Hi there, Family & Friends! I've been working on getting some pictures posted here & fixing up a few posts where the pictures are gone! (don't know what happened there!) So bear with me as I'm keeping house. Jeri got a couple good shots of David's first tooth, along with our latest project, trapped in her SD card. It's formatted differently, so they won't copy to my computer or camera.. dangit!
On to some exciting updates.. you already know that our baby boy is growing up so quickly before our eyes, as you all warned us would happen. It's fun getting to know his charming little personality even better! He's been brave with his top teeth coming in.. while fighting a cold. And the icing on the cake is that I had oral surgery today to remove my 2 wisdom teeth (I only had 2!). Because of the drugs, I can't nurse him for a couple of days, so he gets his second choice, mom in a bottle.
Many of you already know this, but we're buying a house! YAY! We found a fantastic deal on a home that was way more than we imagined finding for a first home. Here are the details:
2 year old home in Ridgefield, WA, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 2 level, 2075 square feet, 2 car garage, small yard - but hey there's a yard! (& a park just down the street in the middle of the neighborhood!). It's really a nice house & we're excited to make it our home! Our inspection is tomorrow & we'll keep things updated here on the blog!
I'm also working on updating a blogroll on our sidebar for the family & friends sites we visit. If you aren't listed, have no fear.. this is a slow process. But feel free to comment on this post & leave a link to make sure yours is listed!
Auf Wiedersehen!
This picture was taken in 2006, when Jamin & I visited California in the summer. It's from a roll of film I recently discovered & sent in to be developed (thus, the not so great picture quality). This is the Sacramento, California temple. It's so beautiful inside & out! This was before it was dedicated that September. We went to check it out & just walk the grounds. It is literally 10 minutes or less from the home I lived in while I was in high school.. Such a special place!
A week ago Monday, David & I had the opportunity to hang out with Jeri. David especially enjoyed this day with Grandma, because she bought him a new toy! We tested it out in the store & it was David approved! This fun exersaucer is stationary with a seat that rotates around to all the neat toys! Now David can be in a safe place while we're in the kitchen or sewing room at Grandma's. He picked up on these toyes really quickly, learning how each one responds. He especially likes tugging on the toys (on the bar behind him in the pic) & seeing the lights above blink & hearing music play!
David's buddy, Tyson, was over late last week & he gets a kick out of hanging out with David in David's crib. David got a kick out of it too! They were both squealing & laughing. Now that David's on the move, I think Tyson gets that he's a little person that he can play with. We just have to remind him that David is still little, and one day will get back at Tyson for knocking him on the head occasionally. They were kissing one another on the forehead & passing toys back & forth. The boys really seem to enjoy each other alot & that is great since their Moms like to hang out with each other a lot too! ;)
chair tray right after a meal. Who doesn't love a hungry baby & a nasty, sticky food tray?
David seemed to enjoy helping Daddy get his chair put together. He was also a little confused with being able to see his shoe under the clear tray, but not able to grab it. Oh the fun of watching our little guy learn about the world around him!
Sending love to all of you since the spirit of Valentine's day shouldn't be reserved for just February 14th! ;)
