Month 5- Rolling over, Diva King, and Jumping

Our little man is rolling over all the time now. He's got that part nailed. I can't believe how fast he is growing already. Lately he's been such a "diva king" when we aren't in his site and holding him, he's crying for us. We have tried to make him be more independent so we can get things done around the house while we watch him, but he won't have it. We pulled out the jumperoo and he LOVES it- another Kelson trait he inherited. Now that he is able to reach the ground he jumps like crazy. He still smiles more than any other baby I know and what a great personality. He is such a WONDERFUL morning person. He is still sleeping in the playyard in our bedroom, but I think after Theana's wedding, next weekend, WOW! we are gonna try to start putting him in his own crib. He doesn't get up during the night much anymore and is sleeping usually around 9pm-7:30/8am- pretty good for a 5 month old. What a great snuggler he is too. Kelson has been getting up several times during the night to sleep with us, we are trying really hard to avoid her doing that often, as we like to have some alone time when we can, plus she needs to learn to be in her own bed when its bed time. But then again I think about the future and when we will BEG for her to come snuggle and cuddle with us, so a lot of those memories make me want to hang on to her snuggling with us at night. Last weekend Jason played at the Gaylord Opryland hotel for a Boeing function and since I had the kids, I stayed at the Raddison hotel with them to hang out at the pool. This was his first time in a pool, the water was pretty cool, although it was supposed to be heated. Kelson had a BLAST and did very well swimming. We all dipped in the hot tub too- Janson seemed to like that, but since it was so hot we didn't stay in there long. Jason also watched Kelson and I play in the pool while he chilled in his stroller. Tomorrow, April 6th Jason gets to go to Vanderbilt for his first round of botox shots. We are PRAYING that it works the way we hope it will. Those shots are expensive, but the label is paying for them- thank goodness. I just hope he gets the results we have been hoping for. Heartland's new song should be coming out at the end of May, so I hope that Jason's voice will get better so he can record the next song in the studio. The other lead singer, Chad, has a phenominal voice as well so good luck to them all!

It was bound to happen

So I came home from work and noticed that Kelson's hair looked layered. Knowing that I hadn't cut her hair and that its normally straight across I asked her to come see me. When i did I grabbed her hair and it was short - like 5 inches- in the front than in the back. I said OMG, Kelson did you cut your hair!? She just looked at me and said she didn't know she wasn't supposed to and said she wanted to look like her friend Lola. Funny thing was Jason had been at home with her all day and didn't notice at all. So I made her go to her room for 10 minutes and told her that she wasn't allowed to use scissors for a month. She was more devistated that I was mad at her than anything. She is such a tender hearted child. So I told her that we would talk about it after she got out of time out. Honestly the cut was rather cute, but I wasn't gonna tell her that. So I went into her playroom and saw the glob of hair and scissors right next to it- LOL! I guess she was telling me that she wanted a summer haircut. I'm just so glad that it wasn't her bangs like most kids do, especially since Theana's wedding is next week. My feedback from facebook is that all kids do this- boys and girls- so I knew not to get too angry. She is a very smart girl and realized what she had done wrong and promises to only let mommy and Stacey cut her hair from now on. I took her to the beauty shop a few days later to get it all one length. It turned out cute... little schmuck! Ah- so it begins :) I have to admit she did look miserable and so sad in the before picture-- LOL! That's not my sweet Kelson.
