Mom is now in Hawaii

After oversleeping on Friday (she never does that) she has made it through long travels to hawaii. She was supposed to leave at 4:45 AM and she got up at 4:37. But, mom got ready and made it out the door by 4:50 am. Had a flight to Chicago 2.5 layover. Then a 9.5 hour flight ( no sleep for Mom) to Oahu. Then a layover and half hour flight to Kona and then a hour drive to Kristin's house. What a day! She is just taking it easy today.

And Dad has us and we are doing tons of fun stuff. This morning we went to the park and have friends visiting in the afternoon and tomorrow Dad is taking us to Six Flags for the first time. Daddy is taking lots of pictures for Mom- but not sure if they will get posted till she gets back. Daddy will be busy! Mom is going to have some pictures from her trip. We are so lucky we have such a great fun Dad to take care of us all by himself so Mom can get out . This is defiantly way more then when Daddy goes on a weekend float trip! Mom already has some surprises for us!!

Watch out Amelia

Watch out I have skates

Today Mom took me to the store and I got inline skates. ( and all the safety stuff). Mom let me try them out for the first time int he house. Don't tell Dad- but Mom thought it was safer and it would not hurt the floors since they have never been outside. These skates have 3 levels. 1 is for walking, 2 is for forward only, and 3 is both. Mom started me on 1. Mom did not think I was too bad- the video is my first time. Mom says I can practice more after nap.

See My distractions

See what I have to live with. Oh gosh he has energy.

Amelia the walker

Amelia has been alittle slow to walk. she has been standing holding on to things since 4 months and can climb. We all know she is scared to let go as I am always there to touch her. The last few days she has finally started to take steps and Mom has been able to get some on camera. It is hard as I am running around saying I watch and trying to hug Amelia! She is doing pretty good I think. I am going to help her more while Mom is gone.

Friday

Can you believe it - it is almost time for Mom's trip. Mom is leaving on Friday ( before we get up) to go to Hawaii for 10 days.Yep that is correct. Mom and us could kind of benefit with some time away but 2 days would probably be enough. Mom has never been away before. This is very big for us. Amelia has never been away from Mom for more then a few hours and I have only been left twice for like 36 hours. We have really been quite into Mommy lately. When one gets on Mom's lap the other one tries to push the other one off. When Mom takes us to the gym Amelia cries and I stand at the door saying Mommy. As soon as I realize that Mom left I am ok. As they say at the kids club it is all show. Dad says no wonder they are like this as Mom caters to us all day.

We are going to daycare for a week! Wow we are going to be in shock. Dad will be home on the weekends and nights to be with us. But during the day we are going to our neighbor's house Marcy. She is the greatest and does so well with kids. So it will be Amelia, I , and 3 other kids. I will have fun but be ready to come back.

Mom has already done all the cooking ( and froze it). So Dad won't have to worry to much about dinner each night. And Dad has got some outings planned for us! I am sure by the end of the week Dad will be our favorite.

Just a regular day for Mom

This is what gets from me everyday. You would think at 2.5 I would be growing out of the getting into things. Mom put Amelia down for a nap and she was going to let me stay up a little bit more ( I woke up late). So Mom decided to take a quick shower- normally she does this during nap time or before we get up. she is always sweaty from her morning trip to the gym. Mom came out of the shower and knew I had something since she found me hiding in her bed under the sheets. So turned on the camera to catch this moment to find ( in horror) that I had got the mouth wash and opened it and was starting to drink it. Don't worry I was not harmed. How can a 2 year old figure out the safety cap on mouthwash and how does he get into cabinets that are locked. Yes it is just Baron- no matter how much we child proof I figure them out. I guess tomorrow Mom will wait till nap to try to do anything.
