Firsts

Kellis has had a lot of firsts lately.

Labor Day weekend we had to switch his carseat to daddy's car for the move, so he got to start riding facing forwards. Its earlier than I wanted but it happened. He's back in my car now, facing forward in the middle. Its hard to get him up in there but I cant figure out how to get the seatbelt through on the side seats so that's where he sits for now. What I wouldn't give for a car (well, my same car) with the latch system! If you have one you are so lucky and you dont even know it.

Monday he got his first skinned knee. Was just standing on the sidewalk and fell down. Didn't cry too long. He's tough.

Tuesday he fed some ducks in a park.

Tuesday he played on a playground and went down a slide for the first time.

Today (Wednesday) he got to walk in the grocery store. We just went in for 1 thing so I let him carry it and walk down the aisle. As usual, everyone loved seeing him and he was so proud. It probably wont happen too many more times b/c he will get used to it and brave and run away from me.

Today we went to the library and he walked there too. Got him an Elmo's World dvd, which he loved for the first 10 minutes or so. Then he was back to playing with his toys and I was watching by myself.

Today we went to a gas station carwash. His eyes got so big when it started coming around the car. He isnt afraid of anything though and I was acting like it was the coolest thing ever and by the end he was laughing and super excited about it.

Today also he ate a few bites of my cheeseburger from mcdonalds. I think thats 2 firsts - cheeseburger and mcdonalds. He didnt even want fries, just bites of my burger. He has never before wanted to eat hamburger.

Baby 2 is doing just fine. 15 weeks to go! Kicking all the time still. Suddenly I am huge! Just one day wow I swear I gained so much. Doctor Friday. I still feel smaller than with Kellis. No cravings (we all know how I feel about them) but I am always hungry. I swear I could eat everything in the house and then order a pizza. The only reason I dont eat constantly is b/c I have to keep up with Kellis. Oh and share my food with him.
