Kingston Update

Mylene's 2nd birthday party

I'm seriously sluffing on posting.  I have some Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures I'll post as soon as my netbook returns to me in a few weeks.  But since I'm updating you, let me just say how super excited I am for my little boy to turn ONE years-old.  It is crazy how fast a whole year has gone.  Kingston has made major advances, since I last updated.  He's taking steps not fully walking about at least he's got his balance.  We are going to his ONE year check on next week so I'll share everything the doctor tells me about his progress.  I'm goin to post a few videos for the steps and his favorite new thing to do, clapping his hands.

Its a Boy's World at my House

My world is blue, but in a good way. I'm happy to announce that Kingston will be a big brother to his future best friend, Zatique (? not positive on the name yet?), his baby brother. I'm feeling a bit sad that I'm already moving some of Kingston stuff to another room so his room can go to his brother. There's a custom changing table in the room and Zatique will be using Kingston's crib. Once the baby is born Kingston will have a toddler bed all ready for him in the "green room". I have a lot of nesting to do. There's so much of my personal crap to get rid off or at least move downstairs. I hate to do it because our downstairs really needs to be remodeled or at least upgraded. I have a doctors appointment today and I think they have some bad news from my blood test because I got a call from the nurse the day before my "reminder" call from the reception about my appointment. No sense in worrying or being negative, I'll just post the results when they tell me tomorrow.

First Halloween

Kingston was a lion for his first Halloween

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again, time first by so fast. This was Kingston's first Halloween. Mama put him in a lion costume. I almost cried because I was scared he wouldn't fit it. I had bought it a month early and when he tried it on at the store it fit him with even a little room, but a month later it was high water. I couldn't believe how much he grew in a month.

Can you see it? High waters?!?

We had a very lazy day. We hung out at home all day until late afternoon, then we were off to grandma and grandpa's house for an early dinner. The boys attempted to trick-or-treat but none of the neighbors had their lights on. No trick!!! I honestly did not want to take him in a public place, due to the swine flu situation. Kingston and I at the time still haven't had our H1N1 shots. Maybe next year with his new little sibling. I have more photos posted on my facebook page.

Too Cute!!! I know Red was not happy being a hotdog...haha...

Kingston will be a BIG BROTHER!!!

Yes, already!!! We planned it and we are excited. Kingston and baby#2 will be 16 months apart. I know two little ones in diapers. We are not crazy we, more like me, just wanted to "get it over with". Baby #2 will probably be our last one. The morning sickness alone was enough for me to call it quits. But if I don't get my girl I might try for baby #3, maybe, a BIG MAYBE!!! Mama is doing well, besides the normal morning sickness. The only other issue is I have gestational diabetes. I have been doing well with portioning and NOT eating sugars, so I pray the baby will be healthy. I haven't had an ultrasound so I have no pictures and no idea of size, I haven't even heard the heartbeat. I will post pictures and news next week when I see Dr.Martin.

As far as Kingston, he is doing well. He can now crawl on this knees and lift himself up with assistance, like his crib, the couch, mama when she's sleeping, etc. He is growing up so fast. Only a 3 more months until his first birthday. I have yet to plan his birthday. I do have a goal of finding a venue by the end of this month so I can at least make invites. I still need ideas for food, entertainment, and everything else. I'll post pictures when I get my netbook back from Dell.

Updates

Its been a while since my updates on Kingston, who will be 8 months in a few weeks. The middle of our summer was pretty uneventful since I'm back at work. We are ending the summer season with a trip on the coast for 7 days. It will be nice to get away. Kingston has been a wonderful little boy. He's most definitely a morning baby and fights us when its bed time but he gets his full 8 hours. He's discover his body movements. Kingston reaches for everything, rolls around and finally crawling, not long distances but enough to label it crawling. He's discovering his voice. He says "DADADADADA" and laughs at everything. I'm so happy I'm able to work part time, I don't miss much of his adventures.

In other updates:
Grandma Debbie is in remission. She and Grandpa Rick are in Paris enjoying their wedding anniversary. I'm so happy Kingston will have many more years with his wonderful and very kind grandma.
Grandma Cynthia is on dialysis. I haven't heard much as far as where she would get a kidney, I'm hoping one of her siblings will offer and soon. It pains me that I'm not there to know every single detail or to just see or hold her. As far as Grandpa Romeo, he's just being a farmer, working in his banana and rice fields.
Uncle Gilbert is doing his time. He will be out next year sometime. I really hope he's learned his lessons and recover. My heart sunk when the judge reminded him that he's got 2 strikes and one more and LIFE in prison will be the only option next time.

Well I'm hoping this end of the summer trip will relax me, since I've been such a crabby bitch. I start school end of September so I really need this getaway.

Grandma is Sick

I can't believe my mom is sick now too. She's probably going to needs a kidney transplant. She was born with only one and now its starting to fail her. I've been so overwhelmed this year. Its so bittersweet. First my mother in-law with the ovarian cancer then me being a first time mom and now my mom with kidney complications. The grandmothers are fighters and I know theyll pull through. My mom is in the PI right now I just want her to be here already. I'm sad that I can't hold her and have Kingston be held by her. I'm praying God will get me through but especially them. My dad will be coming also, I've missed him so much. It will be 2 years since I've seen him, he hasn't even held Kingston yet. I'll keep you posted on the progress of everyone.

First RV Trip

Our View

Thanks to some of our wedding money we got the RV trailer. It was the best $4,000, we've ever spent. We used it to go to our 2 week honeymoon along the west coast. It was the best time I've ever had, well now the second. Kingston will last more then 2 weeks but we don't mind (hehe). Ned and I decided to go to Moses Lake to see a carshow in June, but we made it a weekend trip. Kingston was great. But then again we have air condition, so we was quite comfy.

Not much too do after you walk around and seen all the cars.
