Momma's still in charge!

This picture pretty much sums it up for you...lol 
whatever!
The MOMMA is in charge in this situation, dont you fret! ha 
It has been several months now but I think K and I both are just now adjusting to the life change of staying home each week together.
Going from a full time job of 40+ a week to being home with my son has been a life adjustment but I'm happy to report its AWESOME and I feel completely blessed.
The weather has been wild in Arky for the duration so we've spent a looooot of time inside. At this point I can't tell if we stay home because of the weather or because were both just homebodies and prefer it that way...
Either way, its safe to say its contributed to Kellen's love for exploring all nooks and crannys throughout the house and his momma's willingness to just let him!
It would be a complete waste of my time to stress the fact that he leaves a mess in each room he goes into throughout the course of his day. He knows what is off limits, like outlets and the cabinet under the sink.. He will walk by it, stop and point and say 'NO-NO'.
It is cool to watch him play and learn and explore. This age is messy, yes... but completely FUN for both of us!

This is his hiding spot... He recently discovered that it's also a cabinet full of toddler toys!

Right after he was done removing the tin foil from the Reynolds box and replacing it with the kleenex he had in his hand, he decided to 'help' me unload the dishwasher.. He snagged him out a black bowl and took it over to his snacks and put 2 cheddar bunnies in the bowl.. He walked to the living room, sat down in his chair and ate the 2 cheddar bunnies.. He then got up, walked back to his snacks, put 2 more cheddar bunnies in his bowl, went back to his chair , sat down and ate those 2.. The 3rd time he got up and left his bowl in his chair.. but he still walked over to the snacks, got the 2 cheddar bunnies and then walked them back over to his bowl, put them in the bowl, then sat down and ate them out of the bowl... This process went on for a good 15 minutes.. not one cheddar bunny or 3, but TWO every time.
KIDZ are priceless!
The flooding in our area has been devestating to people we know so I wont even attempt to make light of the recent non stop rain.. but since it has rained so much our playing has been confined to indoor. For the first couple of days K would just stand at the door and beg to go outside.. A couple of times he even brought me his shoes or he would set in the floor by the door and be trying to put his own shoes on. (another priceless thing to watch babies do.)
I thought what the hay, if he cant go outside i'll just bring his outside toys in!

He agreed that this was a great idea!

Approaching 15 months old... the vocabulary bank is growing with a quickness.
'Hot' and 'bye' are the words of the month for now...
he points to the dryer, coffee cups,  that are hot and he tells everyone 'BYE'
and waves his little hand sideways, love it.
Still loves bananas and green beans and yogurt.. eats them every day.
I cant help but laugh every time I open my sock drawer and there is a hot wheels in there. The best is when I go to get a plastic bowl out of the kitchen and there is a peice of his waffle bite he has put in the bowl!
Love this baby!
