Moving

Yesterday was the big day...I moved out of Josh's parent's house and back into my parent's house. It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would. I'm almost all unpacked already too, just a few boxes full of my random clutter left.

Jason's crib is all built and the furniture in my room is all arranged. We actually fit in there a little better than I had envisioned. There is still plenty of room and last night Jason didn't wake me up any more than he normally does. This could be due to the fact that he was sleeping in his own crib and not in the Pack N Play. He woke me up about 10 times a night while we were in Indiana, shuffling around in that Pack N Play. Of course the poor little guy had a stuffy nose to boot.

One of the best parts about living on this side of town is that once WAXIE's new building gets built I will be literally 5 mins from work. Currently I have to drive about 40 mins. Tempe is so close yet so far during morning rush hour! Plus Jason and I will get to spend a lot more time with my parents and my sister, which we haven't been doing much of in the past. I'm excited for them all to get to see Jason growing since it happens so fast! Although I normally would bring him over here at least once a week, I feel like there is so much they missed. So hopefully they all get a little bit of catchup time with me staying here.

Indiana!

Jason and I just returned from spending the week in Indiana with my dad and brother! My dad lives in a little town called Nappanee...and it is right smack dab in the middle of Amish country. It is absolutely gorgeous there and so we spent the week relaxing and enjoying the company :)

Some highlights include:

Eating out at some Amish resteraunts
Watching Jason try Reubarb Cobbler
Seeing my brother Aaron change a diaper ;)
Visiting Amish Acres, a historic Amish community (a touristy place, but neat none the less!)
Seeing my dad chase a goose with Jason in the baby stroller
Lightning Bugs!!!!

Here are some pics:

Big Boy

So over the past week Jason has changed a ton. Not only did he get those two bottom teeth (which you can see more and more every day) but he's also started crawling on all fours more now and he's pulling himself up on things as well. It was exciting to see him zoom across the floor for the first time. Now he's doing the 'army crawl' less and less and normal baby crawling more and more :)

As for pulling himself up...

This was exciting at first because its so cool to see him standing up and he gets so very excited and all. The bad part is he's started doing this in his crib. We lowered the mattress so that he can't fall out, but that's not the problem. Since he's figured out he can stand up in there, he's been resisting naps like nobody's business. Instead, after you leave the room, he just stands up in the crib and starts yelling to himself or crying if he's angry enough that you left him there. So you have to coax him into sleeping quite a bit. Otherwise you get a cranky pissed off baby...

We leave for Indiana to visit my bio father and half brother in a week. I am so looking forward to not working for a week...but not particularly looking forward to traveling with an 8 month old on a plane. This should be interesting...
