Well, we have moved on from "shelter in place" to "Safer at Home" here in Alabama. However, besides Max and Parker heading out to get their first haircuts since February, and a socially distanced picnic lunch at The Botanical Gardens, we're pretty much still practicing our quarantining. Here's what else is new...<br />

We celebrated Mother's Day! And even though we spent the entire day at home, I had zero dishes thanks to yummy take-out and delivery (all the praise hands). I feel like the only "present" I ever want for Mother's Day (besides sleeping in) is pictures with the kiddos. This is a common request of moms, right? We're always the ones behind the camera? Well, Max totally delivered with the sweetest photo shoot and I just love that he captured this special moment in time with my boys.<br />

I'm pretty much a Yale student now 😂 No, but really, I enrolled in Yale's <i><a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/the-science-of-well-being?utm_source=gg&utm_medium=sem&utm_content=09-ScienceofWellBeing-US&campaignid=9728548210&adgroupid=102459401907&device=c&keyword=yale%20happiness%20course&matchtype=b&network=g&devicemodel=&adpostion=&creativeid=433067297434&hide_mobile_promo&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-sKD9fjD6QIVD4TICh1NFQLGEAAYASAAEgLZIvD_BwE" target="_blank">The Science of Well-Being</a></i> free course online and I've been loving it! It's affectionately referred to as their "Happiness Class" and it covers all the research and studies correlating actions and happiness levels, and encourages putting the findings into action. Nothing like a pandemic to prompt some self-care, am I right? I mean, is it true that I have a reoccurring nightmare that it's the end of the undergrad quarter and I have a class that I didn't attend at all or complete any assignments for all quarter? 100% So you'd think it would be counter-productive for my wellness to enroll in such a stressor, but it's super laid back (and contrary to my dreaming, I looooooved "doing school" though apparently it caused me more anxiety than I had thought).<br />

His school had a drive through yearbook and art pick-up on the last day. Finn was less than thrilled to accompany us (he's already forgotten what it was like to wait for big brother each day in car line, haha!).<br />

Speaking of Finn, he's living his best life. Like I said - no long days getting in and out of the car. No waiting on big brother at soccer practice or piano. Finn gets toys and walks and FaceTime and books and hot tub and food and he is not one bit sad about any of it. By the way, I use the term "toys" loosely - right now Finn most enjoys screws (plastic toy ones and the real ones if he can get his hands on them) and the giant cardboard box his diapers came in. Current favorite game - dropping a screw through the handle hole of the box (and also trying to fit said screw into any hole he can find... future engineer like daddy?).</div>

We really try to get outside each and every day and we have succeeded for the most part - even with rain and crazy weather things. Above is our family selfie before run/walking the virtual 5K for Parker's school. But with two kids at home every day, and the studios I usually frequent (barre, Pilates) closed, I found myself missing out on exercise. So, I started a campaign to convince Max that we needed a Peloton in the house. I made several mini pictures like the one below, all with my head superimposed on some other bike rider. </div>

And it worked! Our Peloton is arriving June 30th! Who else out there has one? What should I know? I'm twelve kinds of excited about this.<br />

Our Finn Edward has officially made his first trip around the sun! He is wearing size 18 month clothing, size 4 diapers, and is just the cutest thing you've ever seen. He's become so much more communicative in the past few weeks. We're holding that his first official word was <i>brother </i>("buhbuhbuh" - he loves pointing to big brother and saying it) but <i>key</i> and <i>car</i> were close contenders for that number one spot. Other words include: balloon, dada, egg, camera, bird, dog, and (finally!) mama. Finn has mastered the good-bye wave, pulls himself up on anything and everything he can find, is able to locate his belly button, and loves to "brush" his own hair and teeth.<br />

Finn is obsessed with keys and cars and will locate and identify them wherever we are. There's a small vintage key in the lock on the armoire door in his room, and many a time after a nap I will find him standing in his crib, pointing to the armoire and saying kkkkkeeeeee. Unless I take him straight to the armoire to play with the key, he will cry in protest... which is actually a common theme with this guy. He voices his displeasure often and loudly (and he is less than thrilled quite frequently, most often when he desires to be holding something small, sharp and dangerous).<br />

We celebrated Finn's birthday completely at home because #quarantine. However, this guy is living his best life during this shelter at home order. No carline or running errands - just being loved on at home. And his birthday was no exception - we Facetimed with family, played with his new toys, read his new books, and sweet Finn had his very first birthday cake all to himself!</div>

I mean, he's certainly one loved little guy. His special dinner was filet mignon from our CSA, plus lots and lots of raspberries (his current favorite). We joke that Daddy is working solely to support Finn's berry habit - he's literally eating $50+ in berries each week right now! </div>

Finn loves to read - he starts and ends his days with books, and gets tons of stories in between. His current favorite is the 1953 release <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2WdfSUe" target="_blank">Daddies</a></i>. He also loves these books from the 1940's: <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2SMrXOb" target="_blank">Cowboy Small</a></i>, <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2Lf08d7" target="_blank">The Little Airplane</a></i>, and<i> <a href="https://amzn.to/2AcZRVR" target="_blank">The Little Train</a></i>. <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3fxjxUr" target="_blank">Pat the Bunny</a></i> is a new favorite, and <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3dupu2J" target="_blank">The Belly Button Book</a></i> makes him giggle so!<br />

As cranky as he can be, we just live for his little giggles, squeals, and smiles. He's still obsessed with big brother, and gets very excited whenever he sees hims. Finn also enjoys seeing and identifying dogs on our neighborhood walks. He loves to look out our upstairs windows and identify trucks, and can answer us when asked to locate things (like brother's ear!). He's also a big fan of our hot tub - so much so that he's often distracted during our dinners out on the deck, pointing to the hot tub and saying "haaaaaaa" (for <i>hot tub</i>) requesting to go in. Similarly, whenever we're in the garage, he points to the straits leading to Dada's office and says "Aaaahhhhh" (for <i>office</i>) because he loves climbing up those stairs and playing in there with all of the computer test equipment - especially the equipment with keys (we think we have a mini engineer on our hands just like his Dada). </div>

What's it like to be quarantined with a baby? It's simultaneously wonderfully delicious and cry-your-eyes out exhausting. On one hand, I feel so fortunate that time has stopped and I've had all obligations erased, and thus the ability to really soak up both Parker and Finn at this stage... but, the whole up-to-my-eyes in dishes plus absolutely no breaks has been a bit challenging. Obviously we have it easy compared to so many others - we are super fortunate in all this that Max's job is "essential" and that he's still earning a paycheck, that we have a roomy house with a yard, and that we have money for groceries and occasional takeout. Still, when I look back on this post someday, I want to remember what our days were really like...<br />

