Silly Andrew Faces. The first one wasn't a fluke camera shot...he actually makes this face quite often.

Funny Little Bugger
My son is a funny little bugger. He's 10 months old today and he's quirky. I'm not sure where that comes from but regardless he makes us laugh. He now knows how to shake his head. When he sees us say "no" and shake our head, he will just smile and shake his head too. So today we've noticed, that he will shake his head BEFORE he's about to do something he knows he should not, like play with the receiver buttons. How can we get mad at that?! He's also got this weird little thing about trying to put as many things in one hand as possible. Funny little boy. Today he's been blowing 'rasberries' and make a 'motor boat' noise with his lips all day long. (except he now knows how to get saliva behind them....eewwweee...). And he is just walking up a storm now. It's so cute...my little drunk sailor.
Let's see, what's going been going on here since I last posted.
We had a nice time in Ohio earlier this past week. The rest of the week was pretty tame. Although we got invited out two different nights this week for dinner. Thursday night we visited the Jessee and had steak and homemade mac & cheese. Saturday night we visited the Tolsmas with the Uelands and had fahitas. I LOVE FAHITAS. But we were out too late and this morning was REALLY hard to get out of bed and get to church. We visited the new church again this morning. It was only out second time at this church and they dropped a bomb on the congregation telling them that they had asked one of the pastors to leave and elders came up and talked to the crowd and people were crying and stuff. I really felt for the church and it was a little awkward since we didn't know hardly anyone and it didn't seem to affect us at all. Maybe just keep the church in your prayers.
Today we haven't been doing much. And our house shows it. It's amazing how after ONE day of not keeping on top of things and it looks like a tornado came through. I've just been reading a bit. I'm almost finished with Nicolae. I made some oatmeal and some snack crackers. And we are watching the Vikings.
It's playoffs and if you know me at all, you know my husband is a die hard Vikings Fans. Well, they made it into the playoffs, but are very much the underdog. They are playing Green Bay right now and have already lost to them twice this season. Well, right now, as I type, the Vikings are up 24 to 10 with 3:27 left in the 3rd. This evening will either be wonderful or terrible. Sometimes I think my hubby feels like the Vikings are playing for him and him alone. :)
This week Andrew has 3 testing sessions, so he is going to be pulling in $55 bucks. How nice is that?! Marc will be gone one night this week as he has training across the state and will be spending the night with a buddy and his wife who live near there. Then sometime toward the end of the week, we will be heading to IA for our Christmas with that side of the family. I really need to cracking and finish up those gifts. :)

Wake up and Play with me
It is noon and I am sitting in the hotel room in the dark while little man is sleeping and I have a feeling I don't think I've had before. I want him to wake up! I want to go swimming. I am sitting her in my swimsuit just waiting. Wouldn't you know this would be the time he takes a nice long nap. I want to get going cause we still have to come back here, get cleaned up, eat lunch, get packed up and load the car, all before 2:00. And he just snoozes on.
It's been a nice little get-away. We spent the night Sunday night with Keith and Taryn, spend part of the day with my Aunt yesterday and just hung out at the hotel. Then last night, K&T and Gid the Kid along with Mom and Mindy came up and we ate pizza and went swimming. It was fun. We ran into a little snafu yesterday morning, when our car wouldn't start. But we called AAA and bought new battery and we are up and running again.
So this morning, after breakfast, we dropped Marc off at the office and I pulled things together a bit in the room before little man went down for his nap. I've already finished my book, checked my e-mail and message board, and now I am updated the blog. I'm just sitting here...in the dark....in my damp swimming suit....smelling like chlorine...waiting for my my little boy to wake up and play with me.

Things that quickly come to mind I learned in '04
1. Baby + Lasanga = Immediate Bath
2. Pack more than one "good" diaper, 'cause it never fails he'll "go" as soon as you put it on him.
3. If you have a new baby...try, try, try NOT to get in the habit of "bouncing" him to sleep.
4. Never leave a child alone with a telephone..unless you would like to speak to emergency personnel
5. Baby giggles melt the heart
Ok, I am sure I've learned more than that... I KNOW I have...gosh, I probably learned more this year than any other...but this is all I can ariculate right now without boring you with the obvious...like...I learned to change a diaper, make baby food, etc...
So, I hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve and New Years Day. Ours was nice. Nothing too exciting or wild. We were pretty lazy Friday, but did go out with friends that night. However, we were home around 11:45. In time to see the ball drop. Today's been pretty lazy, too. I picked up, did some laundry and paid some bills, but other than that...not much.
Tomorrow is church (we are planning on trying out some friend's church), some errands (we really need diapers), clean a bit, pack, and head to Ohio. Marc has training for work Mon & Tues., so we will be down there until Tueseday eve. Staying with family Sunday night and at a hotel Monday night. It has a pool and should be fun.
I feel like I have little to "report" and I am itching to go read a bit (I'm on Tribulation Force) now that little man is sleeping.
