My Little Man

Man, things have been crazy around our house with me being back in school and Kimball studying for his PE exam. School is going well. I really love my Writing Center class and I started taking consultations this week and that has been great. It is very rewarding to be able to help someone with their writing, I am really enjoying it. My other class is a little more of a struggle (I don't seem to be the only one so this makes me feel better). It is a Cultural Studies class and is very high level theory. We spent the last two classes discussing one piece of the puzzle, that is how complicated this is. I have to do a final paper/presentation and I am going to do it on "The Flavor of Love" show on VH1. I am embarrased to admit I watch it but it is kind of addicting and offers a lot for a cultural study so we will see how that goes. Bear is really enjoying his time with my buddy Danielle and her son Owen and of course with his Grandma Chooks. I am just so grateful I didn't have to put him in daycare.


Here are some fun pictures of Bear. I was messing around with the camera getting some close ups. I just think he has the most beautiful eyes and the sweetest little lips. He is now giving big slobbery kisses, which of course I ask for on an hourly basis. The other day Danielle sent Bear home in this shirt... Kimball always teases Owen's dad about wearing pink so this was kind of a joke on Kimball. I think Bear looks pretty nice in pink though. Watch out Kimball, we better have a girl next or I will be buying pink clothes for the next one :)

This is a little sweater I made for Bear that I have been dying to have him wear... we had a chilly day so I got to pull out the sweater! He loves that stuffed cat. We have started calling it Lurk cause my Grandma's neighbor got it for him and that is his nickname from my Dad. Bob, his real name, likes to peer out his garage at everyone driving by in the neighborhood. Hope he doesn't read my blog.

Bear has also taken to rolling around the whole house in order to get from A and B. I read that crawling was not considered a developmental milestone, so maybe this is his version... he is pretty good at getting where he wants, especially when it involves Chuie, his best friend ever!

And the final installment for the week.

Do you think he needs to lose weight? Just kidding, that shirt is 9 months and since he had never worn it and soiled his other clothes I thought I would try it on him. It doesn't fit... obviously. I have had to put away all of his 9 month clothes and some of them he never wore cause it was too hot...