MORNING<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Max's company is encouraging work from home when possible so he's here working in his office above our garage about twice a week. We love these days because we get more time with him in the morning and see him at lunchtime and usually for a midday walk. Parker (our superstar reader) wakes up around 7AM and reads for some time in bed (just this week, he blew through the <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3dpxB0h" target="_blank">Ralph S. Mouse series</a></i>, <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2zgCk5Z" target="_blank">Matilda</a></i>, and <i><a href="https://amzn.to/3bixXEt" target="_blank">The BFG</a></i>). Finn wakes up anywhere between 6:30AM and 7:30AM and still nurses first thing.<br />

With Max off to the real or home office, the boys and I do breakfast at the kitchen counter. Parker lived in pajamas the first couple weeks of shelter at home, until I made the "one pajama day per week" rule, which is working out quite well (he gets to skip making his bed on pajama days, too). Finn gets playtime after breakfast and then books and a morning nap (usually two hours after wake-up time). This is when I clean up from breakfast, fold laundry, shower... basically anything I can't do while our little hurricane is awake.<br />

After breakfast is when Parker gets started on his day by logging into SeeSaw, the platform his school is using for their distance learning. Here's his weekly schedule (yes, that's online Chess Club and virtual piano lessons you see on there!):<br />

Max has been doing all our grocery shopping since the shelter at home order took place (yes, that means I haven't stepped foot in a grocery store since early March!). He makes a Costco trip every two weeks on Sunday mornings and we supplement with Whole Foods Prime deliveries (we are also still getting our twice-monthly CSA delivery of meat and veggies). And yes, we sanitize every item that comes into the house - better safe than sorry? I checked on Instastories just to make sure we weren't crazy and it looks like most of y'all are doing the same. Lunch during the week is leftovers, mac and cheese, or sandwiches. Afterward, the boys and I almost always do a neighborhood walk (with Max joining us when he's working from home).<br />

AFTERNOON<br />
<br />
Finn nurses then gets story time and goes down for his afternoon nap. Once again I do anything I can't do while he's awake - dinner prep, art with Parker, baking, dishes, laundry. Finn is up again around 4pm and we read and play with big brother.<br />

Many people are experiencing insomnia with the pandemic and an inability to fall asleep in a timely manner -I think that's impossible when you have a baby you're chasing all day. Once we get the boys down for the night, Max and I can barely make it through a <i>Top Chef </i>or <i>Homeland</i> before passing out.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm back with my latest quarantine reads - because in a pandemic, it's comforting to "get away" even if it's just through literature. I'm reviewing two recent releases and two throwbacks that I'm juuuust getting around to reading because, I'm slow (seriously, for further proof of my slowness, refer back to <a href="http://www.klein.co/2016/03/confessional-thursday_31.html" target="_blank">this blog post</a> I penned in 2016). A state-wide shelter-in-place seemed like the perfect time to finally get around to reading them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First up was Jessica Simpson's new memoir, </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062899961/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0062899961&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=f3df0410198ccc12ff9216c9b25e21b3" target="_blank"><i>Open Book</i></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0062899961" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">. I had no idea what to expect when opening it up, but I ended up being all sorts of delightfully surprised. You're going to read this book and, no matter how you felt about Jessica Simpson prior to reading it, will end up loving her. It's evident that she has a big heart. But it's also evident that she stayed frozen at that teenage age she became famous at. Her actions and reasoning lack growth and maturity, and so many times during her story did I want to just reach out and shake her out of whatever bad situation she was in (namely letting her father and boyfriends take advantage of her, and letting relationship issues self sabotage her work life). Still, she presents her story with no apologies which I just respect the hell out of. Plus, the effort put into writing the book was no small feat - coming in at 400 pages, she (and her co-writer) do her story justice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love that the book literally took me back to senior year in high school, when Jessica Simpson emerged onto the mainstream scene. I vividly remember watching her music videos on MTV's TRL after school with my bestie, Christine. Side note, how odd is it to think that, back in those days, live television and the radio were the only ways to see music videos or hear songs, save for buying the CD. It's such a given now that, from any phone or computer, you can pull up just about any song or music video in mere seconds. Anyway, back to the book. It was fascinating to pair her accounts of events with what I remember seeing and hearing at the time - like her marriage to Nick Lachey and their reality show, <i>Newlyweds</i>, that I watched with my little sister Michelle (I think she loved it so much she owns the DVDs). Their divorce was played out in the media, as was the fact that Jessica came into the marriage less famous than Nick, left more famous than him, and had to pay out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are endearing parts of the book - like when Simpson sang the wrong lyrics to <i>God Bless America</i> while performing at The White House, and how then President Bush assured her that "God blessed the rivers, too." And there were absolute cringe-worthy moments as well. At one point, John Mayer was royally messing with Jessica's head and she spent all night obsessing about him instead of preparing for a performance... then drank so much before she went onstage the next day that she messed up all the lyrics and had to stop singing mid-song and apologize to Dolly Parton, the shows honoree. Simpson's drinking reaches a tipping point that she addresses (out of order) first thing in the novel. The story is harrowing - how she started each day with a drink and spent Halloween so drunk she couldn't dress her kids in their costumes. This finally led her to therapy and giving up all alcohol, which, again, has my respect as very commendable. I mean, there's the question of how ethical it was to serve as the face of Weight Watchers while taking large amounts of prescription stimulants and undergoing two tummy tucks, buuuuut, I guess I'll let that one slide. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The other recent release I read was the latest from B.A. Paris, <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1250151368/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1250151368&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=401cd80fe2e4a4500f7b2f116bd8bbad" target="_blank">The Dilemma</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=1250151368" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i>. Y'all, I have been counting down the days for this book to be in my hands. Psychological thrillers are my jam and no one does them better than B.A. Paris. Behind Closed Doors is maybe one of my favorite reads, ever, and The Breakdown was also incredible. So maybe my very high hopes for The Dilemma doomed it from the beginning? Like, it would be impossible for it to live up to my mind's expectation? If you've read it, let me know what you think, because I found it lacking. Furthermore, the entire length of the book I was searching for the sociopath. Where was the sociopath? Spoiler alert: it wasn't a psychological thriller at all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>It’s Livia’s 40th birthday, and her husband Adam is throwing her the party of a lifetime to make up for the wedding they never had. Everyone she loves will be there, except her daughter Marnie, who’s studying abroad. But Livia is secretly glad Marnie won’t be there. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Livia has recently uncovered a secret about their daughter which, if revealed, will shake the foundation of their family to its core. She needs to tell Adam, but she’s waiting until the party is over so they can have this last happy time together.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Adam, meanwhile, has his own surprise for Livia: he’s arranged for Marnie to secretly fly back for the party. But before Marnie arrives, Adam hears some terrible news. Now he too is faced with a dilemma: Does he share what he's learned with his wife? Is hiding the truth the same as telling a lie? And how far are Adam and Livia willing to go to protect the ones they love—and give each other a last few hours of happiness?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I kept making up wild scenarios that would provide a twist, but alas, it was super straightforward. I feel like if I hadn't been expecting, say, a husband who was gaslighting his wife into thinking she was crazy or something similar, I *might* have enjoyed the book more, but alas I'll never know. Again, please share if you've read it! I'm dying to know what other people think on this one.</span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Jen Dixon is not your typical Kansas City kindergarten class mom—or mom in general. Jen already has two college-age daughters by two different (probably) musicians, and it’s her second time around the class mom block with five-year-old Max—this time with a husband and father by her side. Though her best friend and PTA President sees her as the “wisest” candidate for the job (or oldest), not all of the other parents agree.</i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>From recording parents’ response times to her emails about helping in the classroom, to requesting contributions of “special” brownies for curriculum night, not all of Jen’s methods win approval from the other moms. Throw in an old flame from Jen’s past, a hyper-sensitive “allergy mom,” a surprisingly sexy kindergarten teacher, and an impossible-to-please Real Housewife-wannabe, causing problems at every turn, and the job really becomes much more than she signed up for. </i></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Relatable, irreverent, and hilarious in the spirit of Maria Semple, <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Class Mom</span> is a fresh, welcome voice in fiction—the kind of novel that real moms clamor for, and a vicarious thrill-read for all mothers, who will be laughing as they are liberated by Gelman’s acerbic truths.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Amazon synopsis:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><i>Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black;">This is truly an amazing story, although my one critique is that the entire last part seemed rushed. The author goes into such great detail for her early life but just kind of skims her graduate years (which are the ones in which she returns over and over to her family's land in kind of a Groundhog Day repetitive scenario before finally severing connection and departing for the very last time). Also, my goodness what happened to boyfriend Drew? He was peppered in the novel as her long-distance boyfriend and has such a profound effect on her story, but is listed in the Author's Note as just a dear friend. What happened to Drew? Inquiring minds want to know! Or, you know, inquiring minds are quarantined and are starved for gossip. Same thing.</span></span></div>

