day by day
First off, sorry for the long delay between posts. It’s been too long. This morning Kai began to make his usual waking sounds, so I went in to pick him up. I found that he had managed to grab both of his feet and was playing with them, probably trying to stick them in his mouth. He’s been trying to grab his feet for days, but he usually needs a little help. Just goes to show what a difference a day makes.
Yesterday Kai also began grabbing at things on my desk when he sits with me at the computer. This officially marks the beginning of the baby-proofing stage. All small objects and breakable items will be put into storage, for approximately 18 years.
My best friend Ryan, along with his wife Laurie and daughter Sofia, are in town from Denver. Sofia just turned two on Saturday, and today we all went over to Harry P. Leu Gardens to see the camellias blooming and the rest of the pretty plants. Sofia seemed to love it, and Kai was digging it, too. He got to ride in his Snugli carrier on my back today, which he hasn’t done in a long time, mostly because he is so damn heavy! He weighed in at just over 18.5 pounds just the other day — and he’s only 4 1/2 months old. At this rate, he will be bigger than me in about 3 years.
Things are coming along here. I must say that supporting our family, even on our extra-lean, no-frills budget, is tough. I don’t know how we make it some times, but we work together and make it happen. Sometimes it takes a little help from our friends and family. And to be honest, Erin and I have been irresponsible in the past with our finances, and we both still deal with those consequences every day. The thing is, most of my financial challenges could have been avoided had I listened to my parents. There, I said it: mom and dad were right. Now, the next mission is to make sure that Kai learns the lessons, without the challenges that I’ve had. Which begs the question, how do I get those message across to him effectively? If you’ve figured it out, let me know. I’ll do likewise.
Until you read again, enjoy every moment, because this moment is all you’ll ever have. Cheers!
