Paul Blart: Mall Cop seen May 24th 09 was rented on Redbox

Comments: In my opinion Kevin James is always funny, but this time he really outdid himself. I’d say it was one of his best performances! This movie reminded me of a classic Happy Maddision production. It wasn’t retarded like the Zohan….it actually carried a coherent plot. I was even surprised by the ending. I didn’t see it coming haha. I have a good friend who is hypoglycemic though, and I don’t recall her passing out everything 20 minutes if she didn’t have a snickers bar so that was a little over the top. I’m not a big fan of humor that mocks an illness. That and fat jokes bother me too. There was one scene where his mom was going to make something to make him feel better, and he was like no……but if you were to make something that would make me feel better it’d be sloppy joes……and sweet potato fries haha. They lay on the fat jokes pretty thick in this movie. Kevin Jame’s segway skills have to be given props in this review too. He did things on a seaway I did not know were possible haha. I’d give it an A-. It’s a film everyone can watch,laugh, and enjoy.

Rolling Anywhere?

Naomi celebrated her half birthday earlier this week. I can’t believe she’s 6 months old. Time goes by entirely to fast when you have children. It’s like you glance down, and then when you look back up they’re several months(or in Vera’s case years) older. It’s interesting how different Naomi’s infant development is from what Vera’s was. It was almost like from the day Vera was born she’d laugh and smile, but Naomi just started doing that recently. Before this month she always had this serious expression on her face. Vera was sitting up by herself at 4 months, but Naomi just flops over. However Naomi plays and interacts with toys, and Vera didn’t do that until she was 9 months. I’m predicting that Naomi will be crawling by the end of this month. Vera didn’t even attempt moving anywhere until she was 9 months haha. Naomi has started rolling to get where she wants to go. Very enginuitive in my opinion hehe. We first figured out she was capable of doing this when she rolled the span of the bed, and fell off. Yes Yes….I am a horrible mother for leaving my child unattended on the bed. HOWEVER she was left in the middle, and I was getting up to wash my hands. The sink is literally two steps away from my bed if that gives you an idea of how fast she is. She wasn’t hurt since fortunately Matthew and I have piles of blankets(one of his weaknesses) and pillows(and one of mine haha)everywhere. Naomi has also figured out how to propel herself forward by using her legs, but hasn’t figured out to push herself up with her hands. This kind of causes her to nose dive into the carpet though which looks painful. I wonder how soon she’ll be walking. She already takes steps when you hold her by her hands. With reaching the 6 month milestone has also come teething. A couple of weeks ago the drooling started and now the inconsolable crying,gnawing everything, and constantly wanting to be held has kicked in. Part of me is excited by all her new developments, and the other is sad. If Matthew gets his way this will be the last time I get to watch a child go through these stages, and even if I do somehow convince him that another child would complete our family that would still not be for another three years. You wouldn’t believe this, but I wanted like 6 kids when we first got married. After having Vera though I was like this is just too much work haha. I settled on half. I’m also really proud of myself at this six month mark. I’m still breastfeeding, and I’ve made it thus far without having a major breakdown. Breastfeeding was hard with Vera because she wouldn’t eat anywhere but at home, and I wanted to throw in the towel several times with her. I made it to 12 months. However with Naomi I’m had a much easier time.  I was also  worried how hard it would be with two children both under the age of 3 who need so much of your attention all the time. Granted Vera does not get my undivided attention, but I think it’s good for her. It’s taught her how to share, and how to be helpful. I’m proud of her too. From what my parents tell me I didn’t handle having a sibling quite as well haha. Haley could probable attest to that.
