Fall

How in the world is it already October?  Seriously, this Summer flew by and I have no other excuses for no blogs other than we were out doing stuff and having fun and I was too lazy to go to the basement and get on the 'puter.  So tonight I spent over an hour uploading and organizing photos...I'm tired.

This Summer Harper turned 4, started dance class, swim lessons and preschool.  She is becoming her own little person, sassy and sweet.  She loves her princesses, but also "Inja" Turtles (her favorite is the purple one).  Her drawings are so adorable, and she really loves to do arts and crafts (can't wait to take her to Michaels lol).  She has a love hate relationship with her Daddy, but man does she love Booker, or as she calls him, her baby.  She plays with him and love to make him laugh (and boy can she get him going with those deep belly laughs!).  I am so excited to watch them grow up together and develop that friendship. 

We also had to get Harper's tonsils and adenoids out the week after her birthday.  She did great, and was sick of ice cream by the first day.  She wanted to go out and play and get to school.  Then the pain hit and it was a long week.  Seems to be working though, no ear infections since then, and only one cold!  I'll take it. 

Booker is growing like a weed!  At his last appointment (6 months!) he weighed in at 18.6 lbs and 26 inches.  He's our big boy!  He loves to smile and laugh, and loves to eat food!  So far we haven't found a thing he doesn't like, although we suspect an allergy, just not sure to what yet.  He is crawling and pulling himself up on everything, and we think he'll walk before Christmas.  Eeeeks!  I am not ready for this.  Baby proofing here we come.  Oh, and sleep.  He loves his sleep.  I adore that!

Erich and I celebrated our anniversary with a mini trip to Sioux Falls to visit friends and attend a Jazz Festival.  It was a nice, relaxing, kid-free weekend, and I can't wait to make an annual trip out of it. 

Work has been crazy for both of us.  Erich has a new position at work, and I have been officially retained, so no layoff for me at this point, so that's one less thing to worry about...for now :)

My sister and her family moved back shortly after Booker was born, and I don't think I realized how much I missed them.  It has been so great getting to do things with them, and am excited to carve pumpkins with them this year...and the teenage babysitter is a nice perk :) 

It feels like we did more, but that about sums up our Summer!  I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking...until 2015 lol!

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which ...

Groundhog's Day

So, welcome to 2013!  January was full of busy-ness in the Kant home, what with potty training in full effect, work being super busy and, well, I'm just really tired.  Plus we moved out office into the basement and let's face it, out of sight, out of mind.  And despite the ipad and iphone within arm's reach, I can't figure out how to post from the damned things, so there you have it.  Like I said, January went by in a blur, but luckily the groundog (and more importantly, my mom, whose birthday is also today) didn't see their shadows, so yay! 6 weeks until Spring.  Harper has begun potty training (well, has been in panties full time since late December) and is doing great with the potty piece of it.  The pooping? Not so much, and what sucks is that she really couldn't care less when she drops one in her panties...this mom, however, could do without shaking poop out of panties multiple times a week. Our only saving grace is that she goes to the same place ...

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t...
