Walking

Well, apparently my little buddy has to stay ahead of the power curve.  This weekend, he really got a handle on walking, and now he does it all of the time.  It's pretty cute to watch.  He just amazes me more and more every day.  I love what he has brought to my life.

9 months

I can't believe it has been that long. My little peanut is so big now. A lot has happened since my last post. I finished nursing school, passed my licensure, and finally started working in October. Life has not slowed down one bit. I am enrolled in my bachelor's degree program, and have knocked out two classes with a 4.0. I just can't believe so much time has passed since this:
 On the way to my follow up appointment
 Here are some photo moments of the last 9 months.Puppy love


 Touchdown! First immersed bath, in a towel that doesn't fit anymore!
 Me and my cuddle buddy
 Holding his head up to look at me
 I miss this face!
 Meeting a puppy for the first time, they are the same age
 Tummy time!
 My happy, outdoor, morning baby!
 Drool monkey on our first Flagstaff trip:
 I really wonder what he was thinking
 More puppy love!
 Itty bitty puppy love!
 First plane trip!
 First watermelon, which led to first infant heimlich Juggling suitcases and baby got to be too much.
 He loves him some water
I love this smile
 My boys in the lake
 Happy after-bath spikey-head
His reaction to refried beans was priceless
Love puppy attack!
 "Will ya let me in already?!"
 Peek a boo, Mommy can't move!
 First time in a swing
 I can't catch the cat!
Daddy enjoys messing with me. He didn't want me bumping my head.
 First Halloween
 Best buds
 Hasn't figured out how to get out of the box And finally, the dancing baby

Oh, how the time flies!

I can't believe my little guy is 5 months old. It seems like just yesterday my water broke. That little 7 lb 4 oz baby has doubled his birth weight. He is figuring out his toys. He just loves his jumperoo. He hasn't wanted to stay on his back in almost a month. If you put him down on his back, he rolls over in less than 5 seconds. This kid is growin! He's very interested in his environment and learning to interact with it.


Oh yes, and this kid loves to eat!

There are no words....

Turning Point

This weekend marks a turning point in my life. I will be starting my preceptorship and winding down nursing school. I have about a month and a half before RN appears behind my name. My preceptorship will take place in a labor and delivery triage unit. I will be helping to tell people whether or not they are in labor. It should be fun! I have applied for a position in this unit. That is the hard part. Will I find a job? Two of my classmates are lucky and have positions, but they have worked hard in their respective hospitals to get those positions. All I can do is hope that the light shines out of my ass enough during my preceptorship that they hire me.

Relief

I just got the call. Kyle got into Eller College of Business at the University of Arizona. We weren't sure if he was going to, and were coming up with a contingency plan that involved moving to God knows where. The big deal is, this is the #1 public school for his program in this country. We were concerned that if he didn't get in, we were going to have to pay Ivy League tuition to get him into a comparable school. We also would have likely had to move to the east coast. This, however, does not have to happen. We get to stay here, in my own personal hell for two more years, and I am actually relieved.