Oh, Finn Edward. You are the exclamation point on our family sentence. Born into a house of first-borns, you remind us every day that you, sir, are different. Determined to prove sibling theory correct, you display all the hallmark characteristics of a classic second born. While the rest of this house is cautious and structured, you have been rebellious and dramatic since day one (when you arrived so fast that Dada and the nurses barely got the table pulled out for your delivery, nevermind that there was no medical doctor in sight).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
From that day forward, you protested LOUDLY anything and everything that wasn't to your liking. These days, that includes diaper changes and getting dressed - both of which activities you spend wrestling with such physical force that I'm exhausted just thinking about it. But oh, have you made all of our lives better in every single way. We cannot remember a time without you and your infectious giggle (even though, yes, there's a fair amount of trouble lurking behind it!). You have kept us all on our toes for the past eleven months and I believe that you'll continue to do so forever. You're happiest when you're climbing or beelining for the most dangerous item in the room. Your proud smile when you pull yourself up to standing is just the cutest thing ever, and it lets us know that walking is just around the corner (heaven help us).<br />

This past month was an unprecedented one for the books with a global pandemic that put a stop to social life as we knew it. For the past three weeks we have been essentially "sheltering in place" to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. Alabama is in a weird in-between with all schools and non-essential businesses closed, however we're not technically on a stay-at-home order, though in this house we're acting as if we are. Among cancelled plans, though, was your first trip to Dallas to visit the grandparents and this missed opportunity is one of the saddest for us (we'll make it up as soon as we're able!). Dada's company is actually on the essential list even for a shelter-in-place order so he's still been going in when he has to and working from home when he can, and he's also the one doing the grocery shopping for us now (once a week which is much less frequent than what we're used to). I'm not sure how much of all this you notice - it actually might mean things are better for you since we are no longer on big brother's schedule, carting him to school and lessons and practices, and we can now just play at home all day and go for walks. You now wake up around 6:30AM, and have two 1-3 hour naps (one at 8AM and the other around 1PM or 2PM). You nurse when you wake up, after your naps, and before bed. You continue to LOVE real food and insist on feeding yourself. Recent favorites include tamales, fresh mozzarella, steamed apple slices, raspberries, roasted sweet potatoes, and now that you have FOUR teeth, whole bananas eaten like a monkey. Yesterday you ate five apples over the course of the day, and last week you had an entire carton of raspberries in one sitting - you know what you like! You enjoy listening to Taylor Swift and The Beach Boys, but (to Mama's horror) you prefer Dada's heavy metal music. You'll dance to any of it. </div>

Pre-quarantine seems like a lifetime ago. Leaving the house, eating at restaurants, traveling by plane! These activities are so foreign now. But back when Finn turned ten months old, we were still completely unaware of what was ahead.<br />

This month was our last "business as usual" month for some while. We attended the HSO's family day (Finn's first symphony experience), we made a short trip out to California where Finn met his cousin Sophie for the first time, and Finn "voted" in his first primary! The Costco photo below is especially eerie, since that same aisle these days is just decimated after the mass panic purchasing of all paper goods. Hoping everyone is "staying safe and staying home" ♥</div>

Pandemics require some escape reading, am I right? <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385494785/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0385494785&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=e683997125b3045e35353421b19a2730" target="_blank">Into Thin Air</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0385494785" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> </i>will totally take you to a different world - the one on top of Mt. Everest to be exact. I think in another life I must have climbed Mt. Everest. I'm pretty much obsessed with all the details surrounding this endeavor. I loved the movie <i>Everest</i>, and last year right around the climb window (May) I picked up Jon Krakauer's personal account of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster shown in the movie. I read it again recently, because it's such an escape (which is a little bit needed right about now).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Summiting Mt. Everest (the highest point on earth) involves an incredible amount of planning and challenges. The highest 3,000 or so feet are in what's referred to as the "death zone" where the atmosphere is so thin that human bodies can't function for long without supplemental oxygen. Even getting to base camp is a feat that involves planes, buses, helicopters and a multi-day trek. Krakauer (a journalist) joined one of the 1996 guided Everest expeditions to attempt to summit himself, and to cover the experience for a magazine. At the time, guided expeditions to Everest were a relatively new development - and the idea that amateur climbers could summit the mountain was still novel. Krakauer ended up writing an entire book on his experience since it ended up being so unprecedented. Here's what Amazon says about the book...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">A bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that "suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down." He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more--including Krakauer's--in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for </span><b style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385494785/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0385494785&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=fa96e4652b781a470a5b17d19d77588f" target="_blank">Into Thin Air</a></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">, Krakauer's epic account of the May 1996 disaster.</span></i></span><br />
<br />
The well-researched novel is full of the mountain's history (the discovery it was the highest point on earth, the first attempts at climbing it and the first successful ones), and it gives great detail on all the technical aspects of climbing it as well as an overview of the disaster. Many factors were involved, including the absence of climbing lines, an over-capacitated summit attempt window, and a devastating storm.<br />
<br />
My husband Max (a junior high student at the time) remembers the disaster because Beck Weathers, the father of one of Max's schoolmates, was on the very same expedition as Jon Krakauer. Beck's story is outlined in the book - he didn't make it back to Camp 3 in the storm and he was exposed to the deadly elements overnight. The rescue crew that later found him left him presuming he was dead. This information was relayed back to his family in Dallas. Miraculously, Beck awoke later in the day and made it back to Camp 3 entirely on his own. This news was then relayed back to the Texas community who rallied to arrange an airlift off the mountain (something that had never been attempted because of the extreme hight). If you enjoy <i>Into Thin Air</i>, Beck Weathers penned his own account the expedition in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QCSAAY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000QCSAAY&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=2baa43291d4df83881ca808ae01ee3d6" target="_blank"><i>Left for Dead</i></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B000QCSAAY" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />, which also includes his early climbing experiences as well as his recovery after being rescued off Mt. Everest. I devoured his book as well, because, as I said before, I'm kind of obsessed. Let me know what you think of <i>Into Thin Air</i>!<br />

