We cannot believe how quick it goes, how crazy it feels, how little time it feels we have. And we only have one kiddo to keep track of!! We are MOVIN. I'm back to work - and clocking 32 hours a week so far...which according to most folks...is FULL TIME! Ouch. Topping off the two-job household is the classic 'car-breaking-down-while-taking-Kaleb-to-the-doctor" moment that Chris had the other day (with smoke coming out of the engine!). Good-bye faithful, free and fantastic Subaru.
But of course all the drama fades away when we take the second to reflect on what a blessed life we live and how we are so fortunate to have THIS little guy smiling back at us!! Exactly a year ago I was DUE to deliver this little bugger! 12 months already!
From the beginning, Kaleb loved his Kicky Chair! Most of you have seen him exert some serious energy making this chair rock. As with most things, we realized one day that dear Kaleb was too big for his favorite chair and it was time to let someone else have a turn.
So below, I'd like to introduce you to Baby Theodore Jack Thomas! He gets to snuggle up for as long as possible in the vibrating, singing, rocking happiness. And, unlike Kaleb who was 12 days late, Theo was 3 weeks early! So he's bound to have MANY more months in it than Kaleb.
Welcome Baby Theo!
Below is Kaleb's last time hanging out in the kicky.
On a side note - today Chris and I took Kaleb (now weighing 24lbs) on a 3 mile hike in his 7 lb backpack on the beautiful, sunny Oregon Coast with the youth group. The hike was labeled 'strenuous'. But we thought hey, I've been running...I can handle it, right?. Shortly...we started going uphill and we COULDN'T BREATH!!! We managed to complete the hike very slowly while passing the backpack back and forth over and over while panting. I remember Jennie Flete sharing a similar story with her toddler....Jennie we should've listened to you.
