Handsome Your Name Is Jed: Just Some Little Updates

Some Updates:

I'll try* to let the pictures do most of the talking...

*I know, I am often wordy... and rarely let anything else talk for me... at least when writing. Ha!

 We spent last Sunday OUTSIDE. I love winter... well, warm California winters anyways. Jed is 7 1/2 months. He's sitting great, loves to play and bang toys together, loves to talk baby, can roll well, can do a full 360 degree rotation on his tummy, shows no interest in trying to crawl, LOVES to stand, often gives me silent stiff legged-refusals to sit, and is already trying to pull himself up... I worry I will have an early walker who may just skip the crawling.

This is Gertie. She's my parent's dog. I finally introduced her and Jed. She is perhaps one of the dumbest dogs ever. She has had surgery 2 times to remove rocks from her stomach...that SHE ATE. But... I cried and pleaded with my parents to pay for the surgery. And you know, they didn't really need any convincing. I love this dog. They love this dog. My kids love this dog. Gertie doesn't just tolerate my active 3 year old, she loves her back. She may be may not be the sharpest dog out there, but she's loyal, loving and playful. She's an irreplaceable part of our family. And at almost 6 years old, she still has just as much energy as Addy. That's saying a lot!

 Enjoying the Sunshine!

 Sister, I love you. I adore you. But you really are silly sometimes.

Handsome your name is JED! I just want to cover that serious face in kisses and zerbils. Especially on that crinkled forehead right next to that beautiful cowlick. I am so thankful that God decided to part his hair for me :)

We found a Little Tikes slide at a thrift store for super cheap. Major win!

The current state my house is in... and has been in for 2 weeks. My excitement for this project has turned into... I AM SO READY TO GET THIS DONE ALREADY!

We love you THIS BIG!
