It's official, the boy walks. He's been playing with the idea for at least a month now but as of the last couple days he is really walking around. He wants to wear his shoes/slippers, and he will walk alone to explore but often prefers to hold a hand and show us the way. I'm loving it (even though I know chasing him down is not far away).
Precious moment of the day (maybe the whole month): As we were walking through the mall today, one hand in daddy's hand and the other in mine, Kole stops and lets go. He needed to dance! He got a lil jiggy, then grabbed our hands again, an we continued on our way. &hearts LOVE

I'm ready for bed (full day recap)
Today was long. Kole woke up early cuz he went to bed super early the night before. Then we had to all get going early to pick up our Nanang. It's been a while since we had her here and she is leaving next week for a month. We stopped by Safeway and AT&T then headed home to make sure Kole got his nap. He eventually napped and Nanang joined him after a we all ate. I was excited to catch a nap for myself when I all of a sudden realized it was just about 2:30 - the time when we were supposed to be at the doctor for a 15-month well visit. Aaah! Called and got it bumped to 2:45 but had to wake the baby and run out the door still.
He was not happy. And then he was real mad at me and the car seat. And he was beyond pissed when he had to lie down to be examined. Then he screamed nonstop when he was getting his 3 booster shots. I nursed him for comfort and a quick meal since he hadn't eaten since we interrupted his nap. Finally, to top it all off, he needed a blood draw. Not one arm, but both arms were punctured since he was slightly dehydrated and they couldn't get a vein, at which time he proceeded to puke on both the lab ladies, daddy, the chair, the floor, and himself. My poor baby bear. We were all emotionally exhausted after that one.
Of course, he also fights me and the car seat on our short trip home. This was to be the last driving with him for the day. We did walk to the beach though, which always cheers him up. He had lots of fun with his new sand toys and even met a lil friend. The baby and his mom didn't speak English but I guess that's the beauty of watching babies interact; they don't speak much of any language but they communicate plenty.
We stopped at a farmer's market on the way home from the beach, then J brought Nanang home. I nursed a fussy Kole and he soon after fell asleep in my arms. Thought it would be a quick one so I held him rather than put him down.....an hour and a half later I set him down. He didn't even wake up when I started chopping and cooking in the kitchen.
Basically he woke up for a little bit and we tried to feed him and failed then we put him to bed - twice (he woke up after 5 minutes the first time).
Watched some classy reality tv and ate some awesome arrozcaldo (with calamansi from Nanang) and mango for dessert. Yup, I'm so ready for bed.
