"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans...."

*Ten points if you can tell me what song that is from....

I've been meaning to post for weeks, but the last couple of weeks have been a little crazy to say the least. In fact, I'm not even sure if all of my siblings know what's happened.

That's how crazy it's been.

You see, we moved.

Nate has 8 more months of school before we'll be leaving the Provo/Orem area for Denver. Why on earth did we move for 8 months? Yeah, we've wondered that a couple of times as we packed up everything and unpacked it again, realizing we'd be doing this again all too soon. (My mom requested pics of the new place, but it's still too messy for that! I'll post those when I get it cleaned up a little more) There were, honestly, a lot of reasons and if you want to hear them all, give me a call or shoot me an e-mail or something. This blog is for better things than long stories!

Like this girl:



She is a silly, sweet, even tempered, crazy girl! It's fun to see her little personality - like the fact that she won't smile at people right when she meets them. She'll just sort of look at them, study them and then if she thinks they're okay, then she'll smile. Or when she gets tired at night - around 8:00 - she gets really silly and will laugh at the weirdest things (like me saying "you're naked!" in a really high pitched voice). Or (her latest) talking in her sleep! (she is like her mama in some ways I guess!)

She's started rolling a little bit as well, though she doesn't do it consistently because her arm gets in the way of the roll and she can't figure out how to move it. :)



She actually seems to like rolling from her back to her tummy more.


She is VERY good with her hands too. For a couple of months, she's been able to reach for her little toys that hang above her and pull them to her mouth. Now she can grab her binky from my hand or the ground in front of her and put it in her mouth (sometimes it's the wrong side, but it's still there!).

Her head is getting bigger too. :) She's actually grown out of some of her clothes, which is SO weird! She can't be getting bigger!

Ah - a little vague? We want to know why you moved - you had the sweetest hook-up ever! You should have let us come and help, I think we owe you guys like 3 moves now...

That line is from the song "Beautiful boy" (or something like that). It was on Mr. Holland's Opus, but it was one of the Beatles that sang it originally I think.

And I love that she is getting chubby. And that last picture with the clothes on her head, she looks a lot like Nate.
