Another new skill

I forgot to add one thing J'dub learned yesterday to the list.
I don't know what the technical term for it is, so if you do, let me know.
He can make himself sound like he is underwater by moving his lips with his fingers while making a noise.
Feel free to try it yourself if you don't get a mental picture.

Cousin Samantha used to do the same thing using the back of her hand. It's very cute.

I'm a big kid now!

Here is a list of things J'dub has learned recently or is on the verge of learning:

• Giving High-5's - a few months
  
• Giving kisses - a week or so now
  
• Using a no-spill sippy cup all on his own - a few weeks with the no-spill
  
• Bang, oh I mean, play the piano - a week ago
  
• "Use" a spoon to feed himself - a few weeks. (He usually switches to grabbing handfuls from the bowl)
  
• Take the cover off of the nightlights- Feb 2
  
• Discovered pushing the button on his book makes the sheep say, "Bah, bah" - Feb 3
• Climb the stairs(still working on the down) - a week
  
• Push the plungers and add balls to his Sit and Spin Arcade - a week ago
  
• "Brush" his own teeth - a few weeks
  
• Say Momma/Mom while actually referring to his Mother - a month or so
• Smiling and waving when you tell him "No" or "Come here" - a few weeks
  
• Walk while pushing something - a few weeks ago
  
• Walk while holding only one of my hands - a week ago/still working on this one

J'dub seems to have turned the corner and had less physical growth, but his mental growth is just taking off. It seems like everyday we seem him master some new skill. It is a very exciting time for all of us.

The wait is over

Well after promising a family blog for sometime, we have finally done it. I'm sure there will be lots of changes in the beginning as we get used to this new web application. Hopefully it will be a good way to let everyone know what is going on with the family. There aren't any specific goals for the amount of posting, but if you want to hear more from us leave a comment.

Oh and perhaps there will be some pictures too!

J'dub Swinging

Posting videos are lots of fun too. Here is a video of J'dub swinging in G'ma and G'pa B's new baby swing. Thanksgiving Day 2006.

Capper Raey Giggling

I found this video of Capper giggling when I was cleaning up the old hard drive. I thought I should share with the world. Oh so cute! It is from 11/11/06
