Big Changes

Things have been pretty crazy around here the past month or so. We have

lots of exciting things going on. Starting with moving. We are pro's at this by now

and we have done it once again. We moved to a new house and Kase is loving it.

I know I have sent the new address to a few people, but if you need it let me know.

The other big and exciting thing going on in our family is that Tyler quit

his job at HealthSource and is opening his own Chiropractic clinic. We could not be more excited and thrilled at this opportunity. Right now he and his business partner are busy

buying eqiupment, picking out design schemes and setting up utilities. They already

have the space and started construction last week. It's going to be a really

nice clinic and Tyler is super excited to be able to run his own clinic. Stay tuned

for more details. We just got cable and internet set up yesterday at our new

house, so I can keep up now a little better. I will update soon as things progress

on the new clinic. I believe they are looking to open in June.

P.S. I think I am going to open my facebook back up to keep up with

family. I feel very out of the loop. But will still continue to post the important

stuff on this blog. Ok hope everyone is doing well.



18 Months

Well our little man just turned 18 months last week and I can't believe how time has flown.

He is definitely not a baby anymore. He had his check up and is still coming in around the 85th percentile for height. Every time someone asks how old he is, they assume he's 2 or 3.

He continues to blow me away with how smart he is. He is doing really well with potty training, going a couple times a day on his big boy potty seat. He's also starting to recognize a few shapes and letters. I freaked out one day while reading to him and he pointed to a shape and said, "oval!" I couldn't believe it. He also says some random fun words like turtle, elbow, moon, ball, kitten. Of course my favorite is him yelling, "Momma!" across the house. He's still going to the Little Gym once a week and having a blast with that. He's about to move up to the big boy class in a couple weeks and I think that will be great for him, a little more of a challenge.  He's on a really great schedule right now that makes my day much easier. He's sleeping really good and eating well also. He loves to sing and dance. We blast the radio at home and he starts boppin' his head and yes, we taught him to fist pump, lol. It is a wonderful feeling as a mom, to watch my son grow and learn everyday. He is happy and healthy and that is all I could ever ask for. Here are some pictures from the last few months....

 In February we took him to see Elmo Live. We were worried he might

get scared, but we were in the 4th row and he loved it.

                                                 Eating cotton candy with Dad.

                                                             During intermission.

                                                         Had his Elmo gear ready.

                                     This is what happens when dad puts your pj's on.

 Valentine's Day. He got a whole bag of goodies then helped himself to a couple cupcakes.

    Whenever it's quiet, I can count on him being in the dog kennel. He thinks it's so funny.

                                                    Loves wearing big people shoes.

Went to Galveston beach last week. Had so much fun. Water was too cold

at first, but then he warmed up to it. Our friend Parker came too!

Chomp is on bed rest

Our poor baby girl Chompers is on bedrest for TWO weeks.  A few days

ago she hurt her back and now has to be on anti-inflammatory pills and pain meds

for 2 weeks as well. I feel so bad for her. She is so sweet and looks so sad. But I 

am hopeful for a full recovery. Mommy will take good care of her!

Daddy's little warrior

Tyler went paint balling last weekend and Kase was fascinated

by Ty's gear. Ty even let him shoot a couple shots. That's what is above his head

on the fence. I've never seen a little boy so happy with a gun. It's a little

frightening for a mom to see. But I do love this pic. He looks so serious, like he's

looking around for the enemy. Boy we are in trouble with this one!

No more facebook

So I'm going to be closing my facebook account soon. With all that free time, I will be able to update this blog much more often. I will use this as the primary way to connect with friends and family. I will still post pictures and updates on all things Kase and the Slagowski family. Follow me or enter your email address at the top and it will notify you every time I post something. You can also leave comments or email me. I look forward to a break from the fb and being able to share more mommy stories in depth on here.

Some thoughts

Just wanted to share a few thoughts.

 Last month Kase came down with the flu. It was one of the most challenging weeks
I have ever had as a mother. Watching your little one go through the flu is hard on the eyes and
heart. As everything was going on, I was finding it a little hard to cope. It's a very stressful situation when your child is that sick and miserable and you can't do anything to make him better. He needs constant attention. You're tired, he's tired, your husband is tired. It was pretty rough around here. But thankfully we made it out on the other side just fine.

After that grueling week, I was thinking to myself, imagine having to go through all of that with TWO kids. Tyler and I have toyed around with the idea of having another baby sometime this year. But after that week, I'm glad its not now. I just wanted to give a shout out to
all the moms I know that have a handful of babies and kids. You guys are amazing and nobody works harder than moms. Sometimes I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water raising one. And the idea of having another is a little frightening, but you guys are inspiration that it can be done.

 

The Houston Zoo

Kase loves animals. But his favorite animals are lions, elephants and giraffes. So when we went to the zoo recently, you can imagine he had a blast.
