As you can see, both Mike and I have been bad about keeping up with this blog. However, we plan to keep going with it and I usually compose an entry in my head a few times a week. As you can see, they never get out of my head and on to the internet.

We have really entered the age of changes with Kjersten. She is changing daily, it seems, and we all enjoy watching her progressions.

For the last few weeks, she has been "army" crawling all over the place. When she gets tired of that, she resorts to rolling. For the last week, she has really worked to get up on her hands and knees, but when she tries to get going she usually ends up flat on the floor. She's working hard on it and we figure within a week or two she will be going full force in a true crawl. Then we will be in big trouble! We haven't even begun to baby-proof the house yet.

Another big event in her life is her new teeth. Currently, she has her two bottom front teeth coming in and I keep looking at her top gums to see if they are on their way in as well. She has been a little crabbier as a result and we never leave home without the Tylenol and Orajel.

Ashlynn and Alec made it home on Sunday from Texas. Mike and I took the day off work yesterday and took the kids up to the Dells to spend the day at Noah's Ark waterpark. They had a blast and came back with a little too much sun.

Hi!

Thanks again for sharing! In Holland they recommend to give babies liquorice (the hard salt once) when their teeth come through. I thought this was world-wide known medicine and never realised that this is why dutchies like liquorice so much.

This changed as I told it to some friends in SA (who had a baby as well):

Their "secret-grandma's-recipe" is to give the babies Biltong (dried salted meat, like tearjerky) and as you might have guessed: Biltong is the national "candy" in SA.

Bye!

Joost
