Hello

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I last blogged. Hello everyone (all 10 of you or so that read our blog :) ). Hope everyone is doing well. We have just been busy chasing our little one around the house as he is getting more and more mobile and into drawers, the dogs water bowl, and all sorts of other fun stuff. Not a whole lot new going on here. Cale did learn on Wednesday that he could pick up smaller pieces of food with his thumb and finger! He has been able to pick up bigger pieces, but has not been able to figure out how to pick up the smaller pieces. Boy does he have it down now! Way to go little man. Jeff has been busy working on the Day 3 Productions website for his new company that's starting. We are very excited. We'll let you know when it's up and running. God has really been working in my husbands life a lot lately and we are both excited to see where he takes this company and what opportunities lie ahead! Way to go Jeff, I am so proud of you and love you so much.

That's right folks, we have a......

CRAWLER!!! Cale crawled for the first time tonight on different occasions. Watch out world here he comes. Guess we better quit procrastinating on babyproofing the house!

9 months

Can you believe it-Cale turned 9 months yesterday. He had his 9 month checkup and is doing great! Little man-this post is for you:

Cale,
Do you know how much joy you continue to bring me and your daddy. I truly am amazed by God's gift of you to us and praise him and thank him for allowing us to be your earthly parents. It is an honor and a joy to have you as our son!

I love your smiles, your giggles, the way you scoot backwards, how you haven't quite figured out crawling yet, but still try, the way you can sit up now, how curious you are about the world around you, the way you chew your food, how you love to push buttons on toys, hearing your little talks on the monitor when you wake up in the morning, splash time in the bath, going on runs and walks with you and seeing your little feet kick in the stroller, your two bottom teeth, your chunky thighs, how big your eyes get when you get excited, rocking you to sleep, singing to you, watching you play with your daddy, watching you grab the puppies paws, and coming home to your huge smile at the end of a work day. Little man, I just love everything about you and can't wait to see you as you continue to grow and to see how God uses you in this life and what He does through your life.

love your proud, blessed mommy

Bath time!

I know the little duck says HOT at the bottom-but honestly the water is not hot-it seems to come up as hot no matter how warm or lukewarm you get the water.
