that has cushions on the pews and is considering building a gymnasium.

LillyPie

I've updated the LillyPie counter that tells how old Keegan is. I also added one to let everyone know how far along in the pregnancy I am. :)

Here's what's going on this week with our little unborn baby (taken from 3DPregnancy): Your baby can make a fist and even suck his or her thumb this week—both skills that are über-cute during infancy ... and not so much at the age of 9. If you're really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of baby's thumb sucking on an ultrasound photo. That's a framer! Other exciting developments include:

Your baby's eyelids are fused shut to protect his eyes as they develop. His bones and skull are solidifying and soon itsy-bitsy ribs may appear. (Baby ribs! How cute is that?!) Baby's intestines are finally right where you want them—in his or her belly instead of poking out into the umbilical cord. Baby's tooth sockets are all loaded and ready to pop out baby teeth six or seven months after baby is born (causing baby a lot of pain and you a lot of lost sleep).

Who's that singing? Elton John? Could be your baby: His vocal cords and larynx are completed now.

Your baby-to-be now weighs about 20 grams and is nearly 3 inches long, or about the size of a Nutter Butter, covered in chocolate. OK, it doesn't have to be covered in chocolate, but isn't everything better that way?

Rule #232. Keep your promises.

Pants On The Ground!

There has been a new sensation to come across America. For those of you that don't know about it, American Idol is a singing competition with auditions in the major cities all over America to find the best singer in the nation. You must be between 16 and 28 to compete. The last audition in Atlanta this year was a man by the name of General Larry Platt, at 62 years old. They let him sing his song, which is now a huge hit. It's a Larry Platt Original, called "Pants On The Ground." (click to see the video of his audition). Here are the lyrics to his song:

Pants on the ground

Pants on the ground

Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground

With the gold in you mouth

Hat turned sideways

Pants hit the ground

Call yourself a cool cat

Lookin' like a fool

Walkin' downtown with your pants on the ground

Get it up, hey!

Get your pants off the ground

Lookin' like a fool

Walkin' talkin' with your pants on the ground

Get it up, hey!

Get your pants off the ground

Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground

That's it! Well, here is our tribute to that song :)

Rule #231. Keep a daily journal.

Nothing New..

Just thought I'd upload some pictures from this past week. We haven't had anything new go on, I will be 13 weeks pregnant on Friday. Second Trimester :) Hopefully I'll start feeling better soon, I'm so tired and ready to get rid of this headache!

Here are some pictures of Keegan. In the ones where he's wearing a grey shirt, he was just having a blast running from one side of the bed to the other (oh what it's like to be easily amused, haha) and I couldn't decide on jut one, so here are a few from that!

Having fun in the tub :)

While we have many good days, we have the occasional bad. I think he's teething, poor baby. He has 16 teeth and as far as I know, he shouldn't be getting the last 4 (his 2 year molars?) for a little bit.

He presses a button on one of his music books and throws his hands in the air because it sounds like a celebration. It's soo cute, he LOVES to do this :)

Giving a totally fake smile haha

Rule #230. Keep good company.

Bo Update

On Monday, Bo got his cast off and had to wear this cone up until today, when he got his stitches out. He's still not really walking on his leg, but at least we're getting closer to it being fully usable again! He's recovering nicely and quickly, luckily, and he's still as sweet as can be. The vet said he's probably the coolest cat they've ever had in there :)

Someone asked if he's peeing on the carpet here. He's not, this was right when he got home with the cone on his head and if you look, you can see that the cone is caught behind the bottom of the high chair, and he was trying to get over it.

He had 8 stitches and got them all out today, it looks good!

Rule #229. Never pay for work before it's completed.

Digging For Gold and Those Pearly Whites

Rule #228. Have impeccable manners.
