Happy Valentine's Day!
Hello there!
Kale asked me to log in and wish everyone a 'Happy Valentine's Day'! We posted some pictures below, they show up in a few posts because the computer isn't cooperating for me tonight.
Kale's been doing well, however he got his first ear infection a few weeks ago...not fun! He struggled with it for about 2 weeks because the first medication didn't work so we had to go back. He lost some weight since he wasn't eating well throughout that, but he's about back up to what he started at. As of last Thursday he was at 14 lbs. 5 oz. He hasn't had any other doctor appointments really since our last update. He has his 9 month check up in a few weeks so we'll see what they have to say but hopefully they feel like he's on track! He is now sitting up almost on his own, the only thing he struggles with is when he tips from side to side. He doesn't quite know to put his hands down to catch him if he's falling. He is grabbing objects now all the time, so it seems like his eye/hand coordination is improving. We're pretty sure he's close to teething, he's drooling like a madman. He could easily go through 5 bibs/day, we're doing a lot more laundry now. He's been eating baby food every few days to get the hang of it. He's a fan of sweet potatoes!
As for Derc and I, we got to go on a valentine's day date last night. My parents came down from Cedar Rapids to watch Kale so we could have a night out. We went to a wonderful restaurant in DM called Irina's. While at dinner we were trying to decide what to do afterwards, and we decided to go roller skating!! It was awesome and hilarious. I was sure we would be the oldest ones there by at least 10 years. Turns out we weren't! I was pretty impressed with our skills. Neither of us fell, but I'm not gonna lie, I came real close once but pulled it off somehow. I also got a blue raspberry icee that was the size of a football. Yep, my mouth was bright blue as I was rollerskating around the rink with my hubby. Priceless :)
Life has been a bit hectic the past few weeks for Derc and I. I have been traveling every week for week as I train for my new job so Derc has been Mr. Mom quite a bit, but he handles it very well. I am loving my new job though! Derc has been busy with work too, he has been training a few new team members on his team.
The pictures below show Kale's baptism from a few weeks ago. We had family come in town from lots of places, Seattle, NY, MN, WI. For many of them it was the first time they got to meet Kale so it was really nice that he could meet his extended family! Pastor Perry baptised him and Kale slept through the whole thing, he did great!!
I think that's about it for now, we'll keep you posted as Kale has his appointments over the next month. Hard to believe that he is already 9 months old!!! Three months from now we'll be celebrating his first birthday, it's absolutely crazy how fast it's gone.
Have a happy Valentine's Day!!
