We Finally Made The Move!

O.k, so I have a confession to make.... Kade has been sleeping in the pack 'n' play in our room since he was born. My goal was to move him to his own room over Christmas break and then it was over spring break. Well I did not meet any of those goals. It sounds silly but I just wanted him to be right in the same room with me all night. Well on Sunday night I'm not sure what came over me but after we did our nightly routine I just decided to put Kade in his own bed in his room. The rest of the night I kept asking Tim if he thought Kade would be okay and I kept telling myself people put their kids to bed in their own rooms every night and everything is fine. We got his night light and humidifier all set up in his room. We tested out the monitors; everything was good to go. I was really tired so I fell right to sleep. I woke up at about 1:00 in the morning and Tim was gone. So I got up and found him in the guest bedroom next to Kade's room. I woke him up and asked what he was doing in there. He said, "I just wanted to make sure we could hear him." It was so sweet that Tim secretly didn't want Kade to make the move either! Well we have made it all week now and it's going well. Tim and Kade are both making it all night in their own rooms!

He's Walking and Clapping with 2 Teeth!

Kade started taking a few steps over spring break, but this week he has really started to take off. The most steps I have counted at one time is 8. He is in such a hurry he ends of falling and crawling the rest of the way to where he is going. It's so funny to look up and see him walking around the living room. My little baby boy is growing up way too fast!
We have been working on clapping for awhile now. He just wasn't seeming interested. On Tuesday I picked him up at Ms. Lynda's and he was playing a game where you put a ball in the hole and it falls down the toy and out the bottom. She said that is his favorite toy at her house. I was watching him put the ball in and all the sudden he started clapping. I was so excited! Now he is clapping for everything. His little chubby hands are so cute when he claps them together. It's so funny how being a mom makes you so excited about little things like clapping. I just love watching him learn new things!
Kade finally has 2 teeth! These past few weeks have been pretty painful for everyone at the Bailey House. I thought we might all go crazy if those teeth didn't come in quick. His little gums were so swollen and looked so painful. We felt so bad for him and he was so FUSSY! Thank goodness for Motrin and Tylenol! It's funny to see him smile with his two little bottom teeth.
Hopefully I will post some new pictures soon; this has been a very busy week and I am so glad that tomorrow if Friday.

Wine Anyone??

Tim and I always said that when we had kids we were not going to re-arrange the house and we would just teach our children what they could and could not touch. We bought our house thinking that our back living area would be a play room and that is where the toys would stay. Well now that we are parents we realize the reality is that we were totally wrong! The entire house looks like a toy store exploded all the time and certain things around the house have had to be put up a little higher. Most of you probably know that Tim and I are very particular about the house and keeping things where they go and clean. Well, Kade has somewhat caused us to loosen up quite a bit.
One thing that we have always been pretty anal about is the carpet. We don't eat or drink on the carpet. We have a wine rack in our kitchen very close to where the kitchen and the living room meet. Neither one of us are wine drinkers, we have some wine bottles on the rack for decoration. I was in the kitchen talking to Tim on the phone when Kade crawled into the kitchen and grabbed onto the wine rack to pull himself up. He lost his balance and on his way down grabbed a wine bottle. Just as I was saying,"No, no Kade," the wine bottle fell on the tile and wine spilled out everywhere. I ran over and picked him up quick, thank goodness he was not hurt at all. He just looked at me and smiled. I put him in his bed and picked my phone back up and told Tim I had to go there was wine everywhere. The wine spilled into the living room covering a pretty big spot of the carpet. I scrubbed forever to try to get the wine up, all we had was a small bottle of carpet cleaner. The cleaner did not work well at all. I am hoping that we can find some better cleaner at the store or if anyone knows how to get wine out of the carpet please let me know. So the kitchen now smells like a bar and we have a huge purple spot on the carpet in the living room. We now have an empty wine rack in the kitchen and I am thinking it is going to stay empty until Kade goes to college!
