If you don't succeed try try again!

So my life has been pretty busy and really I just got bored with blogging so I quit. I was reading this girl Kelly's blog. I don't know much about her except that she is a WONDERFUL role model. She is a wonderful christian woman! I was reading her blog and she was talking about why blog. One of her reasons was to remember your child's life and she had me there. It is so true. There are so many things that I can remember now but I could soon forget and using this I could always have something to look back on.

Update on Kale:
Kale turned one in February and was walking before his first birthday. The kid runs now! He is such a busy little boy. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with his energy. He is into everything barely sits down for a second! However, as tiring as he can be I would not trade it for anything in the world. He is very curious. He says "dat" and points when he wants to know what something is OR when he is trying to be cute and wants to have something that he is not really allowed to have like soda. It is amazing to see how much he learns each day. I have to say that I am pretty sure (knock on wood) that I am going to have a very intelligent child. The kid LOVES books. I wonder if there are other kids out there like him? He will grab a book off his book shelf, or out of his toy box and bring it to you to read him. Today, I pretended to ignore him (to see what he would do) he grabbed my hand, opened it, placed the book in my hand and sat in my lap. The only down fall to his love of reading is he will expect you to read to him until he gets tired of this, that is not the bad part, the bad part is he expects you to read him the same book over and over and over and over. I think I have a few of his books memorized. There have been days lately where he has sat in my lap and I have read him five books. I love that my little boy loves books. I love books; I always have. I just recently finished a danielle steel book a 400 page book in two days. Ryan loves books as well so I think it hopefully will be inevitable for Kale to love to read too! Another cute thing Kale does is dance. The kid loves to dance in his car seat he will dance and at home when certain music comes on. It is the cutest thing EVER! The boy definitely has an attitude though. We are working on it. I feel bad because he has been getting in trouble a lot lately, but I feel like he is testing his limits and I want him to know that Ryan and I don't put up with nonsense. I came from a strict family and I plan to run a tight ship myself. I do not want to be as crazy strict on him as my parents were; but, he will mind! Lately he does this unhhh screaming thing when he gets in trouble. So when he does this he gets popped again. He also has not fully grasped or chooses not to grasp the concept of NO. You tell him no and he looks at you and does it anyway. This is being put to an end too!

I am finally done with school and getting to stay at home and enjoy time with him and I love it! He is such a happy, wonderful baby. Hopefully it is sunny tomorrow and I will be able to take him outside. The kid loves to be outside!
