I feel like I do this everytime I write, but I apologize for the gap in between posts! Things have been keeping us very busy down here in St. Peters, MO (and everywhere else we've been this year!).
I would like to first of all congratulate my wonderful, amazing husband a few days early.... Friday is his official last day of school! He will be graduating from USC (online) with his Master's in Aerospace Engineering! I am so proud of you honey!!! After 5 years of homework and hard work, he is finally done (and pretty excited to celebrate, I might add!).
Other than homework, Noah's job is going well. He has been traveling a lot, as I've mentioned in my last few blog posts. Noah got back from a 2-week trip to the UK right before Easter, and I think that will be his last trip for quite a while - thank goodness! :)
Judah is doing well too. His 9-month check-up was perfect, doc said he looked "awesome". He's growing, eating us out of house and home and trying hard to stand on his own now. He also really enjoys walking (with the help of extra fingers to hold onto). I think his favorite place is outside. He constantly points toward the windows and loves the sunshine when we go the park or for walks (or just go to the store and walk through the parking lot!). Here are a few videos...
Judah had just woke up from a nap, and he must have rested well, because he was extremely hyper! Just had to laugh...
Judah decided to tinker with his car... and stand by himself! This wasn't the first time (and not the longest time) he's ever stood by himself though. Thought it was funny he was going "brrrrmmm, brrrmmm!"
I am doing well too. I joined the local MOMS Club chapter and am enjoying getting to know all of the ladies and their kids. I'm also organizing the first meeting of a stay-at-home moms group through our church, which will be meeting in the next few weeks. It will be a great opportunity to meet some of the other moms from church. Our church is pretty big, and it's been a little bit of a challenge connecting with other stay-at-home moms there. So I'm praying everything will go well with that!
Other than the normal everyday organized chaos, we are planning Judah's dedication/birthday party in mid-June. It will be a small get-together, as most of the family is out of town. I've been trying to perfect a healthier version of birthday cake for Judah that still tastes yummy and I think I'm close! The last one I made tasted good, but turned out more like pumpkin pie filling rather than actual cake. Sheesh!
On Memorial Day weekend we are planning to take a trip to see Noah's brother, Paul, in Huntsville, Alabama. It's a 7 hour drive, so I'm hoping Judah will do ok with that. I KNOW once we get there he will have a great time with his Uncle Paul though! :)
September will be a real treat, as we are heading to Colorado for our first family vacation! We're going to be staying on the southwest edge of Rocky Mountain National Park and renting a house with Noah's parents and his cousin Madaline and her husband Gabe. We plan to do some sight seeing, hiking and lots of relaxing! Very excited about getting away!
Okay, I know you are all waiting patiently to see pictures. Here you go :) FYI to our Wisconsin family way, way up north... we are not sure when we will be in Wisconsin next, so if any of you want to come visit us, our door is always open!
