Learning to crawl

So, we were in St. George as a family last week and it was Kaylee's eight month birthday (if there is such a thing) and she showed us that she was learning to crawl. This is 4 days later, and she looks like she is figuring it out. We are also excited because her first tooth came through about the same time, although all the fussiness of teething isn't so much fun.

Good grip

So we think that Kaylee just might make a good rock climber. Dad thinks that would be SWEET!

Learning to Swim

Okay, so we aren't really learning to swim and this is an old video, but we thought we would post it any way. Kaylee, mommy, and grandma are spending time in the pool and grandma was teaching Kaylee and mommy about babies and mommies learning to swim.

Ouch!!

Well, Clayton came hopping in (quite cute to see a grown man hopping, but I don't say these things aloud) on Saturday evening. He had been doing the thankless job of cleaning up all the trash accumulated on our lot after framing. When he was at the dump, he fell out of his truck and landed on sawdust that was slippery enough to make his foot fold under his leg. We had an eventful couple hours at the Instacare. Luckily, his foot was not broken, but definitely not feeling well. I took a picture, though it doesn't do justice to how gross it looks:) He is hobbling around quite nicely now. If there is any silver lining to this cloud, it is that at least it doesn't seem like he is too hurt and can hopefully get started on shingles and brick soon for our house!!

Spitting: yucky or not so yucky?

I just wanted to write a note about how cute kids are (most especially my bias towards my daughter). She likes to spit. And while this should be a disgusting habit that we frown upon, it isn't. It is so adorable and I often giggle like a small child when I see it. We have spitting wars. She does it, then me, and so on.

I have decided that having kids turns you in a child again and makes you very old with responsibility at the exact same time.

p.s. did I mention that despite our fun spitting wars together, she has says dadadadada all the time? where is the loyalty?

Trusses

Now it is really starting to look like a house. Framing should be done by the end of next week. Then we can get the other subs in so we can get our four way inspection and start laying brick.
