On the move...

           
Life has been busy around here lately... Chad just got back from helping his Grandma move last weekend, his Aunt Nancy is moving sometime soon too... and we are moving this coming weekend! Lucky our move is just local. We bought our first house so we are excited about that. :) Andrew has been keeping us busy too. It seems like he has grown up so much since my last post from a few weeks ago. As of today, he has FIVE teeth -- three on the bottom and two on the top. That might change by tomorrow at the rate he is getting teeth in! He stopped using his pacifier (thanks, Kim!), "talks" all of the time now, wants to eat whatever we are eating for supper (even though he doesn't always get to!), is starting to eat some finger foods, and is trying to figure out how to crawl! He gets up on all fours and rocks, can't figure out what to do from there, then flops down and scoots on his stomach to get to wherever he wants to go. It is really cute! We think if it were up to him he would just skip the whole crawling stage and take off running because he'll take off running as long as we are holding his hands. I got to spend most of last weekend with him again since Chad was out of town and he was such a sweetheart (well, minus the whole "I don't wanna take a nap!" saga). He is so happy and loves life so much and gets so excited about everything. It is just amazing to watch him grow up... even though it seems like it is happening SO fast!

My Saturday with Mommy



Chad was out of town Friday night and all day Saturday at a Promise Keepers convention, so Andrew and I had most of the weekend to ourselves. We didn't do too much... we visited with Aunt Nancy and Debbie when I went to pick him up after work on Friday and we spent the rest of the weekend playing and cleaning the house. It was nice to spend a weekend at home for a change... we are usually running around doing shopping or running errands even if we are in town. And it was extra-nice to get to spend so much one-on-one time with Andrew! And he was extra-sweet this weekend too and really happy (as you can tell from the pics!). And, yes, that is a tooth peeking out... it's been coming in for a couple of weeks but it is finally through enough you can really see it! Oh... and Andrew was really happy to see his Daddy when he woke up this morning too! :)

CHEESE!!! If you click on the picture to make it bigger you can see my tooth!

Loving my bouncer!
