Raider is still a psycho. There is no changing it. He will never grow up. I blame William. We finally have a yard with a fence again but half of it is dirt so I still have to watch him pretty close and keep a towel by the door. Better than a leash except when it rains. Score one for Oklahoma, in that it hardly ever rains. He is starting to let Kellis play with him, but I dont let them play if I'm in another room. I can usually get one or the other to come when I call.
Kellis is super. He's so cute. He is such a happy little guy no matter what we are doing. He is content to play by himself or with us, chase Raider, roam the yard, ride in the car, take a nap, go to target or the grocery store, you name it. He is just a happy kid. He doesnt have many "actual" words yet but I have taught him enough that we can communicate. And he understands everything I say. If I tell him his water is on the kitchen table he will go get it.
Baby 2 is doing good. I'm getting used to the insane movement and size of him. He's on my right side so its kinda hard to walk sometimes but I manage. Bending over is getting harder and harder. I got out all of Kellis' clothes from the first year of his life and that's as far as I made it. There are a lot! Luckily I stored them in space saver bags every so many months so I only had to open 2 bags to have all the newborn stuff. And I haven't seen Tamara in AGES so I still have Trey's baby clothes as well. She has more warm stuff than I do so I may be reusing hers as well. I do feel bad I have had them so long however. I will have to buy some warm clothes for the little guy. I literally own zero pants or long sleeves in anything smaller than 6mo. Only onesies and a few pairs of socks. I did get a lot of nice blankets for Kellis though (which I hardly used) so that is good. We'll get a few sleepers and call it good. Kellis was never in the Newborn size so I am not gonna buy much until #2 is actually born.
Will's job is going good. He likes the company and is in the office now with a company CAR not truck. He is busy with bidding and scheduling, which he says he loves and that is what he wanted to do when he took the job so he's all set I guess. He did his first solo bid (w/o his boss giving much help) and they won it a couple weeks ago, he was really stoked about that.
I am doing good. Cleaning a house this small (1500sf) is super easy so I feel like its the cleanest house we have had yet. Only 2 bathrooms too! Kellis likes to "help" clean so we do it together. Just waiting on this baby pretty much! After Nov 25th my doc appts are weekly so we'll see if I dilate as early as I did with Kellis. I didnt actually go into full on labor with him so I'm scared of what a contraction will feel like!! I didnt feel any with him, they gave me the epidural immediately.
What else? Our families are doing good. My brother FINALLY proposed to Jenna a week ago. No wedding details are being released for a while. Will's sister is having a great time with her foster baby Tori. She's a couple months older than Kellis but was premature so developmentally they are about even. The case is still in the courts as to if the state officially takes her from the parents and puts her up for adoption. Their social worker thinks they have a good chance of getting her. Only time will tell. We haven't found a church yet. We haven't really looked. Been to 3 different ones and they weren't spectacular. Now its to the point we aren't going to even try b/c we'll go for a couple weeks then have a baby and be out a few more weeks. Kellis really needs to be around other kids though so it is at the top of our to do list as soon as we are sane again next year. I did join a couple meetup groups to make friends for us but nothing substantial has come of them yet. As the weather gets crappier its going to get harder too.
That's all I can think of right now. I dont think this post will be as amusing as the ones from last May but oh well. You'll live. Here's a pic for putting up with my rambling. Kellis got a balloon from the bank inside walmart and it was the highlight of his week. Now its hard to go to walmart b/c he looks for the balloons and wants one. Luckily I dont go there that often. We have a fantastic grocery store really close to us that is cheaper and has a better selection. You can see half our house in this pic too. There are 2 doors on the left, the main bathroom and our room. Straight back is the purple room the baby will be in. (this is not ok with me but William doesnt want to buy paint) and there is 1 door to the right for Kellis' room. I barely need a baby monitor the rooms are so close. See the white carpet? Whoever picked the color is the worlds biggest idiot. Its everywhere except kitchen, bathrooms and small entry. The yard is RED dirt so you can imagine how irritating it is with Raider going in and out.
