Changes in Life

Well things are changing for us. Friday July 14th we signed the final paperwork on our home and we are now HOMEOWNERS!!! After all of the worrying and the whole homebuying process we have finally finished!!! We will begin painting and texturing walls in the new house this weekend and cleaning the heck out of the house to get rid of all traces of dog ;) I am so excited to move into a home that is OURS, but on the other hand I am very sad to leave my neighborhood. I love it here and will miss my neighbors dearly. I love the relationship we have with all of them and just hope that the neighbors at the new place can come close to comparing with what we have now. I've been packing all week on this house and need to get a lot done today so that we can start moving boxes and stuff over this weekend! After waiting so long for this to happen and feeling like it never would now I feel like we just don't have enough time to get it all done! Kaeden seems a bit anxious about this move. He is always asking me "mom what about the computer when we move? what about my bedroom? what about my tv? what about my toys?" I think he's having a hard time comprehending that everything from this house will go to the new house. He's been acting out a bit lately also and I think it has a lot to do with Mommy/Daddy being stressed and the move being stressful. I'm so excited that he'll have his OWN room though!! well it will be the "boys" room but for now it will mostly be Kaeden's and I'm just sure he'll love having his own space. I hope things calm down a bit after we are all moved in and settled. Financially I'm totally freaking so hoepfully things will work out in the end.

Kai had his weight check on Monday and they still aren't happy with it. Last month he weighed in at 15lb4oz this month he is 15lb12oz. not a huge weight gain but enough that Im' happy with it! He eats like a HORSE! I cannot believe how much this kid eats and I have no idea where he's putting it all but I think he's healthy. The Dr wants me to give him formula with my breastmilk but even when I mix formula with breastmilk he refuses to drink it. He just hates formula and there's nothing I can do to change his mind! He is loving eating "real" food though and I think we'll just stick with that for now. He looks and acts healthy to me. I will discuss with his Dr next month (yes they want to see him for ANOTHER weight check) that maybe he just has a high metabolism. He is developing great mentally and physically so I think he's fine. He is now standing by himself all of the time. He crawls over to a toy or a couch or a table etc, pulls himself up and then lets go. Last night he even crawled onto his piano and balanced on the chair. I've got a pic of it that I'll post ;) That 4th tooth still hasn't broken through yet, but the 3rd one is coming down nicely. i've been calling him snaggletooth because it looks lonely up there LOL I am trying to teach kai to sign More and Milk and Drink so that maybe he can ask for what he wants rather then screaching and screaming at me to get it!! So far he just gets more angry when I try to get him to sign... Someday it will click. He knows what the signs mean, just won't make them for me ;) He's learned the word "sit" .. or what it means at least. His new favorite thing is to stand up holding onto the arm of the couch and when I tell him to "SIT" He'll throw himself backwards onto his butt and laugh at me. He will do this repeatedly. He loves this "game" I like that he'll sit rather then stand up and fall over the arm of the couch! I think he might be trying to say Dad as this morning when daddy got up for work Kailer wanted to follow him around the house and was crawling on the bed and to the bathroom saying "da" "Da". He then came into the bedroom and wanted back on the bed with me and said "ma". Not sure if it was coincidence or not but it was sure cute no matter what it was~!! He doesn't officially say anything yet, although it sure sounds like he says "hi" a lot too LOL I should get off of here and continue packing. I'll post a few pics real quickly and then pack and clean YIPPEE!! next time I update Kai will probably be walking :O That freaks me out! lol We will have our dish, internet and phone hopefully hooked up Fri the 28th at the new place so I probably won't get to update between now and then. Until later BYE BYE
