Standing & Sitting


Shaden is learning so much so FAST!  At the beginning of last week Shaden would only roll to get around, but on Friday he suddenly decided to crawl.  He still isn't very good at it and most of the time forgets that he has to move his arms and ends up face planting it.  :)  It's pretty cute to see.  I hope we can catch it on video before he gets too good.
Then while at my parent's house for the weekend we had to give him a bath.  I guess I wasn't quick enough with getting him into the tub, because I turn to stop the water and Shaden grabbed the tub and stood up.  I was shocked!  Then he let go and felt back.  I nearly had a panic attack.  My heart was racing.  I picked him up trying to comfort him, but all he wanted was to be in the tub.  Silly little guy.
On Monday I put Shaden in his crib for a nap, but he didn't want that.  He stood up in the crib, then forgot to hold on and fell back and hit his head on the side of the crib.  You know, they say you shouldn't have bumpers in the crib, but I'm really glad we have one.  It softened the blow.
  
Last night while fixing dinner, Chris was playing with Shaden and having Shaden crawl to him.  It was really cute.  After a bit Shaden decided he was done crawling and sat up.  That was the first time he has ever got to a sitting position by himself.  Yay!
He is amazing!

Self Feeding

Shaden is such a good muncher and has gotten pretty good at feeding himself.  Its still a bit messy but it sure is fun to watch.  He has two teeth now and loves to eat!

Apple Care

Let me just take a moment to say, "I LOVE APPLE CARE!"  
Yes, it did cost a little extra to get but we have gotten our money's worth and then some.
We bought Chris a MacBook Pro over about a year and a half ago.  Since then we have replaced the graphics card, the monitor part of the laptop, the battery, the charger, and they had to reset the system (I think).  All of these things were replaced without cost to us and in a pretty timely manner.  Yay!

Resemblances in Disney Movies

My brother-in-law Jonathan finds the craziest 
things online.  
Check out this movie clip!  
Notice the resemblances in the Disney Movies.  
Its so funny to see how they just copy parts.  
I love Disney, so I don't care if they take a few shortcuts.
(The music is irrelevant.)

First Tooth

Shaden officially has his first tooth!  That is probably why he has been fussy with me.  He is already such a good muncher.  He loves to eat Ritz cracker and Gerber puffs.  He hasn't bitten me... yet anyway.  He hasn't let me take a picture of his tooth either so no pictures this time.

Watch "Pride and Prejudice" next time you're home sick

Any version of this movie is good. A wonderful love story. The A&E version is the best. Its about 6 hours long but has the full story.


I'm trying out this site that blogger suggested called plinky.com. They offer questions to answer and you can see how others have answered.  I figured if I was bored it might be fun and maybe a few I might post to my blog.

Happy Sink?

Yesterday afternoon Shaden was in a crabby mood.  Nothing I did seemed to help.  He whined and fussed and was just unhappy with me.  I finally gave up and just started to work on things around the house with a fussy baby.  I had to set him down in order to get the laundry started, so I sat him in the bathroom sink (our washer and dryer are in there).  Here is the result:    
                                 
Happy Baby!  There wasn't any water.  He was just happy.  I don't know what it was about sitting in the sink but hey I was happy too.