This sweet soul turned seven years old yesterday. Even just last week, we thought this day would look a lot different...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>We assumed he would go to school and bring in cupcakes for his class... that he'd have piano lessons in the afternoon, and that we'd do his traditional sushi dinner out that night (Dada was originally scheduled to fly to Las Vegas after the dinner, but a few weeks ago that changed before anything else when conferences were starting to be cancelled). Never in a million years would I have guessed that schools would be closed nation-wide, that we'd be doing distance learning this day, that restaurants would be curbside pick-up and delivery only, that friends and family in California would literally be doing "shelter in place" and that a global pandemic would have been announced. I feel like even before this, Max and I had both been acutely aware of how precious health is - and all we can hope for is that social distancing and quarantines are going to save lives and allow for the care that's needed.<br />

What's crazy to think is that, as of last week, things were *relatively* normal - so much so, that we still hosted Parker's small party at Top Golf. He insisted on a "chess themed" party with golf - combining his two very favorite things. </div>

I feel like there's a real possibility that this was the first ever "chess themed" kids party 😂 When my efforts to convince Parker to change to Star Wars didn't work, I got creative to make it work. But really, a chess theme perfectly captures our PCK right now and I'm so glad he was insistent. </div>

By the time this past Wednesday rolled around though, our world had literally changed. We played up the awesome bonus of a birthday at home - pajamas all day! And we began with our tradition of donut breakfast in bed. This started some years ago when Parker read about breakfast in bed in a book. He thought it was the best idea ever, but we told him it was for a special occasion like a birthday, thinking he'd forget all about it since his birthday was still months and months away. Of course he remembered and I'm sure we will still be doing this when he's in high school. </div>

We had a special birthday lunch of Domaine South delivered, and enjoyed lots and lots of FaceTime calls plus outdoor play and a walk around the neighborhood (but Parker said his favorite part of the day was opening presents, haha!). Our favorite babysitter even delivered macarons (one of P's faves!) and a birthday card, and wished him Happy Birthday from across our yard (because #socialdistancing y'all).<br />

Of course we try to go the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345472322/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0345472322&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=25cfbe67f867ee23705fdd9812e9257c" target="_blank">Carol Dweck</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0345472322" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> route and focus on praising hard work and effort versus praising winning, so the fact that Parker had four wins and one draw was just the icing on the cake for us. </div>

We learned a lot about the US Chess Federation (I mean, I went into the weekend not even knowing it was a thing). They are just as meticulous and detailed as you would expect a bunch of chess enthusiast to be. At one point Max looked up how a tie breaker is determined, and they had pages and pages on how it's done. Similarly, a huge amount of work goes into rating the players (Parker will get his official rating based on his performance in this tournament next month). </div>

We also learned that chess tournament days are loooong. Luckily, this tournament was hosted at our neighborhood elementary school so Finn and I were able to walk back and forth for meals and naps - but Max and Parker were there from 9am to 5pm! There was an hour and a half in between each round (though Parker never took anywhere near that long for any of his games). </div>

Parker played in the K-3 Under 300 division (for players unrated like him or whose rating was 300 or below). We had no idea how he was going to fare. Parker is used to playing with his own chess club and he's used to winning (he hasn't lost a single game at chess club this year) so we gave him lots of warnings that this would be different and that he should be prepared to lose. We didn't know what this would look like - would someone checkmate him in just two moves? (Something Parker affectionately calls a Scholars Mate and something he's done to me on multiple occasions.) But when he walked back from the chess room just 11 minutes into the first round with his first win, we started to think that maybe, just maybe he really does have a knack for this. </div>

And oh yes, he walked back in alone from the chess room - parents are not allowed to watch the live play which I actually prefer (I get way too nervous). Parents may walk the kids to their spots and then can return to the cafeteria waiting area. Round two, Parker was paired with the number two ranked player (out of the thirty three participants in his division) and when he came running into the room with his second win, I just about cried. </div>

In sadder news, my beloved Niners lost the Super Bowl last weekend. I mean, I was stoked that they made it though - especially since not many of their games are televised here in Alabama so I miss most of them over the course of any football season. But, back in the day, I was a proper fan. </div>

I lived in the Bay Area through the really low years (think first round draft pick years) when the first "49ers Faithful" campaign went around (faithful like - we know we're the worst in the league right now but remember when we won Super Bowls?). I feel like the campaign has had several revolutions at this point. The last time they were at a Super Bowl was actually when I was pregnant with Parker!</div>

In more bad news, I posted several videos on Instastories explaining the latest on our bathroom drama. We spent the good part of a week with fans and dehumidifiers running in the shower and under the house and finally got everything dry... only to confirm that our shower pan in the master bath is leaking. We need to remove the tile to get to the shower pan, which means we need to <i>gut</i> the entire bathroom. Yep, you read that right. </div>

The shower tile is connected to the bathtub and floor tile, so it all needs to come up. The vanities sit on top of the tile, so those need to be removed. The granite on the vanities is attached to the wall, not to mention the plumbing... its a mess. And I feel like renovating a bathroom is just the last thing I want on my plate right now (especially since we were perfectly happy with it!). </div>

Back to happier news: Max and I had a rare date night last week, attending The Huntsville Museum of Art Guild's annual fundraiser. This is my third year on the guild, and the first on the committee for the fundraiser, doing the social media. I've been having so much fun posting - especially on Instagram. Follow along @hmaguild to see what else the guild is up to!</div>

Yesterday, I made the chicken with Whole Foods BBQ sauce and a champagne vinaigrette since that's what we had on hand from Amazon Prime Now Delivery from Whole Foods (what did I ever do without this service?). The chicken is super versatile. Last night I served it on hamburger buns along with the easiest slaw made with the mix and dressing below (the dressing is actually Whole 30 approved and so yummy, very heavy on the dill). </div>

