Real Baths

I'm so happy that the bathroom in our new place has a bathtub. Duane can take real baths and he loves them!

Reality Check

Angie, one of my friends, has three cute little children. We hang out with them quite a bit and it's been a real eye opener for Duane. He was shocked to find there were other children in the world at first. Now he rough houses with them as if they were his siblings. We're really lucky to have this reality check before we bring any more babies home.


Kaylie wanted to wear her hat for some reason that day. It was sunny and warm out, so it was kind of funny.

Aw . . . So precious.

Micheal is a little ham and wants to see himself on the camera all the time.

Cheese!

It's Raining, it's . . . Snowing?

On our way out of Wal-Mart, it started snowing like crazy. Duane's never been out it snow like that and he was fascinated by it. He kept trying to grab flakes out of the sky as we made our way to the van.

Celebration!

Another party to get down at!


Just so you know, my brother is being a big dork on purpose. LOL

Pastor and the baby enjoying the party!

Spunky was hoping for some birthday cake to fall on the floor.

We tried to get everyone in one shot . . .

Baby Report

Duane has been teething something awful these past few days. He had a fever and generally didn't want to do anything. I'm pleased to say that he's feeling much better now and has his two front teeth sticking out of the top of his gums. He's got the cutest smile.

To add to that, he's almost walking and is very much into cars lately. He pushes the toy jeep that we got him all around our new apartment and couldn't be any happier. He also has learned to wave 'bye bye' and loves to do so when anyone leaves. Another thing that Duane is very proud of (me too, of course) is clapping. He's found that anytime he does something remotely cute, he can turn and clap and everyone will automatically join in.

These are some pictures that I took with our camcorder. I know they're a little blurry, but I can never find the digital camera when I want it!

Duane's Teddy Bear

This is the bear that Duane hugs when he goes to sleep. It sings abc and other such songs. It's so cute how the baby loves it.

Moved!

We did it again, we packed everything up and moved to a new place. At least this time it was just a few blocks away as opposed to 50+ miles. We loaded up the van no more than ten times and moved all our junk.


We mad sure to pack the baby first. We didn't want to forget the most important thing!

Now we are in our new place and almost all settled in! Yay!

Duane's New Highchair

Pastor and I finally buckled down and bought the baby a highchair. He's needed one for quite some time too! He's such a good eater that he wants to handle the food himself. Enough of mommy's help! Now he has his own royal throne where food is brought to him. Ha ha!
