Opening the first present

New Jobs!

I'm a little late with this regarding Jeff's new job. He started 3 weeks ago! He is now the Warehouse Coordinator with Cameron and works about 55 hours a week and almost NO weekends. Yay! WE love this new job!
My new job starts Monday! It happened really fast, I just got the offer last Wednesday and my last day was yesterday, so 2 days notice did not make me the most popular person... but it was an offer I just couldn't refuse! I get to work for 1 week and then get 2 weeks of paid vacation for Christmas!
I'm going back to my old High School! I still can't really believe it. I will be working with Communities in Schools at King High School. I was sad to leave my old job, I really enjoyed the work I was doing, but I am super pumped about getting 9 weeks of paid vacation to spend with my little boy! That was really the motivating factor behind getting a new job. So, that's what's new with us. What is new with H? How about 6 teeth!? He is doubling his current teeth and is not thrilled about it.


Look what a happy guy he is!

Haircut!

H got his first haircut today! He did pretty good. He wasn't happy about it, but there was no crying so I count it a success!


here's the before




The After Shot!


What a handsome little man!

And here's my after shot

H's first birthday!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating H's first birthday! Aunt Elyse and Papa Bill came to the party and couldn't believe how big our 'baby' is. I think he is now toddler material....woah! Here are some pics of the weekend!


Opening presents! He was so excited about this toy - Thanks Agi!


The morning of his party - this kid cracks me up!


H's "ice cream" cakes

Here's a close up of one of them



H eating his cupcake... ummm.. he wasn't that interested...


H's friend B, pushing him around on his new Thomas the Train toy! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!! These boys sure had fun playing together, it was so cute!


Thanks for coming to see me Aunt Elyse, I love you!


Thanks for coming to see me Papa Bill and thank you for my birthday presents Jo Jo & Papa Bill!

It was a really fun weekend celebrating our 1 year old blessing!

Internet!!!

We finally got internet at our house, so I will try to be more in the loop now. H had a great first Halloween, he was a little lamb and we went to our church's Noah's Ark Party.




Isn't that the sweetest lamb you've ever seen?!

I can't believe my little H is almost 1 year old! Friday is his first birthday and I'm so excited because my dad and sister are coming to help us celebrate! H is getting pretty good at walking (even though his nickname at day care is 'clumsy'). He has also started to point at things and knows where things go. Yesterday, he was pulling clothes off of his shelves and putting them in the dirty clothes basket. He also took a bath tonight while drinking from his his sippy cup the entire time - he is so funny! It has been such an amazing year and I feel so blessed to get to be H's mom. He is pretty incredible. Enjoy the video below of him playing with Daddy last night. It is pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen.

He's Walking!

Well... I'd love to post some pictures of the excitement that has been going down - but, I seem to have misplaced my camera cord in the move. So, more motivation to finish unpacking...

We finally moved a couple weeks ago. Pictures to come (hopefully). Jeff has had 1 day off in the last month. We have taken H to the doctor 8 times in the last 6 weeks - looks like we might be doing that again tomorrow. H is now 11 months old... where does the time go? He is taking about 4 steps at a time now and standing by himself for brief periods. He has also mastered 'ma ma', 'da da', 'ba ba' and 'eesh' ... I don't know what essh is though?

We also don't have internet yet... but hopefully before his birthday we will be back up and running! Happy Saturday!
