Updates and I suck at blogging

Wow, I am really slacking on this whole blogging thing lately.  It’s not like I have been sitting in an empty, dark room with nothing going on in my life.  It’s not like I am so crazy-busy that I don’t have time.  I am just not doing it.  So because I have been slacking as of late, I am just going to piece together some thoughts and call it a blog post.  Pretty much what I do every time I post something, so nothing new here. J

First, I am going to do a little update on Kamden.  He is really the main reason I started to blog in the first place.  I just want to make sure I am documenting his milestones and little things he does so I can look back and remember just how little, cute, and fun he is.  That won’t change right??......RIGHT!!!??  Just kidding, I am totally aware he will turn into a big, smelly boy at some point.  Anyway, here is Kamden right now, just about 16 months….

·         Opens every door and shuts it about a million times a day

·         Says “this” repeatedly, all day long

·         Can say juice, dada, mama, fish, this, no, yes, beep beep….and a bunch of gibberish

·         Loves dogs

·         Throws his hands in the air when he is done eating

·         Loves fruit and grilled cheese

·         Just tried chocolate milk and loves it

·         Sleeps great still (thank God)

·         Is getting 3 molars at once at this very moment (drool city)

·         Loves trucks and cars

·         Gave his daddy a hug last night and it melted my face off

·         Has been walking backwards a lot lately

·         Loves cartoons - Little Einstein’s, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates…pretty much any cartoon

·         Has an obsession with climbing on the couch so he can mess with the thermostat.  The temp was set at 50 degrees the other day….

·         Loves to be outside

  

·         Loves the snow.  I was walking with him outside and he bent over to eat snow right off the ground

·         Thinks he can walk up and down stairs like a big boy (he cannot)

·         Puts all his food in his hair every time he eats

·         Can feed himself with a spoon

·         Blows kisses J

·         Licks my face when I ask him for a kiss

  

·         Starting to only take 1 nap a day

·         Knows where his eyes, nose, and mouth are

·         Loves dry cereal and goldfish crackers

·         Won’t eat vegetables unless they are pureed

·         Likes when people talk to him on the phone

·         Grabs his pacifier and blanket when he is tired

I could list out a million more things but these are what popped into my head.  Can he please just stay this age forever??

In other news, I was asked to be in a wedding!  Our friends, Tim and Amy are getting hitched in May of 2015! I am pumped!  With that said, I am kind of in a baby-making dilemma.  We are going to try for #2 at some point here in the next 6 months, hopefully.  I do not want to be pregnant or about to give birth during the wedding, but that means I would have to get knocked up by no later than June/July.  Initially, I wanted to “plan” it out so I would have maternity leave over next summer, but now I am not so sure what to do.  The hubs is freaked out that we are talking baby #2 and I have been secretly calming the baby fever for a few months.  So stay tuned….



Am I really ready for this again??



My friend Erin is expecting #2 and found out she is having a GIRL!!  I see lots of pretty dresses and bows in her future. J  So excited!

My mom got a new job and loves it!!  I am so, so, so, SOOOOOO happy for her!  She definitely deserves it!

My brother is competing in the district spelling bee on the 24^th!  Last year he made it all the way to state and placed 9^th.  That is just incredible to me because he was in 4^th grade and competing against 8^th graders.  He is smart as a whip and I can’t wait to hear how he does in a couple weeks!

I didn’t really make any new year’s resolutions this year, other than to be healthier.  I usually try to do a 180 and eat clean, workout every day, etc. but realistically, I just set myself up for failure every time.  So, I am just taking it day by day and trying to make better choices, one decision at a time.  Like for example, to balance out my red wine addiction I had a salad for lunch today. J #winning ß that’s douchey 

Random, but I found this funny:



'Tis the season!



Congratulations!!!  You made it through the rambling!! Welp, I am off to make it look like I am doing some work around here.  TGIF!
