Yeah!! Finally!!!

(Lots of pictures and a little note at the end)

So here's a quick run down of what's been going on with us, well the baby mostly :)

7 month picture with Snoopy (notice the Snoopy shirt he's wearing!)

First time in his new high chair! He loves every type of baby food, which is soooo nice. He's not picky at all, as long as you keep it coming. He even slaps his hand on the tray to remind you he needs more :)

Easter Sunday! We celebrated Easter on Friday since my mom and two brothers were in town. So my sister and her husband came down after work and we had a nice Easter dinner together. It was fun. But we were very sad to see them leave. We spiked his hair for the first time on Sunday. It's hard to tell though in the picture because he doesn't have a lot of it, and his hair is lighter so it doesn't show up as well. He looks so grown up in this outfit. Where's my baby gone??? I love every new stage of life for him, but I miss all of the old ones too...

He now pulls himself up into the standing position and walks around the ottoman. Just about every time he wakes up from his naps or first thing in the morning, we find him standing up in his crib (chewing on the rail with his new bottom teeth) waiting for us to come and get him.

8 month picture. I told him to get Snoopy, and this is what he did. I wish I had video taped it too, so you could hear him growling at Snoopy while he slobbered all over him. I was laughing sooo hard!!!

Getting to enjoy some sun, finally. He absolutely loves to be outside, and I am trying to let him enjoy it every chance I get. We tried out the swings by our house a week or so ago and he just squealed the whole time with delight. He had so much fun, in case you couldn't tell :)

He wouldn't leave his sunglasses on very long, but we are trying to get him used to them since he looks so studly in them. What a handsome guy! He's one cool dude!!

The last couple of weeks have been a little busier for me because I am now the Treasurer of our HOA, and since we are taking over the HOA from the builders that means a lot of work for us. I've also been helping out the district with some math stuff, which keeps me busy, but I get paid for it, so I can't complain.

I signed up for a mom and tot swim class at the AF rec center, for the first week of June. I'm excited to have something to look forward too, plus the baby loves taking baths and showers so I think/hope it will be a lot of fun for him. I want him to be used to the water so we can go swimming frequently this summer (gotta enjoy the summer since I spent last summer pregnant and afraid of seeing my old students in a bathing suit-he he!) and every future summer.

This Friday I met up with some old college roommates and we went to dinner and a movie. It was so much fun to catch up and see them again. We were just missing one roommate, missed ya Erin! Dinner was delicious--you can never go wrong with CPK, but the movie was awful. Heads up, don't go see, "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" we ended up walking out of it (along with about 15-20+ people) it was just really trashy, but luckily they gave us a refund on our money. So we went and got some yummy ice cream and talked some more till it was getting late and we had to get back to families. I really hope this is a tradition we can continue in the years to come. I loved living with those girls and it is so much fun to get together and reminiss about the old times, and learn about the new and upcoming things in each others lives as well.

So overall it's been a busy, but fun week. I just hope it doesn't rain too much this week, so I can get outside some more.
