Such a Ham!

Now that Kaliber is almost 8 months, he is getting such a fun personality! We were hanging out playing on his mat Saturday night when he decided to get adventurous. He layed down on his back and pulled the mat over his head. While he did that, all the puzzle pieces fell out so he could see there was a hole in the mat. Kale then decided he could crawl through the mat easy as pie. Quickly he found out that the mat had become apart of him and he crawled around the living room floor frantically trying to get the mat piece off of him. When he finally realized he couldn't do it on his own, he turned to me and did his new and hilarous "O" face. Kale let me know exactly how he felt about his entrapment and wanted my help ASAP. He's such a hoot to be around and is starting to ham it up for everyone he sees. I can't wait to see what he does next month that'll make everyone laugh and coo!

Please God let it be Teething!

So here I am at an hour I haven't seen since my teaching days. Why? Because Kaliber is...I don't know....teething...being difficult...or something to that effect. As you can see by the drool spot in the picture above, it probably is teething. In any case, I want to scream out "when are my days of sleepless nights, crankiness, diaper rash, and drool going to be over?!" Then I realize, not for the next 18 + years. Then I get even a little more depressed because I still have Rem in his old age. LOL Oh well, such is life. This too shall pass. For now, I'll just sit back and enjoy my drool covered wood floors, waking up to cuddle with Kale, laughing when he's cranky, and paste on the diaper rash cream.

Okay, so I'm kinda combining halloween pictures with Kaliber's 6 month pictures. I have a ton more of his 6 month pictures but really don't have the space to put them all on. Anyway, Kale's first Halloween was pretty great. He was a little hot dog and everyone got a big ol' kick out of it. We took him to the trick or treating on the trails which is a community shin dig. After that was all said and done, Grandma and Grandpa Dalke came and got our lil' hot dog and took him to Hutchinson. This was the first night Kale was away from us and boy was it weird! We dressed up as an 80's couple (thanks Meghann for the great hair!) and headed to a co-worker's Halloween party. Rem and I got in around 1 am and WE slept through the night! It was so weird to sleep and not have a baby to worry about. Needless to say, I still woke up WAY tired. I guess my brain was still on the baby even though he wasn't there. Grandma Dalke said that when she fed him his breakfast he was looking around and saying "mama? mama?" Kale was sooooo excited to see us which, totally melted my heart! I have to say, this was probably the best Halloween I've had in years. Dressing up takes on a whole new meaning when you have a baby to play doll with. hehehe
