Happy Boy!
Showing me how old he's going to be ... okay, so it was just a fluke that he had 1 finger up, but still ... I can pretend! ;)
(In truth, the look on is face makes me think that maybe that's not the finger he wanted up?!?! Hmmmm)
With pure blue skies and the warm sun shining down on us, the angels from above finally blessed us with a "true" Spring day. It was great to be outside, getting some fresh air and much needed Vitamin D!
Kai-bug thoroughly enjoyed moving at mach speeds while playing with his Hippo car. I'm afraid at this speed we'll be needed new shoes sooner than I had originally anticipated. I'm told that children go from crawling to running - and now I have no doubt in my mind. Poor Mr. Hippo may need some new wheels soon if we keep this up!
This was the 1st video I took and I was laughing so hard because of how fast he was moving - it was cute to see his little legs just a goin' as fast as they could!
He's already figured it out, one hand at a time - No Double Dribbling!
Time Out!! Taking a break on the bench.
"Phew, this basketball stuff is exhausting!" 
function on 2 hours of sleep ... month after month. *It does get easier to take your child to the baby-sitter, but you're always just as excited to pick them up at the end of the day. *EVERYONE is willing to share parenting advice. *You will get pee'd on, repeatedly. *The love for your child multiples and compounds daily. *I no longer go into complete "panic mode" any more if my house isn't spotless. *No matter how bad of a day I thought I was having, my baby always finds a way to make it all better. *The laughter of a child can warm an entire house. *Those little finger nails are hard to clip! *Give me 10 minutes to myself and I can take a 
9 1/2 minute nap. *Hand-me-down toys and clothes are a blessing. *Diaper, diapers and more diapers!! *All the baby accessories may not hav been necessary, but boy were they helpful! *Being a mom is a lot more work than I ever imagined -- but totally worth it! *Date night is a movie on the couch and I totally dig it. *A baby can sleep though the sound of the vacuum at 10 p.m. *You're not a bad mother when you stop doing everything "by the book;" it's just too demanding. *When you finally get to go to bed, you will lie there questioning your parenting skills. *It's okay to make up words to nursery rhymes that you've forgotten. *There's not a whole lot on t.v. at 3 a.m. *The pediatrician always runs late. *Nursing my child was the best bonding experience of my life. *Dad CAN do a great job, even if it's not my way! *Flying with a 6 month old is challenging. *"Crying it out" is okay - though initially incredibly heart-breaking. *A routine for a baby is critical. *Holidays have a whole new meaning. *Spray 'n Wash is my best friend. *You're never bored. *I've never talked so much to someone without getting a response. *I like the smell of Desitin. *I have a whole new respect for my Mom and her role in my life. *Running 10 minutes late is allowed. *My shopping is closely scheduled around nap and feeding time. *It's always easier to wake up to a crying baby than an annoying alarm clock. *I can never kiss my baby enough. *Pulling that tiny, slippery infant out of the bathtub for the first time is scary! *I had 28 years to grow, mature and become a woman who would become a mother and now I am blessed with a wonde
rful son and family! *I am so very lucky to be a mother.
So needless to say, around here we don't say, "What happened to the (fill in the blank)?" Instead we say, "Did you see WHO (a.k.a. Kailer) happened to the (fill in the blank)?" Never a dull moment around here, that's for sure!