Y'all, I've been having so much fun with my new book club! Here's what we've been up to...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
In November, we read the recent release <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006285531X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=006285531X&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=b1373ef8ca2f5a0c1dd55b4e65779043" target="_blank">Never Have I Ever</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=006285531X" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i>. This is the Amazon synopsis:</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Amy Whey is proud of her ordinary life and the simple pleasures that come with it—teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club. Her greatest joy is her family: her devoted professor husband, her spirited fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, her adorable infant son. And, of course, the steadfast and supportive Charlotte. But Amy’s sweet, uncomplicated life begins to unravel when the mysterious and alluring Angelica Roux arrives on her doorstep one book club night.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Sultry and magnetic, Roux beguiles the group with her feral charm. She keeps the wine flowing and lures them into a game of spilling secrets. Everyone thinks it’s naughty, harmless fun. Only Amy knows better. Something wicked has come her way—a she-devil in a pricey red sports car who seems to know the terrible truth about who she is and what she once did. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>When they’re alone, Roux tells her that if she doesn’t give her what she asks for, what she deserves, she’s going to make Amy pay for her sins. One way or another.</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>To protect herself and her family and save the life she’s built, Amy must beat the devil at her own clever game, matching wits with Roux in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets. Amy knows the consequences if she can’t beat Roux. What terrifies her is everything she could lose if she wins. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>A diabolically entertaining tale of betrayal, deception, temptation, and love filled with dark twists leavened by Joshilyn Jackson’s trademark humor, <span style="font-style: italic;">Never Have I Ever</span> explores what happens when the transgressions of our past come back with a vengeance.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was right up my alley being a psychological thriller. Side note, Max thinks it's hilarious that I enjoy psychological thrillers because in real life, he says I live on a pink cloud where only good things happen. Similarly, he thinks it's bizarre that I'm obsessed with <i>The Real Housewives</i> shows since all they do is fight and I'm uber conflict adverse, but that's a different story. Anyway, back to the book. It was the story that kept on giving. Twists and turns kept being introduced, and while our book club agreed that the main character wasn't necessarily likable, you still rooted for her. A big plot point went unanswered which I hate, but it was interesting to see the different takes we all had on what we thought had happened. Pick this book up and I promise, you won't be able to put it down!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our January read was 2015's <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143109413/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0143109413&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=57cd9a114e02ad46139046e87f14295e" target="_blank">Kitchens of the Great Midwest</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0143109413" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i> by J. Ryan Stradal. Y'all, this book club meeting was epic. <i>Kitchens of the Great Midwest </i>revolves around food, and our book club did the story proud by recreating the most important dishes in the book for our get-together. January's hostess came up with the entire idea. She even reached out to the author who offered up his own questions on the book to us via instagram, how cool is that? Here's the Amazon synopsis:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><i>When Lars Thorvald’s wife, Cynthia, falls in love with wine—and a dashing sommelier—he’s left to raise their baby, Eva, on his own. He’s determined to pass on his love of food to his daughter—starting with puréed pork shoulder. As Eva grows, she finds her solace and salvation in the flavors of her native Minnesota. From Scandinavian lutefisk to hydroponic chocolate habaneros, each ingredient represents one part of Eva’s journey as she becomes the star chef behind a legendary and secretive pop-up supper club, culminating in an opulent and emotional feast that’s a testament to her spirit and resilience.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white;">Each chapter in J. Ryan Stradal’s startlingly original debut tells the story of a single dish and character, at once capturing the zeitgeist of the Midwest, the rise of foodie culture, and delving into the ways food creates community and a sense of identity. By turns quirky, hilarious, and vividly sensory, </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic;">Kitchens of the Great Midwest</span><span style="background-color: white;"> is an unexpected mother-daughter story about the bittersweet nature of life—its missed opportunities and its joyful surprises.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Oh my word, this. book. It was like nothing I've ever read. First, it's brutal. I threw it across the bed at least three times while reading it, proclaiming to Max that it was terrible. When he asked if it was poor writing or a boring story, I cried that, no, it was just pulling at my heart strings and deeply, deeply sad. Some of the scenarios that played out just tore me, but I kept reading and I'm so happy I did because the novel was so clever and overall wonderful. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Spoiler alert - each chapter of <i>Kitchens of the Great Midwest</i> is told from a different character's point of view - all in chronological order, but they leave you guessing where the main character (Eva) is and how everyone relates to her. Characters come rolling in and out and the final chapter ends with an amazing meal, because yes, food is in every fiber of every sentence. The book will make you want to hop into a kitchen and get cooking. It takes "foodie culture" to an extreme, which we semi poked fun at when creating our book club menu. I was responsible for the Caesar Salad with "Imported Parmesan, House Made Dressing with Local Pastured Eggs, and House Made Croutons Hand Shaken with Minced Garlic" - I need the crying laughing emoji, but you will totally get it if you read the book. Our commemoration meal was all sorts of incredible! </span></div>

Each chapter was a perfect little tidbit to read (and have me laughing out loud) before bed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><i>Helen Ellis has a mantra: "If you don't have something nice to say, say something not-so-nice in a nice way." Say "weathered" instead of "she looks like a cake left out in the rain." Say "early-developed" instead of "brace face and B cups." And for the love of Coke Salad, always say "Sorry you saw something that offended you" instead of "Get that stick out of your butt, Miss Prissy Pants." In these twenty-three raucous essays Ellis transforms herself into a dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a $795 Burberry trench coat, witnesses a man fake his own death at a party, avoids a neck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a drag queen. While she may have left her home in Alabama, married a New Yorker, forgotten how to drive, and abandoned the puffy headbands of her youth, Helen Ellis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, and offering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found the stories extra hilarious actually living in Alabama now, though I took great offense to the line where the author says that you haven't let yourself go until your wedding rings don't fit. Y'all. My wedding rings do not fit. The same thing happened after I gave birth to Parker and I couldn't wear them again until after his first birthday and after I stopped nursing... so let's hope that happens again. I tried to slip them on after reading that line and just about got them stuck so I won't be trying again any time soon. </span></div>

It's more of a coffee table type book with cute little sayings and advice on living in the South. Really, I needed this book five years ago when we moved here, haha! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The hilarious book that the South’s very own Dolly Parton described as “fun, informative, and oh-so Southern,” <span style="font-style: italic;">Talk Southern To Me</span> is a love letter to the South, y’all. Essays ’bout charm, beauty and style, chewin’ the fat, love, parenting, and more―full of yes ma’ams and no sirs, casseroles and cheese balls, taffeta and pom-poms . . . plus more Southern phrases than you can shake a stick at. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>If you’re not from the South, bless your heart, pay attention cause there’s a ton of wisdom to be found in these heartfelt, humorous ways. Southerners speak their own unique version of the English language, and you’ll come to understand it in these pages. It’s a linguistic art. And it’s gooder than grits, y’all. </i></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>South Carolina native, Julia Fowler<b>,</b> is the creator of YouTube’s Southern Women Channel, home of the viral video series, <span style="font-style: italic;">Sh%t Southern Women Say.</span> She is an actor, writer, and producer who has worked in television, film, and on Broadway. She currently resides in Venice Beach, California, and is generally irritated that it’s void of proper fried okra. Visit her at www.southernwomenchannel.com.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you love the South, or, if you're like me and are moving there after a lifetime of being a West Coaster, this one's for you!</span><br />

