Update on walking

So I know this really isn't a big deal to most because all kids walk who can. But as a parent you think everything your kid does is great. So today took McKay on a walk like always. We I got home I got him out of the stroller and set him on the ground, or I guess more tried. He wouldn't sit down he just stood their getting mad at me because he wouldn't to push the stroller. I was trying to put the stroller away and he starts walking all my himself to the stroller. I just stood there wondering what just happened. I wanted to call Michael and tell him but was 8:56 am and his test was starting in 4 min. So the news had to wait. He walks when we coach him, and somebody is on the other side, but I guess we really wanted the stroller. He is a funny boy. And very stubborn.

My little big weed!!!

So today we took McKay to his GI Dr, for his last appointment. (Yeah) We took him off his medication last month, so we were just following up. I'm so happy is he doing better with the throwing up. Anyways back to my weed, this kid just keeps growing. Since he was born he has grown an inch every month. I think it is funny, even when he's not gaining weight his going up somewhere. At this appointment he was 30 inches tall (86+ %) and weighs 21 lb 11oz (50%). He is getting to be a big boy, OK not really.Because when I think of big boy I think of rolls of fat and McKay does not have that. He still only has 2 little bottom teeth.

Finished part 2 Changing pad


I finished the changing pad. Don't ever try to sew plastic. It's hard to sew. I guess unless you know what you are doing. It kept sticking to my sewing machine and getting stuck. But it is done. Now I just need to send it. It's not great or prefect. But hey it's a changing pad designed to get pooh on it.

The edges are the worst part, I was going to do somthing fancy but it wasn't working out and it was becoming to thick for my sewing machine. Better luck next time.

McKay's music

We had stake conference today, and it was a rodeo with McKay. To make it short, we started in the chapel but McKay didn't want to stay still, so we moved to the Relief Society room with the rest of the cowboys. There was a live video feed and audio to a TV, on one of those huge rolling TV carts.

McKay was crawling around and then he spotted the TV stand. He crawled over there as fast as he could and starts banging on the bottom tray. Michael goes to get him. We finally let him free again he goes racing right up there again. This times he climbs on it. I wasn't too worried at this point, because there wasn't much noise.

He crawled all over the bottom shelf and then sat up and looked at us like: "Aren't you coming to get me?" and thinking what he could do next. Then he starts flapping his arms and moving his feet. That's when he discovered he could make a scratching sound with his foot -- and his face just lit up.

I still safety pin his socks together -- weird, I know -- and sometimes the safety pin gets left in one of the socks. That is how he was making his music. I started laughing too hard, and, because McKay had been successful, Michael had to hustle up back in front of everybody to get him. Oh, what a funny little boy.

It finished!!

I finished this hideous blanket. I know it's not very cute. But it is done.

Matching burp clothes. I have a red one too. Now I'm trying to making a changing pad. Not as easy as I thought it would be. Mainly because the plastic keeps getting stuck. And I realize, I don't know how to sew. I get all the fabric to make all these project. And when it comes down to it. I realize I know nothing about sewing. Once again another class I need to take if I ever get the time.
