This summer, I have concluded, is way too hot. I really want it to be in the 80s again. It's too hot to do anything, but I do look forward to seeing my beautiful niece whenever possible. She's getting so big and she's very aware now. Kailey is crying much more now which just makes her seem more like a real baby. She's still amazing and rarely fussy. She is 6 weeks and keeps getting better as she gets older. Luke and I went over to Jen and Robert's last weekend for dinner and while Jen and I ate outside, Robert and Luke played video games inside (Robert jumps at the chance to get any guy to play video games with him) and they got baby duty. Jen and I were really shocked to see Luke appear at the door with Kailey in his arms asking for one of us to change her diaper. Luke, who has only held her once because he was tricked into it, had been trading off with Robert between holding, feeding, and burping her. Apparently he took better direction from Robert who in Luke's words "couldn't take care of the baby while he was in the middle of a serious game." I was so proud of Luke. It made me love him that much more.
Last week I had my appointment at the dermatologist (finally!) and they ended up taking 3 moles off. Two on my chest and one under my arm. I'm soo happy to have them off. I had to get stitches for the ones on my chest, 3 on one and 2 on the other and I'll get them off on Thursday which I'm very happy about considering I've developed an allergy to band aids and have to go around with them uncovered all the time.
A few months ago I discovered this awesome recipe online that put a spin on olives and cream cheese, if you've ever had that. It's one of Jen's favorite things to eat so when my mom's cousins came for dinner last week we made them. They're penguins! Super easy to make but a little time consuming. Still it was fun and they're really cute. All it takes is olives, cream cheese, carrots and toothpicks!