Our Finn Edward is nine months old! He's mastered the army crawl, is wearing size 12-18 month clothing, and can already pack away a full size adult meal (boy can eat!). He goes crazy for crab, and loves steak, shrimp, and fish as well. He has a knack for identifying the most dangerous thing in the room and beelining straight for it. We live for his giggles and smiles - he loves playing on the carpet, flipping book pages when we read to him, being carried face-out in the Bjorn with Dada, peek-a-boo, cruising in his walker, sucking his thumb, being tickled, and going for walks around the neighborhood. He takes 2-3 naps a day (anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours) and goes on and off with sleeping through the night. Here's a look back at months seven, eight and nine...<br />

Welcome to Finn's nursery! It's about 90% complete. I'd still like to swap out the ceiling fan for a wooden light fixture of some sort, but this is what it's looked like for quite awhile now though I'm just finally getting around to sharing it (the little one who occupies this little space is high maintenance!).</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This room was a home office for the previous owners of our house, and when we moved in we said it would make a perfect nursery someday since it's right off the master. For the first four years we lived here, it was a study of sorts with a bed for overflow guests. When it was time to transition it to a nursery, we got rid of the bed and high dresser but kept the armoire (that was full of books) and turned it into a closet since the room lacked one (Finn loves to crawl over to that armoire and open the drawer on the right, which you can see in the photo below, haha!).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We of course didn't know if the room would be for a boy or girl when we were prepping it, so we kept to whites and creams. We bought the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bc79h" target="_blank">PB Kids Elsie</a> crib and dresser/changing table in white and figured we'd add pink or blue accents after baby was born. Leading up to delivery day, Finn's Nana and Papa actually had a local baby store's number set on speed dial to order one of two rockers (pink or blue) once the baby was born! (Spoiler alert - they ordered the blue!)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After we brought Finn home, I purchased <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bc8g5" target="_blank">this blue Michelle Armas print</a> for above his crib - we ended up hanging it between the crib and chair because there were already brackets on the wall there (we also skipped painting the room). I bought one more blue themed print from <a href="https://blakelymade.com/" target="_blank">Blakey Made</a> for above the bookcase and then hung an original watercolor we had from a local artist above the changing table next to <a href="https://blakelymade.com/" target="_blank">this mirror</a>. The watercolor is actually a painting of downtown Huntsville which I think is such a sweet nod to Finn's birthplace (Parker similarly has an original painting of a saguaro cactus in his room to represent Scottsdale where he was born).</div>

The rug is a super, super plush Calvin Klein one scored super discounted from Home Goods. I stalked our local Home Goods with my newborn for weeks knowing I wanted something super thick and cushy for the nursery floor - and when I finally found it, I insisted that Max pick it up directly from work that very single day less we lose out on it (he Herculesed the entire thing into the house all on his own but said he only had one shot to do it and it would stay wherever it landed, haha!). </div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 67, 64);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Follow a strong-willed little girl and her tired mother through their affirmation of love for each other. This rhythmic story with beautiful watercolor illustrations depicts the deep love between a mother and child while also teaching children their place in the world. Each page has an interactive element as you and your child can search for the heart cleverly incorporated into each illustration.</i></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 67, 64);">The watercolor pictures are so bright and pretty, and after Parker read it for the first time, he told me it was "all about love" - he even insisted on doing the same love affirmations that night. At six years old, his favorite part, however, was locating the heart on each page (he loves a hidden challenge!). Finn (8 months) loved listening to it and watching the pictures from out of arms reach lest he try to eat them (but it's never too early to read to a baby so we were able to incorporate this book right in). </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 67, 64);"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 67, 64);"><i>Thank you, Lisa, for sharing your positive light with this book! </i></span></span></div>

Twenty twenty has been kind of like that for us so far. We rang it in with the discovery of a shower leak and water damage under the house (and subsequent round-the-clock dehumidifiers for a week)...<br />

Plus, we're still all sorts of sleep deprived. One weekend after Pilates class, I tried to get into the wrong car in the parking lot. Like, kept trying to open the door until I realized it wasn't my vehicle. Y'all, it wasn't even the same make or model as the one I own. I've tried to take my make-up off with contact solution, applied stretch mark cream to my face, and I've left the house in my slippers more times than I can count. Twice I even tried to put Finn (in his infant carrier carseat) into my car's back trunk (both times it took several seconds of staring at the trunk to figure out that, no, this was not the place for his carseat). But things are looking up - as of last week, Finn is finally (for the most part) sleeping through the night! And we only have about seven months of sleep to catch up on. But we are safe and healthy and that's all I can ask for (though a working shower in our master bath would be nice!).<br />

The above photo is one of my favorites from this trip and perfectly captures the vibes of this vacation - slow, relaxing and beautiful, with Max wearing Finn in the Baby Bjorn, and Parker two seconds away from running out onto the beach to frolic in the waves. </div>

Our last days in Grand Cayman went as follows - wake up, breakfast on the balcony, ocean, pool, food, repeat. Max and Parker took a spin on the Seafire's jet skis, we laughed, and napped, and ate enough local seafood to last us until our next trip 😊 Our first vacation as a family of four was just perfect!</div>

Finn has been halfway around the sun! He is wearing size 9-12 month clothing and size three diapers. This was a BIG month as he went on his first airplane ride, earned his first passport stamp, saw the ocean for the first time, started eating solids, and moved to sleeping full-time in his nursery (no more bassinet by Mama and Dada's bed - he pretty much outgrew it!). He's still waking up at least once a night to nurse, but his nursery is right next to our bedroom which is nice.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
We waited until after our vacation to introduce Finn to solids since we didn't know how he would react (it's a big change fully using that digestive system for the first time!). We were so excited to finally introduce him to solids as he's shown interest for a long time. He started off at five-and-a-half months with avocado purée (same as big brother), then moved on to sweet potato (a big hit and still his favorite). Our CSA has been providing us with lots of great local seasonal fruits and veggies, so I've also puréed acorn squash, turnip, apple, and butternut squash. Finn quickly went from one "meal" a day to two and can eat several servings at a time (and I think if we let him, he'd gladly take a bite of cheeseburger or ice cream - we always feel bad eating real food in front of him because he just stares at it, arms reached out).<br />
<br />
Finn's babbling went to the next level this month with the repetitive consonant/vowel sounds "babababa" and, my favorite of course, "mamamamamama" 😊 We love reading to him, singing to him, and making him laugh, and he loves watching his big brother. I think Finn's favorite time of day is when we return home from picking Parker up at school and Parker gets to play with him! Parker has also taken quite the interest in feeding Finn his purees and even helps with bath time.<br />
<br />
We officially have a thumb sucker - it's Finn's favorite way to self-soothe and he usually goes right for it when he's placed in his crib. Napping has been so much better, and Finn's been so much happier in general (though we're being visited by the teething monster currently, with just the hint of a bottom tooth poking through Finn's gums).<br />
<br />
Finn was a doll on our family vacation, and we're happy to report that he seems to love our favorite island (Grand Cayman) just as much as we do.<br />

