"Loads" of Fun!!

Helping Mom do laundry ... and with her new washer and dryer ALL of this only took two loads! That makes for a happy mommy! :)

Teething time!

It all started on Tuesday January 5, 2010 when my Mom and Dad discovered that I was "cutting" my first tooth. Since then, it seems that everyday they want to look in my mouth to see if there's any more progress on the little bugger pushing its way up! I'm doing my best in the meantime, to chew on everything in sight and make a massive soggy mess out of every piece of clothing available to me! This teething stuff isn't a whole lot of fun, but I am doing pretty good and Mom relieves some of the pain with Baby Orajel, cool (literally and figuratively speaking!) teething rings and a little Tylenol every now and again. She has also started to brush my tooth and gums with this yummy "mixed fruit" toothpaste - not too shabby if I don't say so myself!! I sure will be glad when my teeth are finally in though, then I can try more "big boy" foods!

"Okay mom and dad, let me explain this AGAIN (sheesh!) - it's on the bottom left, right underneath my tongue here .. see it!?!"

Aaah, a nice cool teething ring!

Are We There Yet?

Just another day of hanging out with Mom - she keeps me busy!!

OMG .... LOL

"Dear Dad: I am sending you a txt w/out mom knowing! Have a gr8 day n b safe @ work. TTYL"

In reality, these pictures represent something my son will be doing LONG before I ever even knew what texting was ... times are changing.

I actually had put the phone in front of him as an "incentive" to crawl/move toward it. He succeeded, so I had to let him play with it for a few minutes! I have to be careful though. One day I gave him my phone, he of course put it immediately in his mouth and needless to say filled the receiver end with baby slobber .... I had to let it dry out before I was able to hear what anyone on the other end was saying!!

The best smell in the world is a clean baby!!

Kailer LOVES bathtime and I'm hoping to get him enrolled in swim lessons, while he's young and before the "fear" of water has a chance to develop.

Cold Temperatures = A Day Indoors!

While in Newcastle over Thanksgiving, Kailer found the reflection of an adorable baby and couldn't help but want to kiss him!! He really enjoyed the mirror at Grandma's -- and he left a big 'ol slobbery mess for her to clean up too! :) You can just tell by his poor little eyes that he wasn't feeling well, but he was a trooper for most of the trip.

I should also note that last night (1/5/10), we officially saw that Kailer cut his first tooth!! When did he grow up, it's like I woke up one morning and he was no longer my little baby.
