5 months

I am 5 months old today! I have really changed this month and my parents are amazed at how quickly I'm developing. Before you know it, I'll be on the field at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Here are some of the fun things I've done in the past month:

- rolled from my tummy to my back (I only did it twice in a row while Mommy and Daddy were looking, I haven't figured out how to repeat the same amazing stunt)

- was introduced to the exersaucer (Mommy likes to put me in this thing that has all kinds of fun toys on it, I do get bored pretty quick though)

- started eating solid foods (I love applesauce, yummy, yummy)

- had my first portraits taken

- put my feet in the sand for the first time

- saw and felt the Pacific ocean for the first time

-tagged along to many outtings at the Splash Park

- watched my big brother run around like a crazy man

- rode in the car for over 24 hours to go to California and back (please Mommy let's not do that again)

- laughed a lot

- gave lots of cuddles

- melted many hearts with my adorable smile and quirky facial expressions

- learned how to sleep through the night (again)

- decided I would fervently let Aunt Jessie know of my eating preferences (no bottles thank you very much!)

- waited patiently in a three hour line for Mommy to buy some ridiculous book

- learned to sit up (well I haven't perfected this one yet but I am getting better at it all the time)

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
