Back to School!

Hello all,

Sorry I was unable to make it to the Munch, as most of you know, I have been working at Splashtown water park this summer as a lifeguard, and the technology liaison for summer school, so I've been rather busy.

Well believe it or not two years ago I ventured down to Houston, TX to start my teaching career!! I can't believe how quickly the time has flown and that I'll be a third year teacher this fall!! I am very excited as I have several new challenges ahead of me this fall. My class load changes a little and I will be teaching Algebra I this year along with pre-Algebra. Outside of the classroom I will be the assistant coach for our 7th grade football team, responsible for all instructional technology, and driving a school whenever possible!!

I hope everyone has had a great summer and I look forward to seeing you guys around Christmas!! My parents are headed down to Texas around August the 12th and I'll be sure to post some pictures of their visit.

Take care!

These days I'm cruising the furniture and am walking with the help of my dump truck that is supposed to help me walk. (I think it's working.) I'm even pretty good at climbing the stairs.

I know my name but don't necessarily stop doing things when asked. I usually just turn and look at whomever is speaking to me and smile.

I'm still an awesome sleeper sleeping about 11 hours/night and take a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon.

I'm experiencing more and more big people food and think most of it is quite tasty. It's getting easier to chew too since now I have 4 teeth! I'm also doing very well feeding myself. My sippy and I are still working on our relationship, but Mommy sees our potential.

We've been doing a lot of playing outside and now I'm no longer afraid to crawl in the grass. My favorite pass times are swinging and going in the sprinkler pool.

11 is...

the number of months old I am today!

I'm really busy so I'll write more later...

Super 10!

Today I'm 10 months old! Lately, I have been obsessed with my feet! I can't get enough of them and I absolutely love to eat my toes. I also thoroughly enjoy touching other people's faces. They are all relatively the same, and yet so different.

I'm crawling around like mad and continue to pull myself up on everything. I even like to walk some with the assistance of a grownup.

I'm still drinking 4 times daily and eating 2 meals. I'm starting to try all sorts of big people food and am doing quite well chewing it up. Some of my faves include strawberries, egg yolk, potato, green pepper, pancake and crackers. I am on to a new sippy cup and now understand that if I suck on it...liquid comes out!

I'm maintaining my chill disposition, although I really didn't want to sit still for today's photo shoot. Overall, I'm a sweet, handsome, and cuddly little man.

It's Munch Time!

Come one. come all! Saturday, July 2nd

This year we will take a detour to my house so you can see the new pad. Plan on arriving between 12:30 - 1pm. I'll serve a few munchies to hold us over until we head north to the munch.

See you then!

9 is fine

Today I've been out as long as I was in. ;)

Things truly are fine except that I have my first real cold. I'm taking motrin for my fever and my nose is running like a faucet. We even had to miss Sibling Gym today. Thankfully, Evelyn has already forgiven me.

I'm a crawling maniac and can even pull myself up on almost anything so I can stand.

I have 2 teeth now and am drooling like crazy so more are on their way.

I still drink 4 times a day and eat cereal twice with a fruit or veggie. I have tried yogurt and have fallen absolutely in love with it. I can feed myself puffs too! My sippy cup and I are getting acquainted with milk and water in it, but, at this point, I'm not a huge fan. (keep trying Mommy)

My vocabulary consists of gaga, baba, & dada and do not relate to anything. One day...

I love playing on our new swing set and going for rides in the bike trailer and I never get bored looking at the fish tank.

Spring semester

Spring semester is officially finished! I really enjoyed my first year of college and all the new friends I made along the way. Here of some pictures of Berry: the dairy, the reservior, the old mill and just some fun pictures through out the semester.
