About 8 months

I am delayed on updating my blog. I started to create the posts, but never quite uploaded them.

 

 

Following the sun again

When Hank gets mad, he went through this phase where he would go flat on the floor and lick the ground. Weird!

There was a week here in the East Bay where it got really hot. 90- 100 degrees is not the usual. So Hank and I spent some time outside. He was the lucky one that got to wear a tank top.

 He loves to snuggle fabric and stuffed animals like this

 Sketchy neighbors that needed a glare I guess

 So Happy!

Life West, check! We finally get to say goodbye to schooling for Kc (except for paying back loans). It was a fun 3.5 years. Lots of studying, testing, time spent in clinic, early mornings, hardly getting to skip a class due to a strict attendance policy and free chiropractic care which was awesome. We met some cool people, moved from Alameda to the cheapest rent in the East Bay and had a baby during finals and boards. Kc has been done with classes and working for the past 3 months, but we had a great time celebrating his completion and becoming a true doctor this weekend. The rain kind of threw me off a bit, so much that I completely forgot our stroller at the ceremony in the theater, but we loved having our family come into town and join us for the ceremony.

Dad caught reading what looks like a sports illustrated as the ceremony was concluding

The rain and the humidity made us all look a little sweaty and made my hair and hank's hair go nuts!

 Eric and the Christensen crew, my parents are amazing fitting in three major events in two days! They are marathoners at life.

KC's San Mateo office. He is working really hard and loves what he does. He spends most of his life here now. If I want to see him I better pack a lunch and abduct him because some comatose man comes home every night that doesn't resemble KC. As everyone finds out after graduating, maybe school isn't that bad. But you have to move on at some point and we are thrilled to still be in the Bay Area. Also if anyone needs a chiropractor out there, I know an awesome one.

I made a slide show of Hank cause I have been taking a few pictures every few days.

Sleep walking

Kc's sleeping and Hank is practically walking. I am not a good writer and sometimes I just like to list things that have been happening in bullet form. 

-Hank started crawling, oh and then climbing up the first few stairs, and then standing everywhere with a hand for support. I thought I had a 6 1/2 month old but I guess he doesn't care what the books think he should be doing. 

- Hank loves to turn the Xbox on over and over because of the cool sounding beep, he uses it more than we have the past 4 busy months.

- Sometimes when I put Hank down for a nap I hear my blinds rustling, today I ran up to his room and he was standing in his crib holding back the curtain and strumming the blinds.

- Hank got his first tooth yesterday and it is sharp. 

The tooth

In the Bumbo a top our washing machine, he sits in there for maybe a minute but even less if I am trying to feed him baby food.

So KC is a deep sleeper, and sometimes he will fall asleep on the couch. I have learned not to move him. A few times I have tried to get him to move to our bed instead of the couch. But recently since KC's been working full time he has said some weird stuff when I try to wake him up to move him. This is a conversation last week:

M: Kc I am going to bed are you coming upstairs to sleep? 

K: Hmm? 

M:Are you coming up?

K:Yeah (but no movement at all)

M: Come on...

K: Turtle..(random gibberish) my client, turtle shell, ..(random gibberish)

M: Turtle Shell? What are you talking about

K: My client uh um a ... turtle shell

M: Ok you are crazy come to bed

The next day I tell him what happened when he wonders why he is on the couch. Last night when this happened, I said turtle shell to him while he is unconsciously sleep talking and he starts laughing in his daze. So he understands stuff, he just has no recollection of these things when he wakes up. 

On the move again

Last week we went to Monterey to meet up with some friends but also to help Josie and Eric move into their new place in Pacific Grove. It was fun to drive down to Monterrey and hangout in the beautiful weather all weekend.

A few days later we flew to Boise to visit my sister Emily and learn a little about their Chiropractic office. We had a great time hanging out, getting pointers at their office and babysitting their three kids. I forgot my camera which makes me so mad. It was my first time to go golfing with just Emily and it was a lot of fun. Hank was sick so he disturbed the family a little at night, but I am positive Emily is a baby whisperer. When we woke up on Mother's day and realized it was almost 10am I was stoked that he had slept for 5 hours straight. Sam, Drew and Shelby also brought me breakfast that my brother in law Jaren helped them make. When we babysat Kc and I took the kids to a school carnival, on a hike and to Dairy Queen. We had a great time and are so glad the Sayers let us come.
