Sweet Slobbery Kisses

One of the reasons I started this little blog is to document some of the cute day to day things my munchkin does that I want to remember. Unfortunately, I never thought I would be as busy as I am and not have time to update the random acts of cuteness on a more frequent basis.

Sheesh! Since my last post alone, SO much has happened (went to the fair, lost my phone, had a crappy week of clinicals, etc, etc). So many moments of cuteness, and some I don't even get to be around for :(  I didn't think I would have such a hard time going back to school this year. Last year, when I started first semester, the munchkin was only six weeks old, and it was hard being away from him. I never thought it would be harder this year. Except it is. It's so much harder. He's so much more aware now, so much more fun interacting with, and while I love coming home and seeing that smiling little face stumbling toddling running towards me, I miss him so much when I'm gone.

Ok, enough wallowing in my own mommy misery. There was a really cute moment the other night I wanted to make sure I remember. It was bedtime. Bath was finished, lotion slathered, book(s) read, blankies found (he has two he likes to sleep with and bring upstairs with him), nuk inserted (thankfully he only "needs" it at bedtime). I told Kaleb to go give daddy a kiss goodnight. He turned, and walked over towards his daddy with his mouth wide open. That's how he gives kisses still--sloppy, mouth-wide-open kisses. He got about a foot away and fell into Martin's arms. I love it. It was just a priceless moment for me. My baby walking towards his daddy, arms held high, mouth wide open waiting for his kiss. No hesitation, no wondering if daddy might not be there to catch him. Just pure love and trust. Makes me think we're doing an ok job so far :)

And now, some cuteness to share. We went to the fair on Sunday and had an (overall) good time. I lost my cell phone, which sucks, but other than that... Anyway. We stopped to get some roasted corn on the cob. First of all, the munchkin loves (LOVES!) corn on the cob. Here's some proof:

So we shared part of our corn at the fair with the munchkin. This is the end result:

Sorry for the quality, or lack of. That's from my phone, thankfully I decided to send this pic to a friend, or it would've been lost forever.

And finally, if you'd like a sweet baby kiss, all you've got to do is ask. This is what you'll get:

That's all for me for now. Off to study for our first test that's on Monday. I'm so far behind, this isn't going to be pretty....
