July, 1st birthday

I can't believe what a slacker I've been. We have been pretty busy, but over a months is horrible!

Well, it's getting toward the end of July and close to Christopher's 1st birthday. It does NOT seem like it's been a year. He's so much fun right now. He's still got just those 2 middle bottom teeth, and he loves to play with them and see what thy do. He finally has a significant amount of hair on that little head, too. He's taking a couple of steps and seems pretty controlled balance-wise, but usually decides that crawling is a faster route. And he IS really fast on all fours. Except when he tries to hold things in both hands and go somewhere. He knows "nose" "ears" and sometimes "mouth". He LOVES "Patty-Cake" (some of the adults are getting pretty sick of it : ) ), and we've starting switching it up with "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" and "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree". He'll also throw up his hands and say "Woo-Hoo!" (Shauna taught him that, it's a Kelly Clarkson thing). I have to get a picture of him scrunching up his nose too, it's so cute.

I haven't been as good at taking pictures. I have a few, but I think I'll wait until this weekend and get some birthday pictures up too. We're going to have a little party for him at my parents this coming Sunday (the 23rd), since the day after that I have quite a few games in a row. Joel's parents arrive this Thursday and will be here for 10 days, so we should have lots of fun.

Oh yeah, Joel and I are pretty good too : ). We're still considering buying a house or condo this October, but are also considering just cutting back on our rent for a while to save more. We'll see what happens. Joel's doing well at FirstBank, and my 2nd season with the Rockies is half over. We've also been working events for Local Affairs and I still do quite a bit of hair. So, with all of that and church stuff, we stay vary busy! Hope everyone else is doing well!
