The video speaks for itself.

Can you believe this is the kid that couldn't do anything at 6 months old. By that I mean he couldn't hardly even hold his head up, wasn't pushing up on his stomach, nothing! Here we are and have just hit the ten month mark two days ago. He has been very mobile the past few weeks with rolling or moving backwards to get things but today....just this morning....he crawled. Then I took that object away and laid it in the floor again and he crawled again....even further. Right now I keep having to stop this post b/c the kid is just crawling everywhere and obviously I wasn't totally prepared for this and he keeps getting things he isn't suppose to have. Hmmmm.....do you think I should believe the dr.'s when they say he probably won't even walk until he is 18 months old or later? Good thing they didn't tell Tegan he would be so behind on things....b/c he wouldn't have listened! Rylee started crawling around 10 months old so he is right on target with her. In other news the kid just got three teeth at one time so we had a rough week last week. Hopefully things are looking up for him b/c those teeth were causing him some serious pain. Poor little man! Rylee went out on the jet ski for the first time ever yesterday and loved it. Of course I had my camera but it was in a bag in the car so I missed taking pictures of us at the lake once again. We have been two Saturdays in a row now and had lots of fun. Rylee loves the water now and gets in (with floaties) and goes all over the place. I promise to actually use my camera next time.
Getting Ready for the lake!


Rylee got her hair cut! It was a big deal for this little Hannah Montana to get her hair cut without Hannah doing it too.

Big Boy Bath

Tegan has finally moved out of the beloved ducky tub and into taking a bath in a regular bathtub. With no seat! He does really great although the first few times he acted as if he was scared to move but now he keeps trying to pull himself up on the side of the tub. He gets mad at me when I have to tell him no not to touch Rylee's bath stuff, he sticks out his lip and his chin begins to quiver. It's so cute.

Why skinny people get fat....

Recently while shopping at our new huge Ingles I came across a great new dessert. This ingles has added so many new and different things that you can't get out of there cheap. While debating on some ice cream, I turned to the other side of the frozen isle and noticed these cheesecake bites. Now I LOVE cheesecake but can't eat a whole lot at one time b/c of how rich it is, so I thought these bites would be perfect. Well I was right. They are these great bites that stay in the freezer but don't get frozen solid. They are the best things ever made. I look for excuses to walk in the kitchen now. Hmmm...let me go check the laundry and while I'm there I should check on those cheesecake bites! I probably shouldn't buy anymore for fear I may increase my waist size two fold.


So I don't know if you have a schlotzky's in your area or not but they have great sandwiches. But what is even better is their jalapeno chips. Now our new Ingles is also selling these in bigger bag sizes. I start eating them and can not stop. Unfortunately for me, Paul tasted them for the first time and practically ate all of them but don't worry...I will hide them the next time.

I'm not the best eater in the world and lately I have gotten worse b/c when I grocery shop I am buying lots of quick and easy things and a WHOLE LOT of snacks. Maybe I will work on that or maybe I will just wait and make it my New Years resolution!

Growing up

This past week I got one more reminder that my little girl is growing up on me. A friend from her old preschool wanted her to come spend the night. Now Rylee has stayed away from home lots before with relatives but never with just a friend. Let me be clear though that we know these people and they let their little girl spend her first night away with a friend with Rylee.(Did that make sense?) I hated to let her go but I know she had to do it sooner or later. The mom was suppose to be here at 4:00 but was running a little late and didn't get her until after 5:00 which was fine with me but not with little Miss Prissy. The following pictures are how I found her at 3:30 and she impatiently waited until 4:40 when she gave up hope. I guess an hour and ten minutes is a long time for her!

Who wants Pancakes?

Tegan does! Yummy!

This boy has got to be the cutest ever! He may have some eye issues but he knows just how to look at you with those eyes to melt you. Just like the way he is looking in this video before you press play! Love him so much!

Jumping in

It's over...

Finally! After two long weeks of swimming lessons she is finally done. $120 later...she still can't swim on her own but she isn't as afraid of the water as last year and that makes it well worth the money and the time. She has always been terrified of the water...mostly pool water...but now she will go all over in the shallow end, she will put her head under water and jump in off the side or a diving board. But she wants someone waiting to be there when her head pops up out of water. She has learned what to do to be able to swim but she just wants someone with their arm under her to help her out or more for security reasons. She was ready for them to be over and I agree b/c it was really messing up my schedule. I will probably sign her up again next year b/c there were some kids in her class that this was there second year and this time they were use to it and by the end of the two weeks they could jump off the diving board and swim all the way across the pool.
