Busy Busy Busy

I have already broke one of my New Years Resolutions! I wanted to make sure that I blogged more but things have been very busy around here and when I get some free time I feel like doing absolutely nothing. So I am renewing my resolution starting now! Kylen has been a sick little boy the past two weeks. He had balanitis along with the flu and now he has a bad cold. We spent February 3rd in the emergency room and he was starting to get better when all of a sudden he got a cold. This boy does everything full throttle! Kylen has had his good nights and bad nights since he's been sick and last night was a bad one. He only wanted to sleep on me while I rocked him. Of course he has passed his cough and cold on to me so it was a rough night to say the least. Hopefully our little guy will start to get better or else we will be paying the pediatrician another visit.

Meanwhile my pregnancy is going well. Landon has been a much different pregnancy than Kylen was. Landon rarely moves which worries me constantly. I share my concerns with the doctor each time I go but he always has a strong heartbeat so they don't seem too worried. Doctors typically want 10 movements an hour which Landon never gives. I am lucky to get that many movements in an entire day. Kylen was a constant mover and still is! I could always get him to move by drinking some juice and laying down if he was having a lazy day but that is not the same with Mr. Landon. I try it all and rarely get a response. I much rather him do karate moves in my belly than be so calm but maybe this means he will be a relaxed baby! So different than our K-man! I guess time will tell. His lack of movement has been the biggest difference but my heartburn seems worse this time around. And although I am just as exhausted as last pregnancy, I don't have the time to relax since I am chasing a one year old around all day. I only have about five weeks to go. I am getting to the point of being very uncomfortable. You know, that time when even putting on shoes is a tough and frustrating task. It will be here before we know it and I am very excited to meet my son :o)

Kylen's First Birthday Party!

We had a family birthday party for Kylen on January 15th. It was very nice because Rene was in town and he had Myles and Lakai for the weekend so all the cousins were able to attend. We had the party at our house where we bar-ba-qued and the kids ran around playing tag. Kylen had a great time toddling around outside but when it came time to open presents he was exhausted and not as excited as I thought he would be.

Michelle made a delicious lemon-blueberry cake for Kylen. He wasn't too happy when we sat him down to sing "Happy Birthday" and have cake but once we all started singing and he got a taste of his cake, he turned into a happy camper. 

The cake- YUM!

Not a happy camper

After presents and cake, all the boys and Lakai headed to the park across the street. They ran around like crazy while the rest of us stayed back and cleaned up. The kids came back tired but not nearly as tired as the big kids-Rene, Andrew and Seth.  It was a great time and a very nice first birthday party for Kylen.
