It's been so nice to be off work ... soaking in many summer days with Kyle and Kyle's fan club. Whenever my mom, dad, aunt, grandma, brother, cousins, friends, etc. are also off work, they often drop in to play with Kyle and see how much he's grown since their last drop in. On Tuesday Grandma P was here to drop off some souvenirs she and Grandpa picked up for Kyle on their weekend visit to Branson, Missouri. "Kyle" seemed to be on their minds, as most everything they picked up had Kyle's name on. Kyle sippy cups, Kyle big-boy cups, Kyle stickers, a Kyle sign, etc. We've now cleared out some space in one of our kitchen cabinets to hold all of Kyle's cute and colorful baby cookware. They also scored a pretty neat, colorful light-up, vibrating stick. Kyle seems to be mesmerized by it! His eyes follow the bright lights back and forth. On Wednesday, a whole crew of visitors stopped by around lunch time. Robo brought delicious Wendy's salads (I'm now obsessed with the Berry Almond Chicken Salad. It's super yummy and only 12 points on WW. Not too shabby for fast food) and GG (Kyle's Great Grandma). Cousin Christina dropped by as well. Kyle was so glad to meet her as she's about to pack her bags for South Carolina for the next year plus as she works toward a Master's in Human Resources at the University of South Carolina. Good luck Christina! Grandpa P crashed our ladies luncheon, but for a good cause. He had a few minutes to spare before he needed to get back to work and wanted to spend every second of them holding the Ky Ky Man. On Thursday, my great friends Liz and Amy stopped by to see Kyle and to take Kyle's Mom out to dinner at Panera. I love all these mini-girl outings I've been able to have lately thanks to the magic of the bottle! Daddy gave Kyle his third bottle before bed while Mommy enjoyed her Strawberry Poppyseed Salad. Although he was a perfect little angel for company, Kyle kept Chris and I up for a good portion of the night on Wednesday, just after we had bragged how wonderful it is that he's been sleeping about 7 hours straight! Morton Grove was really hit by that thunderstorm Wednesday night, and we wondered if maybe the loud noises through off his schedule. Since we were going on very little sleep and Chris woke up exhausted, he decided to take a sick day. The best thing about this was that since he was home, I was able to sneak off to the gym for a bit! I ran on the track for the first time since starting my third trimester of pregnancy. I wasn't very fast at all, but I made it through 2 miles! It was tough, but it felt great to get back into it! There is an Illini run in September that I hope to be a part of, so I better start getting in shape now! There's no time like the present. Check out some pics from the week ...
