Holy Time Warp, Batman!

John's 6 1/2 months already, and have we been busy!! I just got an e-mail from babycenter that warned that my baby would be turning over by now, so I should be ready. Whatever!

John's been busy getting ready to walk...he's pulling himself up and standing at every opportunity, crawling like crazy, ready to pop out his second pair of teeth, exploring his world and play with anything he finds within his reach...especially if it is paper or an electrical cord. We have a great time rolling around on the floor, and when I need to be extra busy, he enjoys standing and chewing on the top rail of his pack 'n' play (Thanks again, Walt and Kim!)

Here are some more pictures of his antics over the last while:

This was taken at the mall in Kalispell. John and Jason came up with me while I had a booth at their Baby Fair to sell my toys. John and I hung out while Jason ran errands and came back to check on us. While I was taking down the booth at the end of the day, John started getting fussy, so Jason, like the Superdad he is, whipped out a bottle and fed our little man. What a guy!

This was taken awhile ago, but is just so cute, I had to include it. He's my Mini Cooper!! (Thanks for the adorable shirt, Carmin!)

My grandma came up to visit...John loved it!

Swing Baby

John had such a good time trying out a friend's swing.

I didn't post the video...what was I thinking in even taking it?!? Made me a bit queezy watching it. You'll have to settle on John's big smile (which is so brilliant it is impossible to feel like one is just settling...but I'm biased). It is so much fun watching his world expand.



Coming very soon...crawling!



[That sound? Oh, that's my knees knocking together. I'm not ready for infant mobility!]

My guys

Jason is on a fire in California right now, but I realized that I haven't posted many pictures of my good lookin' husband. Well, today I'm not just going to show you one handsome guy, but, get this....if you look at this picture in the next fifteen minutes, I'll throw in an extra (albeit shorter) tall drink of water. That's right folks, that's how convinced I am that this is something you're going to love as much as I do (well, maybe almost as much).

Remember, this is a limited time offer. Look today...don't delay!

Check out this blog!!

In a moment of complete randomness, I stumbled upon this blog. This family from Walla Walla, WA, is biking across the US (WITH kids!!)

How cool is that?!?!!! They update daily or so. Join me in following their progress! Talk about a great experience to share as a family. The kids seem like they're having a ball.

"Take that back, mister!!

I'm small, but can whip your diapered fanny faster than a flying nunchuck at a geek rally!"
