Vermicious K(n)id!

Remember in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, when all the elevator doors in the space hotel opened, and the Vermicious Knids spelled out the word "Scram?" Who could forget? For some reason, this series of Naomi performing an improvised gymnastics floor routine in her "kitty corner" made me think of that.









Of course, she's not at all like the bloodthirsty alien life forms in the space hotel. She's actually really nice most of the time.



Her Knid sister had her eighteen month appointment, nearly a month late, last week. She finally broke the twenty pound mark (woo hoo) but is still firmly in the bottom seven percent of weight. She is taller than three quarters of babies, has a bigger head than three quarters of babies, but practically all of them weigh more than her. Jim and I are trying hard not to just give her whatever food we think she will eat, especially because Naomi is so razor sharp these days, we can't put anything over on her (more on this in another post). She will not let us get away with heaping "treats" (like graham crackers) on her sister if she's not getting any. This despite enjoying many slightly more grown-up treats herself that Muriel doesn't get. Although, come to think of it, a Byerly's Killer Brownie would probably fatten Muriel right up! It worked for me.
