Slacker

Caleb eating his morning "bay"

he climbed into the bathroom sink. look how proud he is. he can climb anything!

sitting on the potty reading pooh. lol.

here he had climbed into his high chair and then got down on his own and was saying "stuck! stuck! mom, stuck!" but i had to grab the camera before helping him free. hahaha.
.....i have been a total slacker with my blog. what have we been up to? well, my beautiful baby neice, alana, was born on 9/23! she is gorgeous just like her sisters. those girls have my heart! :)
what else.... i tried to crash a chemistry class (one if the pre-reqs i need for the nursing program) last month but was unsuccessful. there were so many people wanting to add and nobody wanted to drop! i was seriously disappointed. i just want to move on with my life; get things going, you know? i'm trying to get into an online psychology class (another pre-req) that starts at the end of the month. i'm 2nd on the waiting list but no word back yet if i'll be able to. BUT... i love the place i'm in as john's wife and caleb's mommy. so if now is not the right time to go back to school, then no big deal. i'm gonna enjoy every moment i have with my guys!
still no luck in the trying-to-conceive department, of course. we'll be coming up on a year in december. i have to say that it does suck but it's not as bad as last time. i'm ovulating so i guess we just have to keep trying. i know it will happen in God's timing; in God's plan. waiting isn't easy though.
we are seriously broke. broke as a joke. no money, honey. no tengo dinero. it. sucks. big. time.
no further progess on the potty. still just sitting on it 3-4 times a day. sometimes i'll find him sitting on it, diaper on, with a book in his lap. i'm going to try "potty training" when he's 22 months. someone told me that that is the perfect age to teach kids. so we'll see.
he amazes me every day with how much he knows! the other day i walked in on him "reading" the Little Drummer Boy singing "bum, bum, bum, bum". it brought tears to my eyes. he actually knew what book it was and remembered the words. his vocabulary is shocking too. he told his grammy "I DO IT!" the other day and when i asked him "where's the moon?" he answered "right there, mom". he can climb anything. we had to put our knife block on top of the fridge so he can't get to them. crazy kid! scares me half to death!
i love him so much.

Hi Kim!
I am still here, reading your blog and checking in on you from time to time. I LOVE the pics of your cute little guy! He's adorable! Getting so big! And I seriously empathize with the whole feeling broke thing...Ty and I were in that very same situation for a VERY long time when Luke was little. Its a little better now, but being a SAHM is always a sacrifice in the financial realm...but well worth it in all the other ways! Praying for God to bless your family abundantly! :) Kristin
