i'm baaaaaaaaack!!!!

Sorry blog fans! I've been MIA lately! But...I do have a good excuse. While in Sioux Center a few weeks ago I actually LEFT MY CAMERA!!! I felt so lost for the past few weeks without it. But, it did give me a chance to hear that many of you were missing updated pictures of Kase! I'm happy to hear that people actually read and enjoy this thing! :)

OK, here's what new with Kase:

1. He loves to have pillow fights...the rougher the better! I credit Uncle Josh to discovering this new fascination. Kase loves it when we put all the pillows and cushions on the floor and play rough!2. We love anything with wheels

3. "Melmo" = Baby & Mommy's new BFF. Melmo/Elmo can give around a 5-minute time frame where Kase is fixed on the TV so Mommy can sneak out of the room to empty the dishwasher or change the laundry, or do anything else housework related.

4. "Pup-pups"

This puppy was a gift from his wonderful babysitter, Vicki, and he loves to carry it around! It's much too big for him to carry, and he looks quite awkward carrying it, but he loves it!

5. Hats - Kase's hats, Daddy's hats, girl hats...Kase loves all hats. The best is when we put a hat on his head, he gives a big cheesy smile, and says "cool." :) Yes, baby boy, you are VERY cool!

6. Coloring - This was an accidentally found favorite. One day while I was home, Kase was extremely clingy. So, out of desperation, I found some colors and a picture of his new BFF Elmo...and it was love! He now knows where the colors and coloring books are stored, and will take me to the cupboard when he's ready to color!

7. The oven drawer
Most of the cupboards/drawers in our kitchen have child locks. The only 2 remaining are a drawer of tupperware, and the oven drawer. The emptying of this drawer is a daily occurrence. It usually follows by Kase standing on the pans and "surfing"

This is usually what our living room looks like after Kase has been busy! We've tried picking it up at various time throughout the day, but to no avail, it ends up like this 15 minutes after he's up from his nap.

He's a very busy boy! We're loving our new house, new space, and new commute! :)