Earlier this month, we headed out on our first vacation as a family of four! We wanted something beautiful and relaxing, so our favorite island was just the ticket.<br />

Were we a little ambitious to book international travel with a high-maintenance, generally fussy baby? Yes. However, in between booking said travel and actually doing the traveling, Finn calmed down quite a bit, actually started napping, and became a much more amenable baby in general. He did great on our two-leg journey through Charlotte to Grand Cayman. Parker, as always, was our star traveler.<br />

This was Parker's second time to Grand Cayman, my third, and Max's fourth. On the immigration form, there are special boxes for the number of previous visits: none, one, and 2+. I was stoked to move up to the 2+ and Parker got bumped up as well. (Side note, there is also a special box for marking your travel as a "dive vacation" which is what we did back in 2011 - we are so missing diving these days, but nothing compares to having excited kiddos in tow.) Upon landing, we walked over to pick up our mid-sized car and Max got settled in the right-hand drive seat. On our first visit together, we relied on taxis and the (somewhat sketchy, sporadic) bus system, however on our last trip we tried renting a vehicle and it was a total game changer for us. We loved the ability to go wherever, whenever. You just need a driver brave enough to tackle a right-sided vehicle, driving on the left, and more traffic circles than you can imagine (five minutes into last year's trip I changed my "maybe" attitude to "most definitely not" for getting behind the wheel there). <br />

It was a quick ten minutes to get to our hotel on Seven Mile Beach. On our previous trips, we stayed at The Westin, but switched it up this year and tried The Kimpton Seafire. Spoiler alert: I'll never stay anywhere else! From literally the moment we pulled up, the service was over-the-top spectacular. The only thing I can compare it to was our honeymoon in Bora Bora. The Seafire is branded as a "luxury" resort and they really go all-out to get that feel. Check-in included complimentary bottled water and rosé, and greeting our kids with stingray stuffed animals. Over our time there, the helpful staff offered to set up pack-and-plays at the beach, gave restaurant recommendations, handed out complimentary popsicles at the pool, and greeted us by name. Not to mention that the actual resort was new, modern, and gorgeous. When we compared them later on in the week, the only area that The Westin won out in was their ground-level beachfront room that offered direct beach access (the Kimpton is more of a high rise set-up with the pool in between the hotel and beach). But as far as the actual room went, Kimpton still won that comparison hands-down (especially since we were upgraded to a suite, thank you business travel hotel points!).<br />

This was the pull-out bed in the main "living area" or, what we referred to as Parker's room for the rest of the trip. Little Man was stoked to get his own room. Also, we were totally spoiled by all the space (our walk-in closet could have been a room of its own!).<br />

Our waiter promised us that they served the island's best ceviche and Piña Coladas, and he was so right. I literally ended up having some sort of ceviche every. single. day.<br />

We brought back up coffee for mama, tea for dada, and cereal from the hotel pantry for Parker. We started out each morning here on our balcony, and it was just the perfect way to greet each day.<br />

On this day, the water was a bit choppy for Seven Mile Beach (you can see the seaweed all stirred up) - however, choppy for Seven Mile Beach is pretty much calm and still for anywhere else.<br />

After our morning at the beach, we drove over to our favorite restaurant, Macabuca at The Cracked Conch. It's a casual, outdoor restaurant right on the water. Max always orders the cracked conch sandwich here - I switched it up and got the island lobster sandwich this time which was equally as yummy, and Parker chose the local Fish and Chips.</div>

Next up was the grocery store! We wanted some snack items to bring on the boat the next day, and some breakfast items to keep in the hotel room for Parker. We picked up a passionfruit as well as some local lychee to try, plus some drinks and snacks that aren't widely found in the U.S. Oh, and milk. Always milk for Parker!<br />

When we returned to the hotel, we let Finn get a good nap in his crib, and Parker and I went on search for the life-size chess set on the property. Unfortunately, we found out that it was damaged and being repaired, and we were instead given a regular set to take with us (I told you the customer service was impeccable!). Parker and I took it back to Coccoloba and played while enjoying blended drinks (a Mudslide for me, some sort of coconut, banana, cream, and chocolate concoction for him).<br />

Finn was still sleeping when we got back to our room, so we took the opportunity to dig into some of our grocery store finds.<br />

Dinner that night was The Brasserie in Georgetown (a ten minute drive from the hotel). Our waiter from the night before recommended it to us. It was the only restaurant on our list that wasn't on the water, so since it was a rainy night, we decided it was the perfect time to try it. Max got the local swordfish (fantastic), and I ordered the local snapper (also delicious). Max proclaimed this the best restaurant of the trip. The staff was also super friendly, especially to Parker. The hostess literally took him around the restaurant at one point and he also got in a game of chess with one of the busboys.<br />

That night, Coccoloba (Seafire's casual beachfront restaurant) had Taco Tuesday Night which we were told was not to be missed! We enjoyed live music, plus specialty margaritas (mine was watermelon) and the best tacos. </div>

We blinked and September was over, and somehow our babe is five months old! He is still our high maintenance grumpster, but he's napping more which helps everything. And while he's super picky about most things, he'll take a bottle straight up cold so I guess that makes up for it?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Fin is wearing size three diapers and 6-12 month clothing. Parker's hand-me-downs are a bit snug on him because he's such a bigger baby!<br />
<br />
Finn is loving grabbing anything and everything in front of him. He kicks his legs like crazy while in the bathtub, and can roll several times in a row (which means he can move quite a ways when we put him down!). We live for his little smile and giggles and he still lights up whenever he watches big brother.<br />
<br />
Finn has been doing all his naps in his nursery for some time, and now does most of his nighttime sleep there as well. He's 100% a stomach sleeper now, which I think is helping him sleep longer and better. We switch him from his crib to his bassinet by our bed around 2AM after his first nighttime feed. He's still waking up to nurse twice a night - we've tried and tried to get him back to sleep without eating, but boy is #hungry. We're hoping starting solids this month will help!<br />

Raise you hand if you've ever changed a diaper out of the back of your car? Fed a toddler a chicken nugget meal in his car seat? Spilled coffee all over the driver's side and center console? I'm guilty of all this and more.<br />

My car is the hub of everything - some days I feel like we're in and out of it a million times - and with carline, errands, meetings, soccer practice, piano lessons, grocery shopping, and play dates, we pretty much are! Keeping on top of a clean car is a daily challenge, but luckily there's an affordable and convenient solution to the mobile messes that moms face every day: <a href="https://ooh.li/18b0fda" target="_blank">Armor All wipes</a>.<br />

