Book Love

Michael likes to read XKCD comics. (See http://xkcd.com/) Obviously he has a more highly evolved sense of humor than me. If you have never heard of these, you are probably safe from nerddom. If you have, then no explanation is needed. Oftentimes they are far over my head because I am not privy to inside jokes about LISP and Python. When I do get them, they can be pretty freaking funny, though. I must admit the guy who writes them is a genius. I now know the truth about myself. I am a nerd, through and through, because this is me. Totally and completely me.

Cub's first Halloween and a Happy Birthday to me

On Halloween we had a party with our families to jointly celebrate Cub's first Halloween and my 23rd birthday (which was the day after Halloween). Caleb was a fearsome dragon, and I was Alice in Wonderland. I made both of our costumes on my new sewing machine, and they turned out pretty great if I do say so myself.

Notice Veggie Tales on in the background. Caleb is really into Veggie Tales

Even dragons get kisses from their mommies
I want that camera!

I got quite spoiled with presents, too! Thanks everyone! The morning after, on my actual birthday, Michael completely surprised me with an overnight getaway. My parents picked up Caleb, and we went out shopping then to dinner at the restaurant of my choice (Outback, complete with cheesy fries) and then to the Red Lion for the night, where he completely pampered me. I have the best husband! It was definitely the best Halloween/birthday combo I've ever had.

So big!

Caleb is nine months old now, and I can't believe how big he is! It's gone by so fast. He has become such a little boy. He's so stubborn (like his Mama), and he's becoming independent, or thinks he is anyway. He says Dada now. He has a tooth and can clap his hands. He's decided crawling is dumb and won't do it. He prefers standing, so we think he's just going to go straight to walking.

He can hold books by himself and turn the pages


And eat them

He loves his jumper. Sometimes he jumps himself sleepy.

He went on his first trip out of state. Here he is at In and Out Burger in Las Vegas with Grandma.

We just love our little boy so much, and we feel so blessed to have him in our life. He's always making us laugh. He gives the best hugs and cuddles. He's happiest when he can hang out and just have his Mama and Daddy to himself. He is the happiest baby in the world. I love being a mommy!

I Can Do It All By Myself, Mama!

Caleb has recently decided he is big enough to feed himself. If I even try he will turn his head and shove the spoon away. So independence it is. He is pretty good at getting the spoon into his mouth, the problem is getting food onto the spoon. He loves trying to scoop food out of the bowl, but has yet to figure out that spoons are not flat, or that things spill. But the look of absolute concentration on his face is hilarious! He tries so hard. Watching him learn to do something for himself is so wonderful and so frustrating. It's hard to not just reach out and do it for him! Every time he gets it right we clap and he gets a huge smile and looks so proud of himself. As you can see, though, he gets most of it on himself and the highchair.

Pure Fun

Saturday I saw the movie Mamma Mia with my mom. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun in a movie. I laughed so hard I cried! It didn't matter if everything wasn't perfect or if someone hit a note wrong, because you could tell that the actors had so much fun making the movie that you couldn't help but enjoy it too! Some favorite parts: the men in blue sequined jumpsuits, the flipper dance, the Does Your Mother Know? song, and of course Dancing Queen. I highly recommend seeing this for a girls night out or if you just need some cheering up. It was pretty great.

We made it!

We made it to our new house in Daybreak in South Jordan! It is gorgeous and we love it. We are still unpacking, but as soon as everything is put together and pretty I'll post some pictures. Here's one of the front porch for now. Just wanted everyone to know we're still alive!
