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.

Another fun day at the beach

Today we took Kelly and PD to the beach at the Anderson Road Recreational Area. I think it's safe to say that everyone had a good time. PD got his time in the water. Sug and Kelly got their time annoying one another and I got to hang out with my friends which I haven't really gotten to do since I started working.

Another crazy week

Kelly made it in to town last night. I've hardly seen her at all because last night was also Pokeeno and I hadn't been able to make it to Pokeeno since April. We had pokeeno at Eller's. Her husband totally busted his butt playing the gracious host. We told Eller that if any of our husbands ever leave us she'd better "low jack" her man cuz we're coming after him. Naturally, none of us could be happier than we are now. BUT, if our men ever decide that THEY could be, then Eller had better watch her back. JK!!!

There are videos on facebook at the moment of us playing chase with PD. He has always loved being chased and thinks its so funny when Harley or Daddy follow us up the stairs. Now, he is initating chases on his own by crawling into the room, making eye contact, spinning around and sprint-crawling out of the room squealing. It's really funny, check out our vids on facebook because the one I tried to load on here of it didn't work.

Tomorrow Sug and Kelly are off to pick up Yota. FUUUUUUUUUN Roadtrip! Woot woot. I shall be packing up snacks tonight to get them ready for their voyage and I'm sure they'll be taking some roadtrip videos which I will post as soon as they give them to me. My weekend is packed as well. Birthday party tomorrow and then Maurisa is coming to spend the night with Lori and myself tomorrow night followed by brunch the next morning and then Lori is moving to Austin. BOOOOO!!

Back from Ohio

We spent the weekend in Ohio with the fam. Oliver had a blast playing with his Aunt B and, as always, his Grandma and Grandpa doted on him.









We've spent the last couple of days putting everything away and getting ready for Kelly's big visit. It's gonna be awesome. This is the last sleep. I must say that I prefer these quick trips that we don't even have to count down to. My trip over in May was a quick one like this and it was like, "Hmmm I think I'll go to England" and BAM, I was there. Same with Bird. She sat there and said, "I have a few weeks off, I think I'll go to America" and she'll be here this time tomorrow. Definitely the way to travel.
