Standing



St. Patricks Day


Oh yes, we are standing on our own!

Growing Boy



Nicholas is almost 10 months old and he is so much fun! He crawls around very fast, pulls up on eveything and even opens drawers and cupboards and pulls things out. (Don't worry its baby safe stuff) Recently Nicholas has got brave enough to let go of the furniture and stand unassisted. Andrew is the dad that tells his son to "toughen up" whenever he falls or starts to cry over anything. I think Nicholas is tough because of the older kids he plays with everyday. He has to be tough to get what he wants.

We are so happy the snow is melting. We love getting out of the house and going for neighborhood walks. I have plenty of strollers to fit my needs. (I only purchased one, but I have four. A regular one that fit his infant seat and I keep in my car, a double stroller for when I take a daycare kid with us, an umbrella stroller that is in Andrew's car, and a jogging stroller that I do not jog with, just walk, but is really smooth!)

Baby in a Bubble Bath


Nicholas loves bathtime!!!!!!!!

Mr. Fix It



Andrew is home and I made sure to save the assembling of a few projects for him. He was excited to put together the wagon that he ordered for Nicholas (which he will not be getting until his birthday). He also couldn't wait to get Nicholas into the "big boy" car seat. (don't worry he is still rear facing).

Happy Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY



Even though I didn't spend this holiday with my sweetheart, my 8 month old son scored a date. I watched my friends daughter who is 3 months older than Nicholas. They play wonderfully together! I am happy that we have many friends around with young children to spend time with.

Nicholas All Around

Sick baby

Well, I feel horrible. What I thought was just teething and a cranky baby turned out to be a double ear infection (ear infection in both ears). Nicholas is now on an antibiotic and will hopefully, with a little tylenol, be sleeping better. I hate our pedatric dept. on base. I called on Monday, they said no appointments available for a couple days, they could send me to urgent care, which is downtown and I am sure the wait would be hours.....urg..... Then on Wednesday he was not wanting to take his bottle, threw up, and had low grade fever. When I called about an appointment, I could get in Thursday morning. I take what I can get and I know if I feel it's really bad to head to the ER. I miss my baby sleeping 11-12 hours at night.

Nicholas at the Fun Spot

January 2009


Andrew on Skype!*** I need to lower the crib height. *** Pulling himself up on everything now!

It sucked having Andrew gone for New Years, but other than that it was a great start to a new year. I spent New Year's Eve with my neighbors/good friends, the Rodgers Family. Rock band and yummy beverages, what a good mix!


Nicholas was 7 months old at the begining of the year, Andrew 23, and me 27. We have a lot to look forward to this year. I am excited for what is to come. Andrew will come home from his first deployment in late February. Andrew's Mom is coming from Ohio for a visit in March. The first week in April, Andrew and I are taking a 2 night/3 day trip to Orcas Island, leaving Nicholas with my parents. Easter weekend will bring family from the west side to our home. Memorial Day weekend in May we will celebrate Nicholas' 1st birthday with family on a camping trip to Hoodsport. July 2-12 we are heading to Ohio to meet my first niece or nephew. And the year will go on. Later in the year your might even hear news of a growing family from our home. ;)


The snow is still on the ground here in Spokane. I can't wait for spring!!!!!!!!!

***Happy New Year***

I really like reading blogs of my friends and family. I think it is a great way to see how everything is going in their lives. My new years resolution this year is to stay current, monthly, with our family blog. I need your help, please. If it seems like it has been too long since my last entry let me know about it. Thanks and Happy New Year. (Yeah I know it's half way through February, but I have been busy! :)
