I know it's been a while since I last posted, but life has been a little crazy. Kaelen is walking everywhere now, and while I'm thrilled, it's also kind of a pain! After a long day at work all I really want to do is sit and relax, and he usually has other ideas. Of course, he never tries to get dada to walk with him up and down the stairs ad nauseum!! I love the kid, but he does drive me nuts.
Last weekend we had a funeral to attend in Boise, so we made the 7 hour trek. Kaelen did well for a toddler... that may not be saying much though. Luckily once we got to Boise Grandpa was there to attend to his (almost) every need (he doesn't do diapers...). And Grandpa was thrilled to walk up and down the hallway of the hotel with him. Maybe Grandpa should live closer... We all made it back from Boise alive (barely), and now I need a weekend to recover from last weekend. My wonderful husband took today off and did the cleaning and grocery shopping... he's also promised to take Kaelen out tomorrow... maybe I'll go get a facial, or run away!
The rain and the leaves are falling, and while it's very pretty, it's also very messy and cold outside. This makes it less likely that Kaelen gets to go out with dada for his evening walk, which makes mama VERY sad! We tried to watch tv last night while Kaelen was running around, but his idea of fun was bouncing up and down on my abdomen and pretending to fall off the couch. He got sent to bed promptly at 7... but he got the last laugh when he woke up at 5:30 this morning (and then fell asleep an hour later when my alarm went off). I'd send him to bed later, but I need every minute of relaxation time I can get!
Kaelen finally had his 18 month check up a few weeks ago. He's in the 95th percentile for height, and the high 80s for weight and head circumference. The pediatrician was trying to find a tactful way of saying that it's not too disturbing since neither of us are exactly skinny... at least she didn't say I was fat!
So, yeah, life is pretty much the same. Someday I'll get around to taking and posting pictures... hopefully! It all depends on the not-so-little boy.
