It's been awhile...

I thought i'd write a bit since it's been awhile. Life has been pretty busy and I just didn't have much time to write. But since i've been having some issues with sleeping I figured i'd put out a new post.

Life is good with the lil man, he's doing lots of cute things lately, he mimics you when you say things to him and he occassionally repeats them back to you. He has said DaDa, MaMa, Bopbopbop or pop pop pop lol, and even Poo Poo, and tonight Tee Tee. He also says a whole lot of stuff only he understands lol.

Kaelan is also trying to get up on his knees to crawl a bit...he really prefers to roll rather than crawl but he is great at running around in his walker. Shhhh don't tell anyone we have one. I got it 2nd hand off Kijiji and he loves it. I must say that it's his favorite thing, and keeps us busy chasing after him.

I look forward to all the new adventures with him and walking, crawling and talking. He is also getting pretty great at eating solids, but he doesn't seem to do well with cheese and dairy still...sigh, oh well we will see how he does as his tummy matures.

We are working on sleep training with him and it's hit and miss most nights, he does seem to do well with going to bed at 7-8 pm but staying asleep is the issue. And we seemed to have reversed our progress of nursing only once through the night but alas, it's bonding time we will never have again so I enjoy it (even though it's trough on my sleep schedule). :)

But we do have a pretty awesome schedule in the day time that includes 2 naps for the most part...some days are disrupted by appointments and outings but we try to get our two naps in when we can.

Well we are off to baby and me class tomorrow to sing song, he really likes it and it's fun to hang out with all the other moms. It's just good to get out of the house and have some baby fun.

Well I think i'll sign off for now, looking forward to all the fun adventures to come. :)

Time

Where does the time go?
I've been going through our baby's videos and I can't even believe how fast 7 months has passed. He was so tiny and now he's growing more every day. I am excited for him to meet all his new milestones like talking and walking so I don't reminice much but it was a reminder to enjoy every minute with him.
Another thing about time when you are on mat leave is how much of it you have and don't have. To go out takes about an hour to get the baby ready, the dogs fed or let out, get myself ready, it's crazy. Then the rare moments I have to myself I have to decide is it worth doing something like shower or sleep. Sleep usually wins.
Which leads me to why can't I sleep lately? What's up with that? We just went through a 3 week cold and teething period with Kaelan and I was back to sleeping for an hour then up with him and now that the cold is gone and the teething subsided I can't seem to get any good rest. Ugh so frustrating, then I lie in bed thinking of my to do list and then it's no use to sleep. So here I sit typing about it. lol
I think tomorrow I will try and get some exercise so I tucker myself out by night time and see if that helps.
Now if this silly cold I have will just go away! :)

Ciao
