BUNKO!

Wow! Who knew rolling a bunch of dice for two hours could be so much fun! Of course, a room full of teachers is NEVER boring! My sorority of women educators, Alpha Delta Kappa, played Bunko tonight for a fundraiser and it was great fun! Hopefully we'll do it again soon. Major bummer is I had so much energy afterwards and wanted to go out or at least come home and hang with the hubby but he went to bed way early tonight so here I sit, alone. :( Oh well! Go Bunko!

My son never ceases to amaze me! He is becoming more independent before my eyes and is almost walking. I am so proud of him and feel so blessed that God gave us such a wonderful gift. I have always wanted to be a mommy but could never have imagined what it would really be like. I sat in the rocking chair, as he ate his night-time bottle and found myself weeping with pure joy that he is my son and amazement that I could ever love another human being as much as I love him. It is an amazing love that God has given me the priveledge of feeling. Thank you Jesus for trusting me with this little life.

Blake has figured out how to bend over and pick things up without falling down. He loves these little trucks, planes, etc.

Trucks

Blake has discovered trucks and has already figured out that they make a sound. He pushes his trucks around blowing bubbles and making a really cute sound. I tried to capture it in a short video. Hopefully you can hear him.

VT rocks

We are at Tech for the weekend and I miss my son so much! However, it really is nice being here. I forgot how much I liked Blacksburg and I could totally see myself moving here! I wish I could convince my husband to move here. That would just be awesome! Anyone out there know hypnosis? Maybe that would work!

Finally went to the pros

Okay, so I know most moms get professional photos made like every three months! I guess that makes me a procrastinator because my son is 9 months old and we just went to the pros. It was totally worth the money. He is so precious!

My big boy is almost walking with "no hands"

Blake is very quickly learning to get around. He is a typical boy in that he is overly confident on his abilities and will pull up on things and then just let go as if he already knows how to walk. Then, of course, he tumbles down. Usually, he catches himself and lands softly but occassionally, he gets a bump to the head. Such a big boy.
