Improve it does!

My knees slowly getting better a little bit every day. Any progress is good progress!

30... Here I come!

For my 30th birthday, I went to dinner with my hubby, son, best friend & her hubby. Our son was great all day & actually played in the pack & play while I showered & did my make-up. I even got to wear a dress! Nice to feel pretty once in a while.

Some people are asking me how I feel about turning 30. To me, it’s just another year. I’m right where I wanted to be & better than I ever dreamed (other than the knee & crutch LOL). I’ve been very lucky & am thankful.

Top soil!

Never thought I would be so excited about getting dirt in my life... on my birthday nonetheless!

We got top soil in our front & back yard today!!! Starting to look like a real yard. Next is… (drum roll please)… landscaping!

Who's that boy?

Our son's emerging personality traits:

• Mischievous - He very quiet when he doing something he’s know he’s not supposed to.

• Smart
o When he’s discovered playing with something he’s not supposed to, he will start to ‘play’ with another toy only to return to the “not allowed item” after you walk away
o Uses the sign language for eat, more & milk
o Understand the signs for eat, more, milk, drink

• Impatient
o Wants to eat without any wait for preparation
o Throws temper tantrums by sitting on the floor & crying, then crawls away when you reach for him to stop & cry some more. It’s like he saying “you’ve had your chance & I’m not happy now”.
o He can walk along furniture but is very cautious so he prefers crawling because it’s faster.

• Fussy eater - Will only eat certain things at certain times

• Playful & Funny
o Loves to laugh & play
o Will hide under blanket or napkin & play peek-a-boo
o Will crawl in & out of his tent & play hide & seek, laughing the entire time
o He loves to put things in his mouth, let it hang down & crawl away.
o Rarely sits still unless it’s close to naptime

• Charmer & flirt
o Charms everybody every time we go anywhere (grocery store, doctors & especially restaurants)
o Flirts with waitresses, patrons, clerks, & anybody with a face
o Talks non-stop at them until they look at him & then he gives this big smile

• Talker - Babbles non-stop. I tease my father-in-law that he’s going to be a talker just like me

• Affectionate (Gives hugs & kisses when you pucker your lips)

Where the blacktop ends

We got a driveway! With blacktop!!! Yay! No more gravel constantly tracking into our house!
