Good news!

First off, let me tell you that last night after his bath, I let PD run around naked for a little while because he has a little red booty that I'm trying to clear up. He's got this little toy radio sitting on the bottom shelf of his bookcase. When you push the big yellow button on top, it plays a song. Well last night after his bath he crawled over to the bookcase and started playing with his radio but he didn't take it off of the shelf, he just leaned up into it. So his torso was in the bookcase and his tushy and knees were on the floor. When he'd press the button to play a song, he'd start bouncing along with the song. I called sug to ask if he knew where a camera was because I soooooooo wanted to get that little bouncing booty on video. But, alas, I broke the camera a little on my mom's birthday and then Sug "fixed" it WELL BROKEN. So I have no vid of it. But it was cute.

ON TO THE GOOD NEWS

The bestest news is that it looks like Sug is going to be going back on payroll at Secure Air. The former chief pilot, Ed, is retiring and training Sug up as a co-pilot on the lear-jet. YAAAAY SUG. The second bits of good news are to do with my job. I have now been assigned a geographic territory and it's right in our backyard. I'm covering the east side of downtown nashville, donleson, hermitage and Old Hickory. It's very exciting stuff. I brought my redcross car home yesterday so the little Jetta is going to be getting a break. The only drama with that is that I have to take PD to the sitter in the Jetta then come home and get the ARC car and take it to work. That worked out this morning because I needed to come back and put some laundry into the dryer anyway, but it's like a 30 minute process to take him and get back. I need those 30 Minutes in the morning!!!

Still, good news, huh?!

One silly boy

How is it possible that our little man got so silly in just 9 months??

Correction... TEETH

Today Sug noticed one of the top teeth has come in. I knew this would happen. No teeth for AGES and now two teeth in two weeks and the one's beside of the one's that HAVE come in are pushing their way through right now. Please excuse the messy face. We didn't notice the new tooth until lunchtime so he's got food all over him.

I've booked their tickets to England. They leave Nashville on the 7th of October and land on the 8th in Gatwick and leave England via Heathrow on the 20th. I'll have a lonely empty house for a couple of weeks if anyone wants to come and visit. :-D

Plans for PDs 1st Birthday Party are well underway. We're really excited about it. I've found the cutest little favors on-line but they don't ship to the US only to Europe and the UK so I will be contacting the worlds greatest mother-in-law to ask if she'll help me out and let me ship them to her pad and she can just bring them over with her when she comes in November.

We're keeping our fingers crossed that Sug gets a job soon after he returns. He got some promising news over the weekend and I just hope that it works out the way it sounds like it's going to.

We have a tooth!

I came home from work on Tuesday evening and Sug says, "Guess what I found?" It turns out, PD has a tooth. It's just the top of the bottom left front tooth, but it's there and it bites. He won't let us see it. We have to trick him into showing it. But as soon as I'm able to get a photo, I'll share it. Also, he "walked" down the hall on Sunday holding on to Grandpa's fingers. Up until now, if we held his fingers and tilted him forward, he would just lean. Now he picks up his little foot and walks forward. He says "Mama" but I'm not sure that he knows what it means. He reaches when he's scared or hurt or just wants to be held. He has also self-weaned himself from breast-feeding and adopted a pacifier instead and started pulling up on things so that he can stand. All of this the last couple of weeks.
