Wow. I'm extremely ashamed of my self of my falling off my blogging ban-wagon. Normally I'm so good at keeping up, especially since I print of my posts every year into a book that I keep as my family journal/scrapbook. However, I've been extremely discouraged because it's such a fight for me to upload pictures on here. It tells me that my account or memory is full and wants to to purchase more space for more photos. So I just tried deleting some because I've already printed them off and it wont give me anymore space. Poor excuse I know but you wouldn't believe how many saved un-finished posts I have due to this problem. I'm mainly scolding myself because Kallan is doing so many things and I haven't been on here to document them. So, no matter how difficult it gets or how frustrated I become, I'm bound and determined to make sure I archive these major milestones, because this is my journal and even if I can't post pics (ugh) I can write things down.
These were taken today. He loves his little pool and being outside. We have to do this almost every day. But I love it!
So this picture here, where it looks like he's giving you a dirty look, this is what he does when I say "eyebrows" he'll raise them super high, and then drop them down like this. I missed when he raised them. So funny
Where to start??? Well, I guess where I pretty much left off, which was right around when Kallan started crawling. See? I can barely even remember when this was, I'm so mad at myself. Kallan started crawling in February, when he was almost 10 months old. And along with crawling soon after came the pulling himself up into a standing position, along with which came the terrorizing (I've attempted to post this, twice already, but I'll follow up with this later) April has come and gone and with it was Kallan's first Birthday. (Also, a post on this to come) At his one year appointment, he weighed in at 19 lbs and this kid has a tiny little waist because he is still in a size 2 diaper. Except for at night, we put him to bed in size 3. I've tried putting size 3 on him during the day, but they're so bulky and make it harder for him to walk and the size 2 aren't any too small so I figured, why not? Size 2 it is. He's been in size 2 since he was 4 months old. He measured 27 inches tall, and he's been as healthy as a saint since he's been born. I mean I don't know what we did right but he's not had more than a fever since he's been born. Maybe a stuffy nose? If you could even call it that? I know I know, I better not speak to soon because this could mean my next kid could be the total opposite. But I am enjoying how healthy and strong and smart he is. On June 6th, my baby took his first steps and my whole family was there to share it with us. We were out to dinner at Chili's for my younger sister's birthday and he just decided to walk. We were a sight, hooping and hollering and laughing and cheering. We finally went outside where we sat for an hour just letting him walk up and down the sidewalk back and forth to us. He's now almost 15 months and walking like a total champ. He's so talkative and super animated. He has exagerated facial expressions and uses his hands when he talks. He mimicks everything we do to a T. And I know that all moms must think this but I swear my kid is a genius! Ha ha, okay it's just really impressive to watch how fast he learns and does things I have no recollection teaching him. He can say Mama, Dada, Mom, Hi and yeah. His sleeping schedule is awesome. He goes to bed around 8 every night, all I do is set him in his crib, he plays and talks for about half an hour and then falls asleep on his own. Sleeps all night long and wakes up about 8 or 8:30 every morning. I get him up and we have a diaper change and a bottle and he goes right back down for about an hour, so he's up for the day around 10 am. He then will take a nap around noon, and a nap around 2 or 3, each just over an hour long, and if I'm lucky I can get an afternoon nap out of him but that one is hit and miss. But I'll totally take it. He still has his binki (Which goes away forever next month) but he's not super dependant on it and he only has it when he sleeps now anyway which is nice. He can wave, play pat-a-cake, give high five, give knuckles with his fist, he can raise and lower his eyebrows which is hilarious to see him do, he gives hugs and kisses and can moo like a cow but that's the only animal sound he'll do so far. He dances whenever music is on, and laughs constantly. At himself, at other kids, at babies, if he hears you laugh, he's just so happy. He's a good eater and he loves milk and straws. He never picked up on sippy cups but he's been drinking through straws since he was 9 months old so capri-suns are already a hit in this household. He has 8 teeth total; 4 on top and 4 on bottom. He's totally a daddy's boy. He'll play with me all day but as soon as he sees his dad, he gasps and laughs and scrambles his fastest to get to his dad. He's like that with everyone in the family. Grandpa is second favorite and he'll go to my dad before my mom, and to each of my brothers before my sisters. Even with Buck's parents, whom we hardly get to see, he would go right to Buck's dad and hug and sit with him. He's a water baby. I take him to the pool at least once a week, and we have a little plastic pool out in the front yard. He loves climbing in and out of the water, even when the water is a little cool, he'll be shivering but wont get out and cries whenever we have to leave. I know I've said this about every phase, but I love this age! I just love his personality. I been so blessed to have such a good, healthy baby. And he's all attitude as well and pushes his limits and our buttons and even throws fits, but he's already starting tolisten to us when we tell him no. (Yes, we already do time outs and punishments, sorry but I don't think mine are ever too young for the right kind of discipline) It's really paid off for us :) We just love him.
So this picture here, where it looks like he's giving you a dirty look, this is what he does when I say "eyebrows" he'll raise them super high, and then drop them down like this. I missed when he raised them. So funny
