6 months old
Baby Cait is 6 months. The time has really flown by. She is doing great. She is such an easy baby. She went to her well visit and she was 18lb (85%) and 27 in (95%). I know that she is getting heavier but she doesn't really seem that big to me. Maybe it is because Brenten and Landon are always hovering over her and they look huge next to her.
She is eating rice cereal and various veggies. She loves the puffed cereal. If anyone else is eating and she isn't she will stare us down and cry. Pretty funny really. But really I don't blame her, those smashed up peas look terrible. She rolls and scoots around the floor on her back. She is sitting up kind of. She does well until she gets distracted and then tips over. She jibber jabbers like crazy. the boys are certain she says hi.
She loves to sit in front of her basket of toys. She can be content there for so long. I love it.
Dilemma
Brenten can be the sweetest boy. He amazes me the way his mind thinks sometimes. Not at all what I expected today. Here's our dilemma. Christian and I play on a softball team and our games are Friday nights. We signed Brenten up for soccer and I was guessing his games would be Saturdays (like baseball was). Well, I was wrong. All of his soccer games are at 6 on Fridays. Now there isn't a problem if our softball game is at 8 or 9 but the 6 and 7 games we will have to make a choice. I found out that our next Friday game is at 6.
Me: Brenten we need to talk.
B: What?
Me: I just found out that our softball game is at 6
B: Oh, I feel so bad mom. I am not going to get to see your game. I am just going to have to go with the Garcia's to my soccer game and when you get home you will have to tell me about your game.
Me: Brenten I feel bad because we will be missing your first soccer game.
B: I know I feel bad that I won't get to go to your game too.
No matter what I said he just kept coming back to how bad he felt because he was missing our game. So cute. Christian and I feel very strongly about sticking to our commitments and following through but I am already feeling terrible.

we still have mullets
Okay so the mullets were supposed to be gone Monday. It is now Thursday and it won't get done tonight and tomorrow night we have softball so hopefully it will be done on Saturday. If not I may just have to take it into my own hands. If I comment on it, Christian just smiles. I think he is trying to see how long he can keep the mullets.

Mom I am a Lawyer
So Brenten and I were in the car and my IPOD had died. When this happens Brenten usually asks a ton a questions. It usually starts off well and then gets funny pretty quick. So yesterday's topic was school/career choices. I don't know what brought this on. Maybe it is his anticipation of Kindergarten. Anyway, he was asking what you have to do to be a fireman, policeman, doctor, teacher. and then he started asking me what other jobs there are so I started naming people that he knew and what jobs they have and what they have gone to school for. The last one we got to was our friend "climber" Matt.
Me: Climber Matt just finished school so he can be a lawyer.
B: What does he do?
Me: There are lots of different lawyers but he wants to be a business lawyer. So he will tell different companies different things they can do and can't do so they can follow the laws and not get into trouble.
B: Well, I think I am already a lawyer.
Me: What????
B: I already tell on people all the time and I also say when they are saying bad words and that keeps them from getting into trouble.
Me: Laughing
B: Don't tell Dad because he will think I need to be older first and go to lots of school but you already know I am a Lawyer.
I didn't have the heart to tell him there is a little difference between a tattle tale and a lawyer. one of which is the pay scale. I love this kid.
