another two months....

i just got home from yet another airport goodbye. this visit was our last for another two months or so. Zach heads off to recruiting school in South Carolina for six weeks and then we begin another move to a new adventure... where ever that may be. hopefully i'll be reading a text early tomorrow morning on where we'll be living for the next two years... will it be Texas? Utah? SoCal? Gah! i'm so anxious! at this point i don't really care where we live, as long as we have our own house and we're together. our first choice is Texas though and we're really hoping for there. Zach has been talking to the guys in the Austin offices and they seem to like him and will hopefully help us get pulled over to that area, so our fingers are crossed. i'll be sad to be leaving the Northwest yet again but i can't wait to live with my husband and be a  complete family again!

11 months

uhm... what? since when did this happen?
i can't believe he'll be one next month, i thought it would take forever for that day to get here and now it's just around the corner.
 
here's a few highlights from the past month...
 
 
- about two weeks ago he started taking steps here and there... nowadays he's walking laps around the house none stop! it's still so wierd to me to see this little man walking! he's so big now!
- and of course while he's walking he must be holding onto one/two/three of his toys. lately it's been his toy cars {one in one hand and two in the other}
- he thinks the words 'no' and 'ouch' are funny no matter how sternly i say them. if i tell him no he'll just look at me smile and go right back to doing what i told him not to do. same with 'ouch', he'll just laugh at me. trouble.
- lately he has to through all or most of his toys out of his small toy boxes that are located around the house. it's so funny to see him head first in the bins and just tossing toys behind him. i guess the kid knows what he wants ;)
- every morning we watch Sesame Street, Cat in The Hat, and Super Why. whenever he hears the Super Why song he looks up smiling and starts dancing, love it.
- he has his eyes set on the cute waitress down at our local cafe. my family are pretty much regulars there for weekend breakfast so we usually have the same waitress everytime, bree. he lights up and smiles and watches her every move when he sees her. the other day he wasn't feeling so good and was pretty tired/grumpy but as soon as she came around it was all smiles and laughs. apparently he likes the older ladies
- he loves our dog lola more and more it seems like. he gets so excited in the mornings to see her and loves to "pet" her {aka pull on her fur :/ ... i'm working on teaching him gentle pets} she's such a good mama with him though and lets him pull and crawl on her, if she gets annoyed she doesn't growl she'll just "talk" at him and walk away. i'm so happy she's so patient with him.
- he's starting to eat from the kid's menu at restuarants {which i'm loving! less stuff to pack}. last night it was grilled cheese and broccoli and milk. it was his first time drinking through a straw as well.
 
things to come:
- his FIRST birthday party! we are doing 'Where the Wild Things Are' theme. i'm pretty excited about how it's all coming together. hopefully i'll be able to do a post of what i have done so far.
- and VERY exciting news... Zach will be able to make it for the party! he'll be here for two weeks and i couldn't be happier. so glad he'll be able to be a part of this big day.
 
cheers!

just another day...

with this rad kid.
don't mind the drooling... i think the 5th tooth is on it's way!







 
 
 
i'm making an effort to start taking more photos of him with my big girl camera... though camera phones are convenient they just aren't the same...
