Paper Chase

Shame on me! It's been almost a week since my last post. But I've my reasons (ok, excuses). My back's been aching - she's heavy. I've been super tired - lack of sleep. And well, Mikey just started his new job so we're all adjusting to the new schedule and whatnot.

Kayla's bruise is fast disappearing. Her babysitter explained that she took her eyes off her for just a couple of seconds to check on her son, Jonah, and that's when she fell and hit a plastic toy (couldn't quite catch the name of the toy but it rhymed with wiggles i think). I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it's never going to happen again.

This week, Kayla also consumed some bits of paper. I was to blame. Was working on the computer when she reached out for a magazine mailer. I gave it to her thinking she was going to flip the pages, only to find out, minutes later and to my horror, that she had chewed up a huge chunk off one corner! She had paper bits all over her mouth but the rest of it was in her tummy, I presumed. Great, I thought, maybe we'll find a Post-It in her poop.

Another milestone: Someone gave us one of those doorway jumpers where she can basically bounce up and down for hours in. For two days, she couldn't quite figure out how to use it. To bounce, she technically has to push off both feet... but I guess she didn't feel safe enough to do that. Today, she started pushing off one foot and it's pretty hilarious.

Did I miss anything? I'm sort of writing this in a huge rush cos my bed beckons and my back pain is near unbearable. I'm hoping sleep will be my cure-all.
