Its Been a While!

Oh wow. Seeing as how my last post took place when Kellen was 4 months old, its easy to do the math. Its been exactly one month since I posted. Surely you're all sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what we've been up to lately...

And rightfully so. Its exhilarating stuff.

- Lots of eliminating foods:
Kellen has decided to be "sensitive" and react to nearly everything I eat. In an desperate effort to find the offender, I had to eliminate milk, soy, eggs, beef, wheat, nuts, tomatoes, citrus, strawberries and corn all at once. Trivia question: What can I eat? Answer: NOTHING! The first three days I literally shook from lack of crap food. I've learned a few things in this journey. 1) I eat mostly junk 2) hank eats only junk 3) people that shop at health food stores must spend their entire paycheck on groceries 4) i'm addicted to foods that contain soy and anything that contains flour 5) from now on, we are eating much healthier around here.

Today my doctor determined that we may never figure out what is bothering him. Soooo...I'm done! First stop? Cafe Rio. Second? Sweet Tooth Fairy.

I feel like a glutton already.

Meanwhile, George is eliminating chicken, rice and vegetables and is on a strict diet of venison and potatoes. Yeah...our food budget is shot to hell this month.

- Lots of working & school:
Hank works and goes to school all day then comes home and plays super dad at night. I work and play mom all day. To state it eloquently, its very hard. We're so thankful for family that helps to ease our burden! And its so worth it because....

- Lots of gawking over our baby:
He's simply amazing. We are still in awe of our little creation and its highly unlikely this fascination will die down anytime soon. He couldn't be more perfect. He has brought more joy to our lives than we could ever have imagined. He giggles, flirts, squawks, smiles at himself in the mirror, eats his toes, pees in the bathtub every time...you name it, I'm in love with it.

- Lots of traveling:

We went to Florida to attend the funeral and mourn the loss of my sweet grandpa who passed away last month.

And we traveled to Morgan (thanks Mari!), Utah to attend Hank's cousin's wedding reception. I had no idea such a place existed but I'm grateful for the chance that we had to go on a little adventure to see our family...especially for Kellen to meet his Great Grandma Evadean.

This is my absolute favorite picture...it looks like they just cracked a great joke.

- Lots of flowers:

My favorite place in the world is probably still the tulip festival. Hank's least favorite place is also still the tulip festival. Good thing it was my turn to plan our family activity!

In summary, we're extremely tired. Until next month! XOXO :)

Cutest Husband Ever.

Today I wasn't able to make it to Kellen's 4 month doctor's appointment. Hank offered to take the little guy by himself. Naturally, I was a little concerned he would forget to mention all of my concerns...because lets be honest, I am THAT parent that asks 100 questions.

He didn't call me right after which made me a little nervous. I was dying to hear the doctor's thoughts on a few things. I called him and kept trying to get him to answer questions, but he wouldn't. And this is why...

He recorded the entire doctor's visit. 22 minutes of it. All so I could hear everything she had to say. And its super cute.

Listening to him discuss the developmental steps of our baby definitely melted my heart.

I like him.
