A day at Grandma & Grandpas House

Yesterday we went to visit Grammy & Grampy....we enjoyed time outside and playing with everyone too.

Here is Todd and Justin playing with Sprout...Justin sure loves Sprout....Grampy thinks we need a dog, but we really don't think so...



a close up...


We took a friend over with us and they had a Radio Flyer...so we some pictures, and Justin rode around in it...he loved it!

Sitting up like a big boy

Last night Todd and I were sitting in the computer room looking up stuff online while Justin was playing. And, for the first time, he sat up on his own, so we did our best to get him to do it again and catch it on video...here you go!

Another money saver

Recycle, recycle, recycle...a few months ago, we had to get a bigger trash can, then about a week later, our waste management company brought us a huge 50 gallon (i think) green bin for recycle. Since then, we have been really good about recycling just about everything we can...and have also gotten a smaller trash can for real trash...this has saved us about $20 per month...and we are saving our landfill too.

At work with Daddy

Justin has a shirt just like Daddy. I made it from one of Todd's old shirts...it is a onsie....so, before Justin grows out of it, we decided we best get a picture of our future shop boy :)

Here is the working Gang (Grandpa, Todd, Derek, and Justin).

We are back home

Well, we spent a week at home with Mom & Dad. My sister was able to come for a few days and Jim was able to come home after work almost every night. It was nice to spent time at home. We are already looking forward to our next visit with Papa and Grandma Paula. I didn't take any pictures while at home, seemed like every day just passed by so very quickly!

So, this picture was taken this morning as I was trying to get Justin to enjoy his crib. Last night he finally fell asleep in his own crib, and not in our room..it didn't last long, but at least it was a start...prior to this, he has been in his pack n play in our room.

If you look at this closely, you can see his two bottom teeth, we have had these for some time now.

This picture you can see his top two teeth...he has the 5th tooth as well and are now working on the 6th tooth - hoping is shows it's pearly whites so the teething and attachment and pain will subside for a while.

8 months old

Justin has started crawling...here is a video...it has been about 2 weeks now...just after we got home from our trip home. He is doing pretty well...he isn't all over the house yet, but he does move a bit




Last night we were all hanging out in the living room. Justin got this bear chair from Aunt Mary and he absolutely loves it. He sits there like a big boy....has only fallen off one - since mom was looking the other way.....don't you love the one sock on - one sock off....


Okay, Justin's 8 month old picture....with Teddy.
