Here, there and everywhere!

Hi Everyone!

My goodness, it's been a long time since we updated this thing. Sorry about that!

We are doing well down here in Missouri. Not too much new these days, besides our little crazy mobile bambino!

Noah is traveling for work (yes, STILL!)... they keep him hopping. And now he is officially a world traveler. He enjoyed his trip to Sweden for a week in February, and is preparing to go to the UK March 19-31. That should be his last trip for a while.

I am enjoying staying at home with little "Judah-bean". Yes, he is still our little jumping bean, although now he is crawling and trying to stand and walk (which he can't quite figure out yet), in addition to jumping. He doesn't let obstacles get in the way either - he just crawls right over them (Noah calls it "four-wheel driving")! Judah is one determined little boy! haha It just amazes me how quickly such a tiny little person can grow and learn and change. Only God could've created that whole process. I look at him every day and am just in love with him and ...amazed. He is such a happy baby so full of excitement and laughter. It's hard work being a parent, but that little smile will just change your bad day into a great one within a few seconds. Another little God-designed miracle.

Here are some pictures from the last month or so:

And a video... Judah likes to read sideways evidently! haha



On a personal note, I'm still looking for other moms to hang out with during the week. Being cooped up in the house is getting old and I enjoy meeting new people! I am getting involved with MOMS Club, and also put in a suggestion to start a group for stay-at-home moms at our church. Hopefully that takes off! Other than that, we had a fun play date today with my friend Kate and her little cutie Gwen who is 11 months old already. It was a glimpse into the future for what we're going to see Judah doing in the next few months - walking! AHH! Good thing we finally have our baby gate up!

Judah is finally eating his veggies too, which is big news in the house! He likes carrots a lot, and also eats beans, broccoli and squash. Next on the list to try are peas, spinach and sweet potatoes. After he gets used to all of his veggies, we'll start fruit again and some finger foods.

We are definitely looking forward to Spring and some warmer weather soon so we can explore outside, go to the park and the St. Louis Zoo for sure. Judah LOVES animals (he can pick out the dogs and cats in his animal book!) and will love the zoo. I just know it. Can't wait!

We are not sure when we will see all of you, as travel is up in the air right now for Easter but we will try to make it up to Wisconsin in the near future, and Springfield as well. Please keep in touch! We miss all of you!


Love and blessings,
Noah, Krista & Judah
