Worst Blogging Mom Award

Yes, I am giving it to myself. I have Amelia's 1 year stats at home (height, weight, head circumference) and here it is, a month later, and I haven't posted them. Blech. I stink.

But I'll cut myself some slack. Kieran was having a good summer until a few weeks ago when his temper showed up (I guess it took a few weeks to find his camp). We're working on it (again) and it is easier to get him to talk once he's calmed down. So, there's that.

Amelia's been sick (she's better now) and that threw us for a loop. A fortunate side effect seems to be better sleep, however. We'll see if she can keep this up.

She's not walking yet (though she cruises along the furniture with ease), but she is definitely communicating a lot more. This morning I asked her if she was ready to go downstairs and she nodded and said "ya". Pretty exciting. Now that I'm done feeding her from my body (WOO HOO. Oh, wait am I supposed to be unhappy about that?), I can spend a bit more time with Kieran which is nice.

In a few weeks we'll be taking our vacation, which is really a stay-cation. We'll be doing some small things in the area (like maybe finally go to the dairy farm that I tried to do last year while on maternity leave) and then heading to the beach for a few days. Really looking forward to it. I need some rest and relaxation.

Kieran and Ken are ready for a new dog (I am not, but am being dragged along the journey anyway). On the upside it's given me and Ken the impetus we've needed to get the house in shape.

Other than that nothing else new. Gotta go and I promise to be a better mom blogger... next month.
