For some moments in life, there are no words.

He's Mobile Now
It has been so fun to watch Jadeyn interact with the cats. He has loved them from about his second week of life. He would even refuse to go down for a nap if he could hear one of them purring nearby because he would want to watch them. Now he not only watches, but attacks, licks, hugs, tugs and pulls on them!

Computer Desk Project
Whew! What a project! We waited until the coldest week of the year to begin sanding and staining our new office furniture. We enjoyed doing our 5 piece bedroom set so much that we decided to go at it again. Jadeyn was a pretty good little boy sleeping through the sounds of the sander and air compressor at times or playing in his exersaucer in the garage while we worked. He still couldn't quite get why daddy was wearing a mask during the polyurethane part!
The desk turned out beautiful!
We even initiated it by setting up both computers and Kevin and I have been gaming after Jadeyn hits the hay.
On New Years we visited Kevin's brother and family and got me started again on World of Warcraft. We had all four computers going. Boy is it a lot more fun to quest with people I know instead of wandering around by myself! So our computer desk is serving its purpose!
Christmas 2008
Christmas truly is a special time of year and it is even more precious to be able to share it with our little boy! It was if he knew, at eight months old, that it was Christmas morning. His cheeks were even rosier than usual and he was absolutely happy and excited when we got him out of his crib. Up until this morning, he has stared at the Christmas tree, but hadn’t reached out or attacked it. Christmas morning he lunged for it every chance he got! The ornaments, the green branches, nothing was safe from his little grasp!
Opening presents was a delight as we expected. He tore up the wrapping paper, munched on the bows and ribbons, all to find out what was inside. We buried him in wrapping paper and laughed as he flapped all his appendages with delight as the paper rattled around him. Jadeyn loved opening his presents from his Grandmas and Grandpas and from Great Grandma Pete. He helped with our gifts as well of course. We thought it was sweet when daddy and son opened up their socks together. There’s even one of his gifts still under the tree that he doesn’t know about still waiting to have fun with!
Halfway through though, hunger hit. Jadeyn had to take a short break from the festivities to guzzle a quick bottle and then he was back at it! We had fun with our assortment of new movies, scrapbook stuff, beautiful National Parks book and National Park monopoly game, some camping stuff, new outfits for Jadeyn, etc.
What a great morning! And so special!
"We get to do this again next year!!!?!???!"
