Dangerous Wonder

I apologize for not posting more. I religiously check others blogs to see if they've updated, but haven't been so good about updating mine. My excuse is that there doesn't seem much to blog about. Ofcourse when I really sit and think about it life with a toddler is always full of events. Aug 8-12 we(Dean and I) spent time in Greeley with my family, especially my Grandma and Grandpa. It was nice to see everyone and have them see Dean. He took a little while to warm up, but after a few days seemed right at home. It was rather exhausting for me though to be a "single parent". It definitely made me appreciate Kyle more. Dean is so much more active these days and with my expanding belly I just can't keep up. He isn't walking quite yet, but walks as he holds onto anything including walls. He is letting us "walk" him too now! It shouldn't be too much longer. :) Dean is also developing quite a stubborn streak. He has a definite opinion about most things and isn't afraid to vocalize that. I am still working with him on using sign language. He likes to watch his Signing Time video, but still isn't using the signs. He does use some form of the words, so I guess thats something. Kyle and I are convinced that he understands far more then he lets on or is able to communicate. He keeps me on my knees praying for wisdom and patience! :)

This past weekend I went "garage saleing" to find a dresser for Abi. I ended up just perusing the ARC and found a nice six drawer dresser that just needed some paint for $10! I love the ARC. Kyle painted it white and we are replacing the handles with some basic white ones. It should turn out great. It's nice to see Abi's room coming together.

Another new thing in my life is a very part time job I've taken on as a Mystery Shopper. I signed up with a couple of companies online and have an assignment coming up. I love the flexibility to choose when and where I take assignments and the relative ease to complete them. You don't make a lot of money, but it's nice to have a little spending money now and then. Besides it gives me something outside the home to focus on. Kyle likes the advantage of some "free" dates!

I'll update more after my 32 wk appt this week. I anticipate all good news as I've been feeling pretty good and having no trouble with swelling. Abi seems smaller then Dean, though at this stage even a "smaller" baby can feel big!
