A Week of Change

I've learned in my long 9 months of life that life and the world is constantly changing. While this subject is one I ruminate over often, I have decided not to bore you with my many thoughts on our existence here on earth and just advise you how my week has been.
The following is my list of things that have changed since Saturday:

1. After attending church for the first time this Easter, I've discovered a newfound desire to make a change towards being closer to God and being more spiritual. Samuel and I discussed Resurrection Sunday in great detail:



I was so moved, that I felt compelled to praise Jesus right then and there!


2. My humongous top tooth is finally poking through. Mom keeps saying how I'm changing into a big boy and this is just further proof of that. I still refuse to let her get any sort of photographic evidence of it. But, she was able to sneakily catch a shot of my two bottom teeth that have been coming in for months, you have to look really hard:

3. Mom has stopped panicking (as much) about me choking on finger foods and allowed me to eat some well-cooked pasta. Its not that good, but she just leaves it there on the highchair tray for me to do whatever I please with it. Talk about fun! I've noticed that Shiner seems to want to be around me more because of this new food, he must be terribly impressed with my pincer grasp and chewing skills.


4. Daddy moved my crib mattress all the way to the bottom this weekend! This is because I am now able to fully pull myself up to standing and Mom (she's a little neurotic) was afraid I'd fall out with it being as high up as it used to be. When I stand while holding onto the couch, she sits behind me and I find great humor in just letting go suddenly and falling backwards into her arms. She keeps saying something about how she might not always be there to catch me, but I know she will be. She's my Mom, thats her job.


5. The scenery at my stand-in Mommy's house has changed. Shantell has a new aquarium for me to see all sorts of fish...and eventually frogs (Mom is SO excited about the frogs). Daddy and Josh put the stand together, I think the biggest change I've witnessed this week is seeing two men actually read instructions. I got the impression that this isn't a normal occurence, I guess times really are a' changing!

Here's Caleb and I waiting to see the completed product.


6. My favorite change of this week was that Caleb came to MY house instead of me going to his. It wasn't for very long, but I just love to watch him and learn from him and Shiner loves to lick him. I missed Abby, but she was away learning how to ride her bike without training wheels!




What a week! Its always something new with me...I can't wait to see what next week brings.

OK, That Praise Jesus snapshot was just too hilarious. Had me cracking up and even had to go back look at it again. I get the giggles thinking about it.

Wow Cooper, I really had no idea how spiritual you are, & your love for art, wow! You know your mom is going to print all these & we'll be having a good ol' time on prom night, showing your friends, maybe even giving them their own copy :)
