Dog Gone Days

I am practicing so that I can eventually ride Thor around

Do you have any leftovers in there?

Let's wake Thor up to play.

Oh my, big kiss from Jasmine!!

I don't think Thor minds if I play here.

Thank goodness we have such wonderful dogs. They really do love Kristopher and I think they would do whatever they needed to do to protect him.

1st Sick Day

Well today I had to take my first sick day due to Kristopher vomiting 3 times this morning. Poor little guy. He has never been a spitter so to see him doing that was really scary for me. So I had to wake up the poor Dr on call but she was very nice and made me feel better by saying that a lot of children have had this and that hopefully by treating it early he won't get it full blown. Well I hope she's right.

So being home and not being sick is something new for me and I don't know quite what to do. I can clean. Oh goodie, my poor house has been neglected for let's say the past 8 months. : ) Oh well, I have had better things to do recently. So I'm off to clean house and hopefully give our dogs a bath too. It's sunny out so I won't feel too bad getting them wet in 50 degree weather.

So until next time let's hope Kristopher does not get too sick.

Visiting Santa

Breakfast with Santa was fun. Grammy, Daddy and Mommy were there to share the experience and the photos will say it all.

Another Update

I know I have not been doing very well in keeping everyone posted but I have been super busy. Kristopher is now a professional at the combat crawl and has decided to try to use his hands and knees. He has managed to get up on his hands and knees but has not mastered that one goes in front of the other and that is another mode of movement from point A to point B. I'm not in too much of a hurry for him to figure it out either as I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with him now. Kristopher also has professed his love for electrical cords. I don't know if all babies do this or not but if there is a cord anywhere within eyesight Kristopher lets me know where it is.

We put our Christmas tree up Friday night and what excitement that was. I now have something else I have to keep an eye on. I think he likes the lights more than anything. We also put up our Christmas decorations but I guess that goes hand in hand with putting the Christmas tree up. So Saturday afternoon in the cold again we put up our lights. They are really neat. I will post a picture when I get a chance to take one. So today we are going to work on cleaning out the garage so I can put my car inside. How nice will that be that I won't have start my car to warm it up, it will already be warm.

Another milestone accomplished, pulling himself up to a standstill. In helping Mommy with the laundry Kristopher has managed to pull himself up to a standing position. He started by pulling himself to his knees but has not mastered up to a stand. I know he will be walking soon but it just seems too soon for me. I can remember so clearly like it was yesterday being in the hospital. It is so strange how when we were kids we couldn't wait to grow up and now that we are grown up you want to be a kid again. It also seemed like when we were so excited for an exciting day to come it would never come fast enough. Now being a parent, time is going too fast and you just want things to slow down so you can enjoy your child growing up. You want to enjoy every little accomplishment they achieve. The little things they do are sometimes the greatest for a parent to see. I only hope that Kristopher keeps developing the way he does, into a sweet perfect little boy. Boy isn't that the most biased statement I have ever made. : )

Well I hope everyone enjoyed today's post because I enjoyed writing it. Until next time : )