These wipes are quick, convenient, and can be used on the whole car. The glass wipes are perfect for getting the windows next to the carseats - mine are usually full of teeny, tiny handprints. (And let's be honest, sometimes teeny tiny mouth prints, too!) The cleaning wipes get the dirt and grime (hello post-tee ball practice six-year-old touching all the things), and the protectant ones revitalize the vinyl, rubber and plastic. Parenting is messy, but with Armor All, it's easy to look good.<br />

Our sweet Parker Klein turned six-and-a-half this month! This guy is a sports loving, rule following, chess playing, bundle of energy. He's an old soul and a voracious reader, and is missing four front teeth! We celebrated his half birthday by heading out for a donut breakfast before school.<br />

So much has changed in the past half year. Parker kicked off the big six in March with a Harry Potter themed birthday party at a local bowling alley. We had just completed books one through three, and he was Harry Potter obsessed at the time. He requested a homemade Harry Potter chocolate chocolate cake with macarons - and my heavily pregnant self was happy to oblige.<br />

Just one month later, we welcomed Finn Edward and Parker became a big brother! Parker is our sensitive soul and was definitely worried about me heading to the hospital to give birth, but all the anxiety melted away when he walked in and met his brother.</div>

Parker wore his "Big Brother" outfit to the hospital and brought both a pink and a blue uniform shirt to wear to school that day. He, of course, changed into the blue when he walked in and saw that baby was a boy! We called in blue cupcakes from our favorite shop for Parker to share at school the next day.</div>

Those newborn weeks are such a blur to me, but so much happened. Parker finished his tee ball season, he performed <i>Give My Regards to Broadway</i> at his piano recital, and he participated in his first chess tournament, beating everyone in his grade level to be the kindergarten champion!</div>

He's had a busy start to the school year with chess, swim lessons, piano, and soccer. We made our chalkboard wall into a calendar just to keep everything straight! Although these were all activities he chose to participate in, I know he's happy to have some of them ending to get more "free days" back. </div>

This past half a year has been a game changer for Parker. His whole world was turned upside down when Finn was born, and while I know Parker loves being a big brother, it was a big adjustment. Everything we had promised him about the new baby ended up being wrong... we said the baby would sleep a lot - wrong! We said its cry would be tiny and quiet at first - wrong! Parker went from being our one and only to having to share our attention, and while this is overall good and healthy, it's definitely been a change. He'll always be our first born, though. And as he likes to remind me, he's the one who made me a mama.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I joined a book club! When I was first asked to join, I almost immediately declined because life has been so full since Finn arrived (and sleep has been so minimal). I mean, when was I going to read all these new books? And then I remembered the hours and hours of nursing time Finn and I put in, and realized that all I needed to do was prop up any book during a few feedings and I could knock it out in just a few days (fun fact - exclusively breastfed babes require the equivalent of a full time job's worth of hours over the course of a year of nursing). </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, I hosted for the month of September which meant I was also in charge of creating our discussion questions, which I was all about. Seriously, why have I not been part of a book club before? Our September book was </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525619240/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0525619240&linkCode=as2&tag=kldoco-20&linkId=081a82714ffecd2bdb6511fb05978066" target="_blank">Evvie Drake Starts Over</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=kldoco-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0525619240" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />. It's not a genre I usually gravitate toward <span style="font-family: inherit;">(it's a romantic comedy and I prefer the creepy psychological thrillers) but I still really enjoyed it and thought it was well written with depth that I wasn't expecting. Here's the Amazon synopsis:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>One morning, Eveleth 'Evvie' Drake got up, packed her suitcase, and got ready to leave her life - and her perfect husband - behind. But before she walked out of the door, she received a phone call asking her to come to the hospital. </i></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>That day, Evvie's new life as a widow began. </i></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Now wrestling with her guilt and grief, Evvie has found her independence, but not the way she planned. Unable to leave the house she once dreamed of escaping, it's clear to her best friend Andy that Evvie needs a change. And Andy might just have the answer. . .</i></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Dean Tenney was a big-shot baseball star, until a bad case of the 'yips' meant he couldn't play anymore - or understand why. An invitation from his childhood friend Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button.</i></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>When Dean moves into the apartment at the back of Evvie's house, the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's late husband, and Evvie won't ask about Dean's baseball career. But rules have a funny way of being broken sometimes, and as a friendship evolves into something more, will Evvie and Dean be brave enough to let go of the past and start over again?</i></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The book was Gilmore Girls meets Jerry Maguire - the dialogue makes it a delight to read, and the professional sports element adds an interesting twist. The author, Linda Holmes, is a pop culture commentator for NPR so the book also had tons of nods to media. </span></span><br />
<br />
If you want to play along, below are the questions I penned for our group to discuss. I won't include the responses because that would spoil the book for y'all, however I will offer up that my favorite answers for the actors to play the book characters were: a Hemsworth brother for Tim (they're interchangeable, no?), John Oliver for Andy, Zoe Deschanel for Evvie, and Bradley Cooper for Dean. And I'd totally go see that movie. Happy reading!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. What actors would you cast in a film version of <i class="">Evvie Drake Starts Over</i>?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. How did Evvie change over the course of the book?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Did you think Dean was going to pitch again professionally?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br class="" /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Was the friendship between Andy and Evvie realistic? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. </span>The novel is labeled as a “feel good read” but at the same time, it covers loss, failure, emotional abuse, death, and grief. Do you agree with the “feel good” label?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Holmes made the book’s dialogue shine with clever and witty banter. What was your favorite conversation?</span><br />

It's been a third of a year with our Finn Edward! He's continuing to trend tall, coming in at the 90th percentile for hight (26.5 inches) and 50th for weight (15 lbs. 13 oz.). The doctor used the words "big" and "strong" 😊 Finn is wearing size 6-9 month clothing and is barely still in size 2 diapers. New this month: we're rolling back to front and front to back! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sleep and overall screaming has improved so much - there was a time when, if he was awake, he was screaming 😳 Now we're getting giggles and smiles, though he's still super high maintenance and so not a napper (we'll get a few decent 1-2 hour naps a week and that's it). He's also still waking up at least twice a night to eat (which means Mama is still hot mess express, Dada does much better with no sleep, ha ha). </div>

Dislikes include: carseats, sneezes, blenders, sleeping, diaper changes, the Starbucks drive-thru, and getting out of the bathtub. Remember? High maintenance? All of these things elicit all the tears.<br />

My favorite little Finn moments are when he's waking up and he stretches his arms way, way up (and sometimes his legs, too.) It just melts my mama heart. Finn found his voice this month - we says he sounds like a pterodactyl (or, you know, what we imagine a pterodactyl would sound like). </div>

Finn's also become a drool machine, which I think means he's teething? He seems way too young for this, but all of a sudden he's all about chewing on everything so Sophie has become his new best bud.<br />
