We went to St. George today for Kaia's 9 month check up. We left about 10 minutes early, so I wouldn't be late. Right after we passed the last exit before the canyon, I realized I forgot Kaia's binky AND her blanket. The two most vital pieces of the child's existence. She was fine for a while. I just kept hoping she could last until Cedar as there is no place else to stop for such items. We hit Beaver around the time her morning nap was due to begin. Items needed for this, the binky and blanket, a bottle will not cut it, and she HAS to have a soft fleece like blanket in order to fall asleep. So for about 45 minutes I heard crying mixed with sqealing. AWESOME! We made it to Cedar and went straight to Wal-Mart. Headed directly to the baby section, do not pass go do not collect $200, only to find they don't carry the kind of binkies she uses. Oh well. I got some that were as close to hers as I could find. Got a cheap fleece blanket, and we were on the road again. Kaia was asleep within minutes. I soon realized we weren't going to be there by 11:40 so I called the doctor to let them know we would be late. The receptionist then informed me that if I was later than 10 minutes I would have to reschedule. Crappy deal for me, I better haul some major @$$!! She decided to transfer me to Dr. Smith's receptionist. I again explained that I was going to be late, and she said that was fine to keep on coming. WHEW!!! I was 15 minutes late. And Kaia got to have her appointment. Crisis avoided.
Kaia is a healthy baby. She is 16 lbs 13 oz and 27 3/4 inches. (that's about the size Jercie was at a year!). Her growth has kind of dropped off a little, but that's because she is mobile now.
She is so stinkin' serious though. She won't laugh. She squeals, and when the laugh is about to bubble out she starts crying instead. She is a mama's girl through and through. She loves her daddy, but she prefers her mommy. It's about time I got one that likes me. lol.
Jercie and Blaze LOVE to fight with eachother. They will fight over anything. After about 5 minutes of listening to it in the car I told them that if they didn't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. A few seconds later Blaze turns to Jercie and says, "I love you sissy." If only that attitude would have lasted all day.
Poor Kaia...Ryan was the same way with his blanket forever! On the way to Battle Mtn for the wedding, the kids kept fighting and Jeremy threatened to pull over and make them pull weeds. lol. It shut them up pretty quick although, the following day, he made Ryan and Brock pull them at the hotel lol.
ReplyDeleteI totally feel for you with the blankie thing. Jake has to take his everywhere. Blaze cracks me up. What a cutie! Glad they are all healthy and that you still got to keep your appt - that would have SUCKED!
ReplyDeleteI remember Brock being the same way with his binki and blanket! I am glad you still got to see the doctor! I can't wait to see how big Kaia has gotten since we last saw her!
