Time Flies

Hi, my name is Aimee. This is my blog, but I have thoroughly neglected it for almost a full month; and, in all honesty, will probably neglect it for another month following this post. You see, I am on a sweet little vacation called Maternity Leave, and will be until March 17, 2010. Right now my days are filled taking and picking up my sweet kindergartener from school and dance and holding, staring at and nursing my perfect baby boy. Right now, Kailyn is at her dad's and Myer is sleeping away, so I have set aside a few minutes of computer time for myself. The reason I have chosen today to catch up on my blog-loserness is because it is a special day. My teeny tiny newborn baby boy is ONE MONTH OLD TODAY! How sad is that? I look at pictures of Kailyn as an itty bitty baby girl and almost resort to tears over the fact that she is 6 years old, so I have been trying to relish in every single second of Myer's days so that I feel like his "babyness" doesn't slip through my fingers. Unfortunately, time passes and kids grow. Myer, in his one month existance, has already gained almost a pound and a half and has grown two and a quarter inches. That's right, people, I have a 10 pounder! WAAAWAAAWAAA!

Of course many other things have been happening as well. Nothing spectacular, so I won't be going into detail. I go into work once a week to help with accounts payable duties, so as not to bog down my co-workers, Joe has just finished up wrestling season and will soon begin to prepare for mowing, Kailyn is deep into Spring Production practice for dance and is learning to read better everyday, and Myer is eating, pooping and sleeping with the best of them! He does "talk" to us a little and we are patiently awaiting his first meaningful smile (not gas). Kailyn is the best big sister on the planet! She helps in any way possible and has done a GREAT job sharing her parent time, we are so so proud!

Well, Myer is awake and is currently telling his daddy how hungry he is, so I must go. Please know that I will come back to blogging regularly when I have a regular schedule, I promise! Until then, I hope everyone is well and continues to be! (And Good Luck to Lucas on his third trip to India, I know the progress will be even more astounding this time. We can't wait to hear from him!)
