Insert foot in mouth...

Kaiden's newest favorite thing is "eating" his feet! He loves sticking his feet in his mouth, and just yesterday realized he can make funny sounds by moving his foot back and forth quickly... Weird kid! lol

Knitting needles

Knitting needles are *much* neater when they're properly stored! For the longest while I've had all my needles laying loose in a wicker basket. Not any more I tell you! While I was out buying fabric dye for some prefolds I'm getting, I picked up some fabric to make a roll case for my knitting needles. Much neater, and now I don't have to search for a needle's mate! Yay!

Yummy Applesauce!

Kaiden had his first taste of "real" food today! I was at Mom's, and decided to give him a little applesauce during dinner. He loved it!! Only had a tiny amount, since it was sweetened, just a couple licks worth. Still counts though, and no mess that way! . ;)

Bathroom fun!

I got my tax refund back last week, and we decided we'd re-do the bathroom with part of the refund. It's a *tiny* room, and very ugly... The walls are a bright green, with dark forest green ivy leaves painted all over the walls. There are also wooden (forest green) towel racks that I really don't care for. The sink is old, and the vanity has seen much better days. I guess that's what we get for buying a "fixer-upper" for a house!

We purchased a medicine cabinet, cupboard for over the toilet, new towel racks, tp holder, etc, and will be picking up the vanity and sink this weekend. They're all oak finish, and though not the biggest best out there, it is a huge improvement over what it looks like now! We'll also be repainting the walls, with a mold-resistant paint. I can't for the life of me remember the name, but it's supposed to keep away mold for 5 years.

Here are some "before" pics. I couldn't get good shots since the room is so small, but, I'm sure this will give you decent idea of how it looks right now.

Guess who's rolling...

Kaiden is! He still doesn't roll from tummy to back, but I think that's just because he *hates* being on his stomach. He IS rolling from back to tummy, though he hasn't let me witness it yet... I lay him down in the crib for his naps during the day, on his back. After he wakes up, I go down to get him, and he's not only sideways, he's on his belly! He's been doing this for almost a week now, I'm sure I'll get to witness it during playtime soon enough. :)

He's also sitting up completely unassisted now! He's getting to be such a big boy! For the longest while he could sit on his own, but he'd throw himself backwards almost immediately. Now he's sitting up for extended periods, and no flinging himself backwards!



Today in his super cute Goodwill outfit (left), and the other day sporting a wickedly cool GAD in a construction print! (right)

In other news, K got his new carseat. It's a Britax Boulevard, and I LOVE it! It was very easy to install, and I love the adjustment knob to change the height of the straps. No more taking the seat apart when baby gets taller!

The belly pad is a bit of a pain, but if that's my biggest complaint, it's still an excellent car seat!
