Playing in the Snow!

Yesterday Kalder and I took advantage of the warm sun!  Kalder is getting to the point where he would much rather be outside than inside!  Spring is coming and we both cannot wait!  Kalder has learned that he has to stay on the packed snow to walk around without falling.  We spend a lot of time in our driveway or walking up and down the street.  He loves to put the cold snow in his mouth.  For the first time ever Kalder was able to get up after falling down on his own.  Not just once either but multiple times!  Since my belly is growing this allowed us to spend more time outside, which was so nice for the both of us!

Kalder and his dogs!

Today I was thinking about how tiny Kalder was when he was born.  I figure I am thinking of this more and more as my due date with the new baby is approaching fast.  I was thinking about how Kalder had little frog legs that wouldn't go straight for the longest time.  I was also thinking about how he would just snuggle on my chest and sleep!  Oh how I miss those moments, but I am enjoying the little boy Kalder is becoming.  My favorite thing he does is say erriosiosiosios....for Cheerios.  He does this as he is wiping his chin with his finger (the sign for cereal).  In the last two weeks his vocabulary is expanding daily.  At this point I cant list all the words he is saying or at least I'm understanding :)

A couple of days ago, Sierra, one of our dogs was excited to play with Kalder and picked up her teddy bear and was carrying it around in her mouth.  Kalder's bear was right next to Sierra's...Kalder runs over there and picks up his bear with his mouth.  Then he stands up with this huge smile on his face and looks me in the eye and says dog!  Oh he cracks me up!

In the picture below I asked Kalder to say hi dada...and he did exactly that.  I am so lucky to be able to stay at home with this little dude of mine!

27 Weeks and New Beginnings??

Well...

I have had a lot to think about these last couple of weeks.  Probably a bit too much, but life always throws new and fun adventures at you.  Well, that is how I am thinking of it now :)

Ryan just got a new job in Rawlins, WY.  It is 5 hours away from our house.  Its not too far, but far enough that we wont be able to see him unless we go there.  Ryan told me he was going to get laid off again from his company here in town so I put out a few resumes on the Internet.  Thank goodness he had a couple calls back.  One was 9 hours away and then there was the Rawlins job.  Its a great opportunity for him.  He is doing industrial electrical work, which he has not ever done before.  He started on Monday and so far he is enjoying it.

As for Kalder and I...

We miss daddy!  We are used to him being gone all week due to work, but he has been coming home on weekends.  This new job doesn't allow enough time off to come home for the weekends.  Ryan has rented a room in a hotel for a month.  Kalder and I will be joining Ryan this Friday to give it a try down there.  If I wasn't pregnant there wouldn't be too much to think about.

Being 27 weeks pregnant as of today :)  I have an apt next week with the doctors...then from there on out its every two weeks for an apt.  I am a lot more uncomfortable than the last pregnancy and my tummy has gotten bigger faster.  But I feel this little baby moving a ton more than my first pregnancy which is real neat.  I am getting really excited to meet our new little one.

I would really like it if my husband was at the delivery of his new baby and since my labor was only 3 1/2 hrs with Kalder I'm thinking this labor will go just as quick if not quicker.  Ryan would never make it to the birth of his new son/daughter.  So, I will be meeting with a doctor in Rawlins, WY to see if I can find a good fit.  I sure hope so!  As for the future of our little family....its quite uncertain if Ill be in Victor or Rawlins.  I have figured it out though.  If I don't go down there and spend some time in the city of Rawlins I will not know how to make a decision on what is best for our family.  So Friday Kalder and I will take a little journey through Wyoming to meet up with Daddy!  We cannot wait to see him!
