Kaleb is seventeen months old today. The 30th of every month is so incredibly bittersweet. I am so happy to be celebrating another month of my little monster's life, but at the same time, I can't believe my baby turned toddler is growing so fast. Every day I watch him learn more and more. Every day he is saying a new word. He is so tall and so beautiful! He is even getting hair. He may need a haircut by his....3rd birthday? And that's a BIG maybe! I love that he has an opinion. But I used to just get kisses..now I have to ask for them and I get a big head shaking no at me. I used to go in and put him right down for bed and now I get a screaming toddler not wanting to go to bed. It's funny because ever since he got this opinion, life has been a little harder. It's hard to make someone happy who wants to do the exact opposite of what Mommy or Daddy wants. But this just might be my favorite age. The only thing I would change is I wish he could communicate a little bit better. Some days the whole pointing thing just doesn't cut it! But nonetheless, he is growing and advancing, and happy and healthy. We are blessed.
Our life is about to get very busy. September through December are always nuts for us. We have birthdays galore! Then you mix in all the holidays and every day life, and it just gets crazy. My birthday kicks it off September 8, and this year I am going to be 25! My Dad told me the other day I am catching up to him...no Dad...you're still winning! Everyone keeps asking what I am going to do for this birthday, but I am thinking a nice dinner at home with the family sounds nice. My Mom said she would make whatever my little heart desires for dinner, so that sounds good to me! Roland is actually off work for my birthday, which is awesome because it is the first time in a few years he has had the day off to be with me. Kaleb is going to go to Grandpa and Gigi's house the day before my birthday and Roland is going to take me to do whatever I want and then my actual birthday I get to spend the whole day with my boys. I really am excited.
I am attaching a video of Kaleb practicing his words. So proud of my baby boy.
Note: Ignore toddler tantrum for about 2 seconds in middle of video. Sometimes moms with cameras are annoying.
