This is my first time trying to blog so bear with me I ramble and if my little man wakes up from his nap it will be a very short first blog! My son Eli is just a month shy of 2 years old he still takes two naps because his energy is off the charts when he is awake. His personality will engulf you he rarely frowns and is seldom discontented so all in all I think we got lucky. He does try and flex his toddler muscles with eating battles, and of course the word "NO!" but show me a toddler who does not push the limits every once and a while :). Our family has been trying to get out and about every weekend, to parks, on hikes, walks etc. now that I am 6 months along in the pregnancy with our second son I feel huge and exercise helps me to think I am doing something to prevent whale like hugeness that I am sure is headed my way :) I love being pregnant and feel blessed to even have this chance a second time around but I like to think that every pregnant woman goes through self esteem issues and insecurities at some point. I spent the greater part of last night and this morning fighting with the cable company wondering who in the world structured it so customers do not have a choice of providers for things like cable and internet in some areas, we have Comcast and that is the only option being in an apartment we can't have satellite TV and Cox and Verizon are not allowed to service our area it seems silly given if I were with another carrier I could be paying almost 1/2 of what these knuckleheads are charging me :( So while Eli was smashing cars on our coffee table I tried my best to get these guys to give us a deal or promotion or whatever with no success. So we are trying to figure if it is even worth keeping at this point. Anyway that is my drama for the day, we are hoping for  a playdate this afternoon if not we will most likely hit up the playground down the road for some good old fashioned outdoor play :)
