It has been 2 days since we got home. Kadin was at first weary of Hasan at the airport...seems his abu decided to grow a beard while we were gone. I would also like to add that the same abu was late to the airport. I hate city traffic....
Our trip was amazing. Three weeks went by fast - even faster considering Kadin was sick for about 6 of those days and it rained for about 3 days straight. We all sorta felt like there were things we didnt get done but hey we are still working with a baby's schedule.
Everyone was amazed with Kadin and all the smart little things he picked up. For example although I had been showing him for some time he decided to save the actions to Pat-A-Cake for nanny and poppy. He pats, he rolls and he has a good time. He also likes to do some of the actions to All-Around-The-Garden, Kadin knows the way to open a door and depending on the height of the door knob he is very good at it.
He says "Dat?" when pointing at any object.
He repeats "Doh tuh..." and giggles like a hellion when told "Don't touch" something.
Kadin has learned to climb stairs with some small amount of assistance which he VERY begrudgingly takes and knows to turn over on his belly to get down from high places.
He adores making motor sounds to anything he thinks should move like a quad which by the way he fell asleep on going home from his Gauntie Wanda's and Guncle Perry's cabin.
Kadin likes to call his poppy Ya-Ya and he called his nanny "nan"about 3 days after we got there.
Kadin had Mary Brown's for the first time. Kadin went on a boat for the first time. Kadin rode a wheel barrow for the first time. He went to his first birthday party. He went to Jungle Jim's for dinner and insisted on taking his shirt off...for the entire meal.
Kadin let mommy go out with friends and with nanny and have an awesome time.
Kadin got a severe diaper rash which would bleed. He got a fever of 104 degrees. He was prescribed penicilian for swollen glands because he had the flu. Kadin got the measles and we realized his 3 day fever with "swollen glands" were all a part of that and we stopped the penicilian. Kadin busted his lip open playing with some stupid wooden doll in my parents house. Kadin sat on a very hot heater and burnt the backs of his legs. He also touched a wood stove and burnt his hand. And finally he ran into a wall at the hotel our last night and gave himself a huge bump on the head.
I hate the really hard cry. The one where we makes the first bawl and then there is a silent scream building up for way too long where you think he can't be breathing and he will certainly die from crying. And finally when the scream comes it is the loudest thing you have heard since the Blink 182 concert of 2002. hehe
Have I crammed in too much?
I have MANY pics and will put them up as soon as I'm done recovering. Sooo tired. Kadin got up at 4:30 am yesterday and 4:45 am this morning. Seems I'm on the same schedule.
Since getting home Kadin now blows on his food he thinks to be too hot.
Soooooo much learning. OH did I mentioned he likes to sit with a book and read by himself???? He takes his little book and quietly turns the pages while making "Bah bah bah....bahbah bah..." sounds. Amazing.
If I missed anything I'll add as days go by.
Finally our little Grady has a new home. He was adopted yesterday by a great family and today we are gonna go see his new digs. We are very sad about this but know he will be happier with them. They loved him right away and he seemed at ease with the whole thing. Now we are a family of four and our hearts hurt.
