February 5, 2009


Some photos from January. Trying out the backpack carrier.


The boys giving a puppet show.


Haven trying Puffs for the 1st Time


Couldn't even stay awake to finish lunch.


Showing off her teeth.


Dear Friends and Family,

It's been about a month again and time to post. Haven is doing great. She'll be 8 months next Wednesday. Time is flying. She's showing off her first 2 teeth a lot with lots of smiles. She's eating puffs (Gerber banana puffs), she's still rolling everywhere, spinning in a circle on the ground (on her tummy), getting stronger at sitting (still isn't too, fond of it--hence the problem of learning the skill), and is starting to combine the inch worm and army crawl methods to get moving even more. She's jabbering away and some of it even sounds like "Mama" and "Dada". We keep telling the boys that "no, she hasn't said her first word yet," as they come running to us all the time with a report, "but soon." I'll attach some pics if blogger cooperates.

It has been a rougher week here in our household. Mike and Shae had food poisoning (best guess) or some really nasty tummy bug for most of the week that has left us pretty weak. Mike's been fighting the cold type flu all at the same time. It makes us all the more thankful for the good health everyone has enjoyed most of the rest of the winter. We need to make a quick recovery before Mike starts on-call week on Monday.

We're also very sad today. Some friends of ours from church are pregnant with twins and lost one of the baby girls today. Allie is in heaven and the other baby girl is struggling. If you could remember Chad and Jessica and their remaining baby in your prayers we'd be grateful. They're up at Mayo Clinic.

Hello! I'm sorry we haven't commented on your blog yet. We've been checking it out regularly though:) I can't believe how big Haven is getting and that she has two teeth and is changing so much. It's crazy how fast they change. She is so cute! Alexa is doing really well. She is trying to walk. She will take about 3 or 4 steps before she drops to her knees. It's so hard to believe but her 1st Birthday is in a couple of weeks. We are so not ready for that. We'll try to post more pictures and updates soon on our blog. We are so bad about updating it:) We are glad all is going well and we'll talk to you later:)
