The Condra's: August 2008

I will start out with cute pics of them together before I start my long blog.......

Love how they are making the same face and he is holding on to her!!!!!

wanting to get to Paisley

I never wanted to put them in the samething but we loved these shirts!!!!!

On Monday the 4th we found out that the ferrets had caught a very bad (ferret only) deadly infection. We decided to have them put down instead of watching them go. Therefore we had to do something with Callie (our sweet cat) because she has never be alone and we did not think she would do good with out her buddies. We gave her to the rescue center to have the chance to find a new home. It was a very hard decision and it broke both our heart to have to make such a final choice. We waited til the kid woke up and let Paisley play with her "babies" (as we all called them) and took pics with all of them. Paisley was so cute chasing them and trying to drive her car with them in it. She would try to put them in the cage and was really good at picking them up the right way. Keyton love sitting with them and laughed when they would give him kisses. After an hour we loaded up both kids and all the animals and cryed on the way. We also explaned to Paisley that we had to give the cat and ferrets to new homes. She did not like that to much. First was Callie, we all kissed her good bye and everything was ok til they gave us back the empty cage and Paisley lost it Screaming "My cat My Callie cat" I lost it and new it was going to be even harder at the next stop. We gave over the ferrets and Paisley again Screamed " My feranys (how she calls them) NO NO NO my babies." Tryon and I really lost it and we all cryed all the way home. She still ask about them and wants to know why, which still makes it hard. Putting away all there stuff that was around for 4 years took alot of work and tears. We loved those little babies and we will all miss them very much.

Now on to my Super Keyton!!!! I am so excited that on Sunday (the 10th) he rolled over from back to front and then front to back!!! He was so proud and I was so excited to watch him do it!!! He is so much younger than Paisley was and I can't believe he did. He also started holding the bottle some and trying to help feed himself. He is now eating baby food 2 times a day!!! We had is fun 4 month apt. today and he is sooooo big. He weights 17 lbs and 5 ozs and is 26" tall!!!! That is a lb and an in. more than Paisley (and I thought she was big!!!) Also he is fixing to get his frist 2 teeth, the doc. thinks it will be very soon!!!! I am so excited about him growing up but so sad it will be so fast. I love how much he laughs and talks to everything. He loves to hold on to you when you walk around and he really loves his big sister!!!!

Rolling Over....go baby go!!!!!!! Yes he did it with his hand in his mouth!!!

Holding the bottle!

Sitting up with some help.

Sweet smiles!!!!!

Using his teether!!!!!

Once he found them he has never let them go!!!!!

Now my Sweet Paisley!!!! She has been very helpful the last few weeks, everyday she tells me it is time to do Tummy Time with KiKi. She lays in the floor and keeps him happy while he has to do his time. It is so much fun to watch as she trys to show him how to roll, crawl, and get up. She tells him "KiKi, KiKi watch...Now you do" got to love the help! She loves to help wash him in the bath, tell me when he needs to be changed and wiping his mouth all the time. Every night she get him a bib for dinner, and one for herself now because Keyton has one. She also (just today) wanted to feed him his bottle so I went and got the boppy and put it around her, layed him down and gave her the bottle and waited to hear "I'm done" but no she feed him is whole bottle and wiped his face when he needed her to. It was so sweet and he did good to. I am so happy to have such a willing and big helper! I also have noticed that she wants to be give praise like Keyton does for her normal activity... example.... when Keyton rolled over Sun. she rolled over and said "look Mama I do it too" Its so funny and cute. Can't believe how big she is, it makes me sad to think in just 3 months she will be my 2 year old.

Tummy time!!!!

Feeding her little bro!!! Such a big girl

The other day she just sat on me and started jumping on me. So fun and cute!!!

Climbing on Daddy!!!

I hurt my foot the other day and mom made me sit with Ice Paisley thought she had to ice her foot to.....She also would limp like me all day long. She is too funny...
