Took's Tales: Hot, hot, hot!

I am pretty sure everyone in Texas would agree that hot, hot, hot is the best way to describe things right now! Man the heat stinks. You know what though? It makes me giddy that I’m not pregnant this summer! Hahaha! Oh how I remember the heat last summer. It did seem a lot worse last year!

I am so jealous of this picture below. Will never cuddles with us anymore. It is heart breaking, really. The other night Will was just sitting on Kevin’s lap and Kevin was playing all kinds of music videos online. I guess Will was enjoying it because he happily sat there for the longest time. Eventually Kevin said his head got heavier and then he picked him and the boy was out. I stole him shortly there after because I wanted a good snuggle, but it was really daddy’s doing. On a random side note – here’s what I’ve been up to the last few weeks – boot camp. It is an excercise group that meets in our neighborhood. If I had any doubt that I was out of shape, it was very much confirmed on the very first day. The first day we did pretty much everything in an attempt to benchmark where we were. It was literally embarrassing. Pushups – people were like 40, 45…and I was like 21. Oh geez. Then we ended the lovely session with a run. It wasn’t really that far of a run but it was downhill the first half and straight up hill the 2nd. You might think I’m exaggerating, but this hill is very steep. I clearly couldn’t run it. I thought I was either going to die or yak. It was pathetic. The next day – I couldn’t walk. It was sad really. Every muscle in my body was tight and incredibly sore. Well, I have finished my 2nd week and I am still alive. But I am so bummed that I am so out of shape. Today was more running – that stupid hill again. I did it the first 3 times but when she wanted us to do a 4th – I was out. It wasn’t happening. One day I’ll run all the way up that thing. Maybe.

Enough of my complaining about my out-of-shapeness. We did have our lovely friends in our community group over Sat night which was a lot of fun. We did kabobs. We were proud of them and took a pic. They are very time consuming to assemble! I didn’t get any pics of our friends, but here is some of what we ate! Now to this little boy! He looks so sweet, doesn’t he? ha! He’s not! Just kidding. He is sweet as ever but he is a handful these days. He is full of energy and is constantly on the go. He continues to be fairly clingy and wants to be held a lot. I don’t mind that at all. However, what I do mind is fighting him to put on a diaper or clothes every.single.time. Why is it so torturous? I really don’t understand. I am starting to master putting on a diaper while he stands. It is awesome! :) But he is so fun, too. It is an interesting combo. His sweet smile and his laughter just make your heart explode with joy. I love him so stinkin’ much. I just kind of wish he would lay there for 2 min while I dress him for the day! So Will finally has mastered holding his bottle! It was never really an issue of physically holding the bottle. That he could do. But he would never hold it while he drank. Now he does. So now we’re working on the sippy cup! He’s not a huge fan. I am not sure if it is because it has water in it or what, but he hasn’t really taken to it, yet. He’ll get there. We’re also really trying to work on finger foods. Some days he’s just not into anything other than a puff. This picture is just for fun. What a cutie!
