Lady's Days

Ugh... Lady is going home, back to her leisurely lifestyle. That sucks because that means I'm going to have to start taking care of my own children now. Kathryn poops and I yell, "Mom, Kathryn pooped." Then Lady takes her and gets her all cleaned up and doesn't give her back for a couple of hours. She's been spoiling me at night, too. She even gets up and changes Kathryn's diapers for me in the middle of the night. I feed Kathryn then hand her off to Lady and fall right back to sleep. Lady sure is putting Steve in a predicament once she goes home!
Apparently I'm not used to buying hats for kids with normal size heads.
Lady and Nathan are on again/off again friends. Basically, if Lady does what he wants, when he wants, how he wants, they get along just great. Here they are dancing together.
Dancing, per Nathan's request.
Climbing on Lady as she checked in online for her flight home. He insisted that she wasn't flying home tomorrow.
When Nathan is sweet he makes you forget all about how mean he can be.
Kathryn is sweet all the time.
Here are a few pictures over the past few days.
One of Kathryn's brief moments of no one in her face.
He received some paints as a big brother gift. He has painted some beautiful works of art.
Lady can't pull her camera out without Nathan asking to "push the button" on it. Ever since Paw-Paw taught him about the self-timer setting on the camera, he wants to take group pictures nonstop. Lady and Paw-Paw's camera has about 20 of this same picture on it.
Lady and Kathryn had all the picture taking they could handle, so they left it to Nathan and me.
Thankfully, our neighbors put Christmas lights on their trees for Nathan to enjoy. That saves us the hassle of putting lights out.
Bath time at our house takes forever. Nathan's baths are a minimum of an hour long.
Kathryn loves bath time, too.
All warm and snuggly.
Nathan's new desk doubles as his dining table.
Stuffing his face with more Arby's chicken nuggets.
Another kiss for Kathryn.
Worn out from all the excitement over the past couple of weeks.

Lucky Lady

Lady has been working hard at proving that theory about not being able to spoil a newborn wrong. She is loving being a grandma times two.
After one of Kathryn's baths.
No post is complete without a picture of Nathan cuddling with Kathryn.
One day Nathan was so sleepy that he climbed up on Lady's lap while she was folding laundry and just fell asleep. For Nathan to be that willing to fall asleep, you can imagine how tired he was.
He didn't even wake up when she moved him off of her lap.
Lady made Nathan a Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! blanket. When she finished, she showed it to him and he politely said thank you. Then she asked if she could use it and he responded with, "No, it's mine."
She played on the bed with him. He climbs up this "big hill" then falls off.
When he lands, he's tickled.
More tickling.
All dressed up with no place to go.
Nathan watches B-1 videos on YouTube while he plays with his airplanes.
This was hilarious. Lady was flipping through the channels and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was on TV and Nathan saw it and immediately said, "I love this movie!" He's never seen it before in his life, but whatever. Lady sat and watched it with him. He's not used to watching channels that show commercials, so each time there was a commercial break, he went off on Lady. She explained to him as we cracked up, that those were commercials and that she didn't change the channel. He yelled back, "No! Not 'mercials! Turn it back!" Why in the world does she love that kid so much?
