mi familia

I have been gone for over a week now and it truly does'nt feel like it has been that long at all. My Grammy is insistant that I am on holidays and that I am not allowed to help much around the house which kind of makes feel like a useless you know what some days. But it definately is a very nice break. I suppose Kaia has been keeping me busy all the same. She has changed a lot in the few days. I find that I have more of a squirmy wormy on my hands when we are just trying to sit and play or relax. She is SO curious touching everything and of course putting everything in her mouth. When she sits and plays she doensn't just sit anymore she tries to move around and often times she will wiggle her way down to lying on her stomach. I have beem trying to expand her diet she has tried fish, chicken, turnip, blueberry and this morning she had rasberry in her cereal.
   With our kind of luck she has been teething, since we have been here she had two new teeth come through and she has two more just waiting at the surface. I have to say though that regardless of her teething she has been a pretty tolerable little girl. She has her moments of fuss but I really do not feel like I can complain. I have seen children that aren't teething fuss more. Last night was the worst of it. She was up often and the one time she screamed bloody murder for twenty minutes or so and nothing I did soothed her. She has never done that before nor has she been unconsolable for such a period of time.
    The rain here has been pretty persistant we haven't been out too much but I am not complaining one little bit. I am just happy to be out of my four walls at home. This moring we went to the farmers market checked out the wares it was good of course I am always a fan of that kind of shopping. Grammy prepared a fantastic prime rib meal for us and some extended family that came into visit us. I am truly spoiled I have to say. It was good to see some cousins second and third cousins actually and a great Aunt. I know Kaia will never remember this visit but I am determined to keep her posted and aware of all of the family that she has regardless of the miles that seperate. Here and in the Phil. I feel like I have missing pieces of my family althoguh I realize that it was never possible to visit regularly I just wish that I was made aware and or updated on the happenings of their lives. I say that for all sides of my family and I say that for Erick's family too. If it was not for our trip to the Phil we would have no clue who, what, where or when with some of his family.
  I feel like I need to write a history book including each family memeber their life story and everything in between. I think that would be a valuable thing to have. Ok call me nosey maybe that is all that it is I don't know. I guess I just want to feel more connected.
Well I am tempted to go to bed Kaia is in dream land by now and with the way her schedule has been going she will be up in a bit. I do miss our getting up once a night routine we were on.
