The day started off interesting, a water main break occurred in Baltimore the night before so we scrambled to make sure the museum would be open. Then our lunch plans down the Inner Harbor fell short and we escaped the city for a quiet Asian cuisine. Karson also decided the night before he wanted to be awake to wish me a Happy Birthday at exactly midnight. We watched my birth video and he was pumped for a family DVD marathon. After several attempts for bed, he went down and we all passed out. 5 am my birthday morning and BOOM! he was bright eyed and bushy tailed. We made it to the museum and he was awesome (just sat in his umbrella stroller like a little art critic), there was some really funky stuff there. Mom noticed that the majority of the artists had some form of mental illness, I guess that is what allowed them to think outside of the box. I wish I had the ability to let go of reality a little more when I'm crafting. Be a bit more abstract. I also wish I had the patience! Mom bought Kurt and I two day of the day tiles for our bar wall, we love em! I saw a Zoltar machine and I had to get my fortune, of course it hit home-"Now is the time to start that new project you have been contemplating. Your deliberation will pay off in the long run because doubt is the father of invention and key to knowledge." Could not agree more. Our Date night was fantastic, we re-connected and talked each other's ears off. The food was yummy and I have to say Kurt cleans up pretty well ;0) I told him I wanted another baby for my Birthday, hahaha that was before complete and utter exhaustion set in. We had a wonderful day filled with family, love, art, naps & a total food coma.
Enough of me! Karson has made leaps and bounds the last three days, just as I was beginning to wonder when all these milestones I read about were ever going to happen? When we were getting dolled up for our date, Karson was lying on his play mat completely content. I looked down to check on him and the little booger was on his belly, after he realized what had happened he completely freaked! He rolled over from back to front all by himself. We thought maybe it was a fluke, well darn it the little booger did it again!!! Best present ever. I have been working with him endlessly on rolling over, starting solids and holding his bottle. The other day I was not holding his bottle high enough and he politely took control and well since then has never looked back. I mean he gets a little lazy sometimes, but he is definitely on his way. Last night we went over to Mom's for a pizza party. I packed some apples just in case he decided to get a little crazy. Well he went crazy!!! He was eating them up. I couldn't believe it, the little boy that was projectile spitting rice cereal at us not even two days ago was scarfing these apples up! We will be attempting more apples tonight. I can't believe how fast my baby is growing. All of these monumental milestones will soon be just a sweet memory and I am not missing one of them! Camera in hand at all times. Oh lord I sound like my mother!
Next up on the agenda: Getting Karson to take naps, especially without me. I don't mind most days because I need the naps in order to work nights, but when I don't have to work its such a waste of time. I do of course love that he wants to cuddle! I know sooner than later he will be on the move and not wanting Momma hanging on to him. Unfortunately or fortunately-depending how you look at it he is no longer into nursing anymore. I am trying to hang on for a couple more weeks. I know my body is sore and tired of it, but my mind loves the quiet time I get to share with my little boy. I know I have said it before, but I am so happy I pressed on and did not give up on breastfeeding. Than again, "quitting" was not in my vocabulary. My boy might be determined and strong willed, but guess what so are Mommy & Daddy!
