Our Kids

I am convinced that Landis is lopsided. All her cuts, scrapes and bruises (and she has way more than the girls did) are on her left side. She escapes from almost all high chairs so we have pretty much stopped using them. She escapes from the grocery cart too so she rides in the basket.

Recently we got some new/used bar stools and put in a booster chair that straps on to the chair and that we can strap Landis in. It was working like a real charm, she was up at the counter with the big girls and she loved it. The other morning (after the shindig) I heard a loud crack and then wailing. Landis was up at the counter strapped in her chair and she pulled her legs up and used her feet to launch herself and the chair over backwards hitting her “left” cheek on the way down on the dining room chair. That is one crazy baby:)

Well Saturday night was the big GoDaddy party (where DH works). The good news is that GoDaddy seems to be weathering the economy just fine and the party spared no expense. It was a great time with Sinbad (funnier than I expected), 38 Special (knew more songs than I expected) and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (she was flat out awesome). While we were there Bob Parsons (the founder) gave away over 200K in cash by drawing names out of a hat. It was C-R-A-Z-Y! Two years in a row Jason had had his name drawn out of the hat. It was fun but I think I am still recuperating:)

The girls did super with our sitter Kelly (she is a elem ed senior at ASU). Piper was very much the big sister and sat with Landis and took care of her if she cried. Kelly watched Piper and then Lela watched herself:) All was well until bed time when Lela got upset. Piper filled her big sis role as usual and came out to tell Kelly that Lela was very sad and wanted her mommy. Landis was a real stinker and slept the entire time except for once when she woke up and saw that it was still Kelly watching her so she went back to sleep. I wish she would do that for me, LOL!
