4 days left to get ready for our trip to AZ!!! We are so excited! Kind of nervous about the road trip with an 8 and a half year old BUT I'm sure he will be fine :) We have lots of things for him to do in the car... and hopefully he sleeps for a good chunk of the trip! So much to do while we are there... so many people to see! Hopefully there is enough time for it all! We have lots of "plans" but only one day is definitely planned... a day with my mom :) We plan on going to the zoo with my best friend and her kiddos, maybe a spring training game with my brothers, and visiting family and friends. It will be a very full week, but a very fun week! I miss my friends and family so much... it will be good to go back home and see everyone!
So Koleton is being stubborn about crawling (I wonder who he gets that from lol) so we have moved on to standing on his own. I found a play table at Goodwill for $4 a little while ago... it just needed some cleaning and it works great :) Saved us like $40!!! Anyhow, yesterday I stood him up at it and he kept leaning his butt back to make sure I was there. And turning around grabbing me, just to make sure he wouldn't fall. Today he stood there, balancing and catching himself when he would start to fall :) He just caught on so fast! I couldn't believe how great he was doing! We've also started "walking" him ;) I hold his hands and his little feet just move! He "walks" everywhere... especially to go see daddy. He may just skip crawling all together... but if he wants to get somewhere, he can :) Mostly he looks at me like "ummm mama? A little help here?" lol He would rather I carry him to where he wants to go than crawl lol He will be up on his hands and knees and if he catches sight of me, he drops to his tummy and his legs and arms start going. I've said it before, but he is a little stinker! I couldn't love him more though!

Seems like Koleton might just skip the traditional crawling (he does scoot pretty good, though) and head straight on to walking! I think Joel pretty much did the same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're pretty well prepared for a road trip, and seems like he did do well for you. Will see how it goes on the return trip with a dog in tow! Could be interesting!
We really loved seeing you guys! It was wonderful finally meeting Koleton (and his daddy, of course!) and seeing your brothers, too. It has been entirely too long! Thanks for fitting us into your very busy schedule in the short time you have to do everything! You're going to need a vacation when you get home! ;-D
Hope you enjoy your visit to "sunny" AZ (can you believe the rain and colder temps?) and have a safe trip home!
