Precipitation

You know the saying, When it rains, it pours? Well it's true. It rained a lot this weekend. I'd even say it poured. And now it's cold. I'm not panicking yet. But if it snows this month, we're moving. This is not a joke. We're very willing to move to a warmer climate.

In a less literal sense, it also poured at our house this week. Andrew did a lot of new things. He learned how to crawl (only took about a month to get his arms to move), learned the "ma" sound, which is only used when he's crying, tipped over a lot, and fell asleep in sacrament meeting for the FIRST TIME in his life. Here are some other milestones...

He learned to eat baby Cheetos...they're his favorite snack. It's funny how we go to the pool and the only thing he wants to do is snack. Swim diaper is completely useless.

He wore his first pair of shoes. He hates them, but they're really cute. Here's some advice to new moms. If you want your kid to wear shoes, you should probably get some before they're nine months old...Otherwise, you're gonna get a lot of resistance.

He learned to hide things behind the couch. He dropped his monkey back there and tried to reach him for about ten minutes.

Justin also did new things, like cleaning our carpets. He did this on his lunch hour (very nice husbie, I say). I love his Huckleberry look. Super classy.

And just so you know that I'm still part of the family...
