Time...

Wow... hopefully no one is paying too close attention to this blog because they would see how little attention I've been paying it lately.

SO much has happened over all this time. Jaydan started scooting at 6 months and officially crawling at 7. During the same week that he began crawling, we began finding him standing in his crib when he awoke each morning. Now he climbs to a stand at the sofa's edge all the time. Crazy kid!

Perhaps the most adorable thing that he does now is give kisses. He started doing that around 6 1/2 months - he opens his mouth and leans in to give you a slobbery smooch. Everyone who has been able to experience it loves it!

Regarding us: Dirk is planning on having some surgery after our trip to Mexico in November. We're hoping that his recovery will be quick and as painless as can be. From what we understand, he'll be laid up for nearly 3 weeks. I know that he's not looking forward to the experience, but we both know that it's for the best in the long run. He'll definitely be happier once he isn't in so much pain.

Other than Dirk's impending surgery, our first family vacation to Mexico and Jaydan's progress, nothing really new and exciting with us! We go through our day to day and week to week just like everyone else. We're happy and that's really the most important thing.
