Little Dues

He's walking and it is soooo cute!!! He gets better and better each day! He gets so excited that he's walking, so he trys to go faster and just crashes it is adorable!!!

Clean

I've discovered that you truly can only clean your kitchen so many times before you loose your mind. With a great amount of time an nothing to fill it with I have picked up the habbit of wiping down my counter tops and wash any dishes in the sink about 3 or more times a day. Today however I found a new love... laundry. For the first time every I managed to wash three loads, fold and put them all away just before Ethen walked in the door. This may seem like a small thing but for me, I am just glad to be doing something!!

Grandpas and their grandsons

As you all know, Toby and Papa Bear had a very close connection. Toby adores Papa Bear, the second he would get home, Tobs would crawl as fast as he could to get to him. They are truely best friends. The love they have for one another is so great you can see it by just watching them together.

We all knew that saying goodbye would be very dificult. I never thought it would be as hard as it was though. I let Papa Bear give Toby a bottle before bed, so he could feed him one last time. He sat in the rocking chair and as he held him in his arms and gave him the bottle, tears began to fall down his face. You could tell that the emotions were uncontrolible. It was hard for Ethen and I to seperate Toby and his best friend. Now that we are here you can tell that Toby misses everyone. He is very clingy (which is rare for him). So from Toby to Papa Bear... He loves you endlessly!

Tennessee

We are finally here! We made it to Tennessee. It was about a two and a half day drive between all the stops we had to take for the Tobs. It was a blast though. It is nice to be out on our own. We love our apartment here. It is so big. Two bedrooms and two bath, plus a wonderful kitchen. I do miss having a microwave. I am learning to do without though. I love cooking for my husband too. So far I haven't burned anything. It is hard to be here though. I miss my family and friends greatly. I have yet to make any here. Thankfully we got a TV yesterday so I am not as bored as I was the first few days. Hooray for Ethen! He has been working so hard and he finally made his first sale, after being out for only 2 1/2 days. He's pretty hot stuff and he looks great in his uniform. The Tobs is coming up on nine months pretty soon. He is getting the walking thing down pretty good. He falls every 5 steps but he loves cruisin. As for me, I am just grateful for my beautiful family. I will try to get more pictures up soon. Love you all and miss you heaps!!

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands

So most babies clap when they are happy or when they are copying you. Well Toby started to clap for the first time about a week ago and he will only do it when he is mad! It is so funny to see a fussy face with happy hands. He cracks me up!

First Tooth!

Yeah! Toby finally got his first tooth on Sunday! The second one came in two days later. Now he loves to chew on even more things then ever before! The coach, his crib, moms fingers, he bites on everything! he looks adorable with his little teeth!
