kid #2

don't think that i've forgotten about my other little dude. he is growing up really fast, too. as a testament to that statement, here's a little tidbit of information that we were surprised to find out yesterday morning (with a repeat today). lately, the husband and i have been waking up earlier to get stuff done without our beautiful kids running around under our feet. his intention is more of a "get to work early so i can get home on time" and mine is "quiet time with Jesus", and/or "check stuff out on the computer"

as i was looking at my Email yesterday, this handsome (seen above) ran into our room and basically fell over to avoid running smack into a wall- to which he said "uh, oh!" i gave my husband a look like "what just happened here?" and "did i miss it and you went to go get him?" anyway- apparently #2 is getting efficient at opening doors.

last night, in order to protect our kid from falling down the stairs† we put up a gate and this morning i heard it crash down as the kid walked out of his room. our gates are not 100% awesome, as you can tell, reader, but it served it's purpose! i knew he was out and about. i leave my hearing aids out of my ears some mornings to let them *breathe* sort of silly, but i truly relish the fact that i'm in my own world sometimes!

tonight we'll have to put the gate up a wee bit better than last night, though. and maybe sneak in a couple toys to tide him over till it is time to *get up!*

† the kid fell down the stairs last night. what.in.the.world. eugh. 2 for 2 now (kid #1 and #2, that is!)
