New phone

Ok, so this has nothing to do with my family, but I got a new phone last week and absolutely love it. The LG Dare through Verizon Wireless. This thing rocks.



The only downfall is that you cannot sync your calendar and contacts with your PC. But it has a fully functional browser and lots of other goodies. Check out the rap sheet: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/25/verizons-lg-dare-touchscreen-contender-available-today-for-200/

One more thing, congrats are in order to Eric and Jill on their marriage, and Ethan and Amy on the birth of their baby girl, Emleyn.

Also, Ava is crawling (you knew that from the video), and she is pulling herself up to a stand countless times a day. I wonder how long before walking??? :)

Crawling like Crazy

Ava started crawling over a week ago.... she's all over the place!

Ava Talks...

A Great One Says Goodbye

As much as I dislike the Packers, Brett truely was a joy to watch, and will be missed by this Bears fan.

Rolling Over!

Ava rolled over for the first time last Sunday, February 10, 2008! She rolled from her belly to her back, and has done it several times since. She has yet to roll from her back to her belly.

In addition, we started feeding her cereal about 3-4 weeks ago, and the first few nights after we started, she slept through the night. But since then, it has been hit or miss.....until this week. All week, she has slept from 8:30-9pm until the next morning when Kim had to wake her up at 7am. All week this week I have had to wake up in the morning and think about if I was up during the night or not. In fact, I asked Kim the first night if she had gotten up.

It has been nice, but hopefully I didn't just jinx us. :)

New Furniture

Check out pics of our new furniture! Kim has made the claim that it is "the best purchase we have ever made". This is only half of it. It is actually a huge sectional and the other half of it is in the basement for now, but once we move, we hope to have a big enough living room that we can put the whole thing in!
