Since in Utah life has been entertaining...

Kent has grown leaps and bounds. Ammon has mercilessly been trying to get Kent to crawl, baiting him with Gerber Puffs. What Ammon calls crawling I would more call throwing a tantrum that results in small movements of the body in a forward direction. Needless to say he does make it across the room at least once a night through the tears. Kent loves to be where ever Mom is, whether it is doing the dishes or doing my hair and makeup. I try to do these things during his morning nap, but sometimes when that nap is cut short he ends up "helping". Here is what I mean...

He feels the need to put everything that is on the counter in the sink, which is why some of the stuff is out of his reach. Here he is chewing on a CLEAN Q-tip, prior to this picture he was "singing" to the boy in the mirror.

The other night as I was doing dishes I put him on the window sill to watch me do dishes. His feet could barely touch the water. But then he realized he could move, and into the sink he went. I had his pants off so they wouldn't get wet, but had no idea the shirt needed to come off and that I needed to put on a swim diaper.

Don't worry, I did not wash anymore dishes in this water after he entered...

...partly because of germs and partly because Huggies really are absorbent and I barely had any water left.

I have struggled a bit with this whole being home all day thing, and commend the efforts of the moms that can do it, however, I find myself needing to get out of the house once a day. Typically this is to go shopping, much to our budget's dismay, but I have also found a walk and playing with Kent in the sand table to be refreshing. On Tuesdays we even get to go to a place called My Gym for mommy and me gym classes, which I love because there are other mommies there for me to talk to. Now for your continued viewing pleasure, a few more pics...

Taking pictures of Kent is what I resorted to while taking Ammon's grandpa house shopping. He recently broke his hip so he moved rather slow. It took us three hours to tour 3 houses. Kent was really good considering.

The sand table the adorable 3 year old upstairs is so nice to share with Kent.

Tired after a night of crawling.

And lastly, my best friend ran the Ogden Marathon last weekend and we went to watch her cross the finish line. I did not actually end up seeing her cross because I had bent down to meet Kent's needs, but I did see her about 10 feet past the finish line. Regardless, she did great! Way to go Cole!
