Father's Day & Other Stuff

Happy Father's Day!

Today is technically Husband's second Father's Day, as we had received our foster care license and had two children placed in our home during Father's Day last year. For his first Father's Day, I got Husband some gag gifts-- Super Mario pajama pants, a tie, and a nose hair trimmer. Stereo-typical Father's Day presents.

This year I got him something he wanted. An Iron Gym. It's that thing that you can hang on your door frame so you can do pull-ups. Google it. You'll be like "oh, yeah-- THAT thing." I swear he wanted it. He's been talking about it for like, a year.

In other news:

* Elise is great at rolling onto her side now. She goes from her back to her side all the time by lifting her legs into the air and using their weight to tip her one direction or the other.

* Elise has figured out how to splash in the bath tub. Now she won't stop kicking her legs. And getting me all wet.

* Elise weighed 12 1/2 pounds today.

  1. Yay for rolly-polly! Andrew accidentally flipped himself from his tummy to his back a couple of times. I say accidentally because it surprised him and he cried both times. He was pushing up on his arms forcefully both times and toppled more than rolled. Still herky-jerky at that one.

    Last week Andrew kicked his feet and flapped his arms around to splash water all over the carpet when I bathed him in his whale tub. What fun! Usually he just gets this "ooh, this feels nice" relaxed look, but he's started splashing occasionally. It prompted me to sing him "splish splash i was taking a bath . . ." He loves to kick during tummy time also. He loves to kick off my hand to scoot on the floor.
