Sniffles
Hello, pretty people-
I have either been too sick or busy to post...Which one is it? BOTH.
The cold that refuses to die has come back to haunt me again. I called out of work yesterday because I was feeling too crappy.
Father's Day was nice. I got up, made JOn breakfast, and we laid around. We went to go a see a matinee movie ("Don't mess with the Zohan"), which was both funny and stupid.....many ongoing gags involving Hummus. I love walking in with a baby and having other movie goers inwardly groan, only to have Kyan not make a peep the entire movie! We've seen three movies with him this way---He usually just falls asleep. And no, we don't see anything raunchy or violent if he is with us.....Then we went out to dinner with Jon's parents to a nice restaurant in Sunderland called "The Blue Heron", which was also quite nice. I got Jon a t-shirt that says "Jacobsen 1.0", and a romper for Kyan that says "Jacobsen 2.0".
I gave Kyan a haircut yesterday (all on my own!)...It's very hard to cut the hair of a moving target. It's not perfect, but Kyan's hair grows so fast, I can't be spending $10-$15 every time he needs a haircut (which is often-Wolfman, here we come!)
We also just got a new bed delivered today....We purchased the Budget version of a Tempur-Pedic...it's The BOBo-pedic! Can't wait to try it out tonight!
And since I know your just here for the pics of Mr. Uber-Adorable, here ya go:
Thoughtful Kyan:
Happy Kyan:
Kyan wishes you Namaste:
I have TOYS!
What are you looking at?
No photographs, please-This is a restricted area:

Pics of the TOOTH-You can just see it coming up now, even though I have been able to feel it for over a week:

Pour me another....
I apologize for the lack of posting...work has been busy, and I am tired.
Not much goign on.....Jon has been workign tireless inthe garden, watering daily and clearing away weeds while I watch.
Kyan FINALLLY FINALLY had his tooth break through...all those times in the past where I thought I felt the tooth break through..I was wrong. There is a sharp little razor ridge in his bottom gum now, and I have NO doubt that it's the real thing. And I think his right bottom tooth is not far behind.
Kyan new favorite activities: Pulling ALL the books off of his bookshelf......he'll look at me, clap, and smile, and then commence with destruction of the bookshelf. His other favorite activity is closing and opening doors......Except, once he closes a door all the way, he can't open it again (being 2 1/2 feet tall, he can't reach the doorknob). Then he cries, but it's hard for ME to open the door since he's parked himself right in front of it.
Jon finally got a phone through work on Tuesday. It's a fancy one that you can check Internet and email on and all that fun stuff. Then last night, he accidentally dropped it in the dog's water bowl. The man is a walking accident. Fortuneatly for him, the Bindery has hazard insurance for all the phones......They will get their money's worth just with Jon.

Chopsticks, anyone?
I have sold Scooter to the Chinese Food restaurant down the street.
Okay, so I haven't sold him YET, but I fully intend to. That damn dog had my up THREE times last night to go to the bathroom.....My ten month old wasn't up ONCE. Apparently I'll have to start diapering the dog.
So this morning, after DRAGGING myself out of bed when I heard the baby stirring, I took Scooter donwstairs and threw him outside, mostly for his own protection. Cause if I had looked at him for one more second he'd currently be a dog skin rug in my hallway.
I gave the baby his bottle and prepared to get in the shower (Jon comes home today from Germany, and although nothing says "I love you and welcome home" like the scent of baby pee and masticated Cheerios stuck in your hair, I needed the hot water to wake me up). The entire time Scooter was barking his head off. I silently vowed to buy a muzzle. The phone rang while I was in the shower...ah, pandemonium.
Once I was showered and had the baby downstairs, I checked the message. It was one of my neighbors alerting me to the fact that there was a mother raccoon and SIX baby raccoons in the tree on the edge of my property and that they could be rabid....AWESOME....and I thought today would be boring.
I ushered Scooter inside and looked at the tree in the corner of the yard.......14 beady little eyes were staring back at me. Now, reader, please don't get me wrong-I love animals-Just not potentially rabid ones.
Eventually, the racoons climbed out of my tree and made their way across the street. Three of the older ladies who live on my street are stalking the raccoons to see where they go next. Apparently, these raccoons live under the shed of another house down the street, along with 2 skunks and like, 8 feral cats. The homeowners are FEEDING them because they are "cute".
So I called West Springfield Health Services, who told me I should only let Scooter out when I can keep a close eye on him........Yeah..not so helpful.......I got a fenced in yard for a reason.
So, I am sicking my mother-in-law on their asses. She will call them and yell at them and write letters to our local newspaper. The way she sees it, Kyan might as well already have rabies because of those roaming raccoons, and she WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.
So take THAT, Health Department.

And.....We're back!
Vacation Post, Part 1:
It's okay...don't cry...I'm back......Flattered that you missed me so much, though :-)
Vacation was wonderful...blissful...time with my family...timae away from work......if only every day could be like that....Now, it is back to the grind....Jon is Germany on a business trip, and I am at home, working, taking care of Kyan and Scooter, and holding down the fort...all alone.....Please pity me and send me red wine.
With the exception of the rotten cold I came down with the day before we left that is STILL lingering, I cannot really complain.
I was SO excited for Kyan to experience the ocean....he was somewhat less enthused...He LOVES wster and baths, but the ocean was just too cold for him, I think.....We would set the hot tub on the lowest setting and play with him in there, and he had a BALL.
Jon and I even managed dinner out one night, since everyone else would stay at the house and watch the baby......then we went to see the new "Indiana Jones"....Um, not impressed......
Anyway, here are some pics from the vacation:
Kyan on the rocking horse at my parents house:

It's okay...don't cry...I'm back......Flattered that you missed me so much, though :-)
