My how time flies.....Haylie-Bug is growing so fast and such a smart and witty little girl. She is finally starting to open up to other kiddos and actually likes them. She does tumbling classes and absolutely LOVES it! This Saturday is the last class for the session we were in, but I may sign her up for the 8 week course. The instructor said after the 8 week course she could move onto gymnastics, because she is so into it and the best in her class, but she would be the youngest in the class if I moved her to gymnastics and I just do not think that would go over too terribly well. She has a girl in her tumbling class that is in Kindergarten and they hold hands and run around playing at the end of class, but I don't think she would like much older than that. I have pondered ballet/tap, but I know for a fact she is not dainty and self-disciplined enough for the ballet part. She would be in there shaking her butt and wiggling her hips in a matter of seconds, lol. We are going to try this coming spring to get her involved with different types of sports to see which she likes best so she can join a league in the Fall.

Chase is almost EIGHT months old!! Yikes!! He's so active now and I know I couldn't wait for him to start playing and moving around, but he is too mobile! I have to Chase him around just to get him dressed after bath time. He is eating EVERYTHING! LOL. He eats 2 stage 2 jars at once and can eat stage 3 without any problems. He is eating a lot of table food, also. I have all the Gerber Graduates stuff he can have for now...the wagon wheels, lil' crunchies, yogurt melts, cereal puffs, etc. The only thing I have found him not to be too crazy about is mashed potatoes (must not be related to Haylie, lol) and refried beans, but he will eat whole soft pinto beans like they're candy. We are crawling, standing, growling (haha) and we have caught the occasional "Mama," but I am not ready to say that is his 1st words, because it isn't a constant. Haylie was already talking by now so anytime now we should have another blabbermouth to drive Momma nutty!

Eric and I are doing wonderfully and enjoying each other and Our Family we made together. He is truly amazing and I have never felt the way I do about anyone the way I do him. We have done quite a bit more work to the house here recently, but are kind of at a stand still with all of the birthdays, holidays, events coming up....I get really crabby when the house is not clean or things are out of place and when we work on the house and I see things laying around I get really pissy, lol. My Grandparent's (Dad's side) actually the only Grandparents I have left are coming to visit Oct. 1st-4th and I am not really that excited. I like My "Grandpa" even though he isn't my real grandpa. However, I don't see them often, but this year they are coming down this trip and supposedly Christmas...I have to host dinner Friday night and I get to host Christmas, also....ugh. It'll be a busy weekend coming up for sure. Friday the Grandparents will be here and SATURDAY--------My Sweetheart turns 25!!! After the adventures we had for My Brother's party he is lucky we aren't going to Chuck E Cheese, lol. I'm not sure if we're doing a dinner/party at the house or going out, yet.

All in all everyone is doing great and happy so until next time...........
