What a week! My last week at home started off not so cool and ended hot & miserable. At the beginning of the week Will discovered (after walking under it 4 times) that we had a huge black snake hanging out over our front door (on the decorative arch). A snake was hanging out above our door! I had no idea that snakes could crawl up walls...way to add creepiness to an already creepy thing. Apparently, the snake was trying to get into a vent (one that we have no idea what it does) that a little bird family had made its home. So, at midnight Will (my hero) and I were watching this BIG snake (at least 3 feet) meticulously planning a way to the vent. This stupid snake kept us up until like 3 in the morning. On a side note, Will, my brave man happens to have a little, tiny fear of snakes. He is soooo not a fan! Neither am I but more because I am grossed out by their existence. Eventually, Will put a broom through Meli's nursery window and flung it off the window. Will was traumatized by the weight of it. FREAKED! We watched where it landed for a while when all of the sudden it peaked its head back out and crept back up! The SOB was coming back! It tried for a little while and then disappeared under a bush. Needless to say we did not sleep very well. We were not sure where the vent went and if there were any other possible ways for it to get into our house. The next day, we had a pest control company come cover any possible entries. The bird family was no more - poor things. They also looked for the snake but was unsuccessful. They did find a baby one in the vent. We have spent all week trying to catch a glimpse of it so the pest guy would come take it away.
Fastforward to Sunday. The day our AC breaks down. Our house was 90 degrees ALL night! Meli slept wonderfully. She did not wake up. I finally woke her up at 4 to make sure she was OK and to feed her. I did not sleep well. I slept horribly! Thankfully the AC people fixed it today. Virginia is so hot and humid. I love this state but as long as my AC works!
OK, moving on to the beautiful babies! Meli is 12 weeks and as cute as ever. She discovered her feet this week. She is very entertained by them, especially when she has footed pajamas on. She has been talking to herself and can lay on her own and will entertain herself. My baby girl. She has noticed the TV. Colin was watching a show and Meli was transfixed. She is moving all over the place. Always laying in different directions, rolling around and if on her belly moving forward. Whoa!
Colin still loves being a big brother. He is sadly calling us Dad and Mom now. Not a fan of that. Made me want to cry. For one it makes me sound old and second, it makes Colin sound older. So not a fan. I want to stay mommy. Hopefully it is just a phase.
