The month of December has been a crazy busy month. The first 2 weekends we were in KC (KA Christmas Party & Madeline's Christening) and last weekend we went to Chicago for Erica's boyfriends 40th birthday! During that I had 2 work trips (Lawrence and Dallas). Mikael has been an amazing support during my unexpectedly busy travel schedule this month. And I feel like I got a real taste of what it's like to be a working/traveling mom. I missed my boys and Lily a ton. Mason is still doing great at school and his teachers love him. They all think he is the world traveler (which is kinda true). He has been great during all of our road trips in December.
We actually went up to Chicago early Thursday morning, since Mikael had to work in Lemont (suburb outside Chicago) on Thursday. We spent Thursday night downtown and then Friday & Saturday stayed at the Majestic, which is near Erica and Joes new place. We had a great time seeing Allie Winters and her fiancé Jim. They watched Mason for us on Saturday night so we could go to Joe's 40th birthday party. Erica did a great job planning the weekend and the party! It just makes us wish they lived closer! Their new place is beautiful and we can't wait to visit again soon! Also, on Saturday we went out to brunch with Jamie Hagedorn and Colby which was delicious. Unfortunately Mason kind of had a cold that started on Thursday when we got to Chicago. We went to his doctor on Monday and they started him on breathing treatments due to having RSV (bronchioatis). We really are so lucky to have the best baby ever. Even though he isn't feeling well he still smiles and tries to play. This week has been a little challenging because we don't want to send him to school, so we have been rotating working from home and my mom has been a huge help too!!
This afternoon Mason decided to let me in on a little secret.... He can crawl!!!!! I have upload a video to prove it! It's the cutest thing! Also, Mikael and I have realized we are in trouble.... Mason has not been a fan of the breathing treatments that we have to do 3x a day, or the nose saline drops, or the suction nose bulb. However, if we put baby Einstein on the iPad while doing those things he could care less about the treatments, drops, etc. what a little rock star!!!! So clearly if at 5.5 months he loves the IPad , I can only Imagine what he will like in a few years.
Videos and pics coming shortly....
I CANT BELIEVE THE VIDEO he is SOOOO cute and I cannot wait to come and snuggle with him this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He needs to stop growing so fast!!!
