Ryan came home for the weekend, this past weekend.  Kalder and I love when he comes home.  Kalder loved Ryan's tape measurer.  He is going to be a big help for his daddy when he gets bigger!  In this picture above I am 33 1/2 weeks preggo with Kalder's little brother/sister.  We are all getting so excited to meet this little baby!

Yesterday I just noticed that half a molar is poking through his gums!  I hate when he is in so much pain, but I cant wait until he can chew some real food.

Kalder will be 18 months next week.  I cant believe how fast a year and a half has flow by.  Kalder now will repeat anything you ask him to.  There are a lot of mispronounced words, but he gives it a try any how.  Its so cute.  I love that he is talking more and more.  His favorite word at the moment is "uh-oh".  Everything is uh-oh!  When he drops something to when he takes off his socks or even when he falls down!  Its adorable.

Kalder and his lovey

I couldn't grab my camera fast enough so its a photo off my phone....

But, Kalder and his dog!  It fits, since we have 3 dogs... that the stuffed animal of his choice be a dog!  He must have it to sleep and carries it from place to place when he is teething or sick.  This past week he has been sick so his doggy had gone every where.  From his bed, to his bath, to helping him brush his teeth.  He has just found this cubby in our office where he likes to hide out and snuggle his dog.  Love this little man so much!

Play time

March and there is still snow!  There will be snow for a couple more months yet where we live.  So we have to take advantage of a nice day and go play outside.  The snow was so hard we were actually able to walk out in our yard!  The fun did not last too long because Kalder took a header into one of our stairs.

Kalder's first boo boo

My big 3-0 birthday is coming up!  My parents sent my birthday present a little early, which I was extremely excited about!  They sent me a new camera!  My old one took blurry pictures whenever you moved...and to get a toddler to sit still for a picture.  Ha thats a joke.  Needless to say taking pictures of my son hasn't been the easiest.  Now with a wonderful new camera I am able to get clear pictures of my toddler running full speed!!  I love it and am so grateful to have such thoughtful parents!  They sent me the most perfect present.  I love having pictures to look back on.

Kalder's first "real" boo boo!  The little guy tripped while playing outside.  He went face first into one of our stairs on the porch.  Poor guy had a huge fat lip yesterday, then today he has a little cut.  Poor guy.  I think Kalder and I are both ready to play outside without snow clothes!

Baby Names...

I am 30 1/2 weeks pregnant.  We do not know what we are having.  Both of us love the surprise.  We have a cute girl name picked out since our last pregnancy, but as for boys names...that's another story!  We cannot agree or even kind of agree on a boys name!  Ryan came home this weekend and it was one of the topics we discussed.

First of all Kalder and I were super excited to see dada!  Ryan's time at home was too short and as for the next time we will see him....that is uncertain.  Ryan is going to be working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week.  We are grateful that he is a hard worker, but Kalder and I miss him a ton!

Now, as for boys names...Ryan is stuck on Danner.  He loves it.  He has also mentioned Kade, which I'm okay with but not in love with.  The names I choose are different...Id like to stick with an outdoorsy name without it being too granola!  Kalder means stream, our girls name means lake, so if we have another boy Id like it to mean something outdoorsy.  Dunley (meaning hilly meadow), Ridge, Trayton (meaning town full of trees), and River are all names Ive come up with.  I'm not "in love" with any of these name and Ryan isn't too sure about any of them.  As of now we may end up having a little boy that doesn't have a name for the first few days of his little life.  We do have about 9 more weeks to come up with something Ryan and I both like!  Hopefully we can come up with a few names we both really like!
