I realized lately that there are almost no pictures of me with my child...partly because I'm rarely picture ready and partly because no one's around to take pictures. Well Jimmy is around but if I don't think about it, it doesn't get thought about. So here ya go...yesterday we took a picture!! Someday maybe we'll get one of all 3 of us together, awwwww =)


We both have a hard time keeping up with the kid's energy. Especially Jimmy on a Sunday afternoon.

First Night

Last night was the first night that Duncan fell asleep all on his own without crying!! It was a major accomplishment for him and we're so proud =) I risked all that hard work by sneaking in to take a picture of the wonderful moment. Fortunately he just stirred a little but stayed asleep. On top of falling asleep on his own he stayed asleep for most of the night. Sad but true...my life revolves around Duncan's sleeping habits.

I had to teach the Relief Society lesson on integrity today. I think it went well. I was well prepared and that always makes things go smoothly. I think if you're well prepared and ask Heavenly Father for help, things are always going to work out just fine.

Welcome, Welcome!

We decided we would join the gobs of people now journaling their lives for the world to read. Today is Friday and I'm feeling a little more alert than most mornings because I didn't go to work at 5:30am. I had another rough night with Duncan and couldn't get myself out of bed to work a measly two hour shift. Duncan is almost 6 months and I'm afraid he might be one of those kids who just never sleeps through the night. We've been trying some "sleep training" which basically means, establishing a bedtime routine, puting him down awake, and letting him cry it out. It has been almost 2 weeks and he's still crying (not to say he's been crying for 2 weeks straight but rather he still cries at bedtime =). Despite our night time issues, Duncan really is a great baby. He's happy most of the time, and loves people. We went to get new tires today and while we were waiting, a woman came and sat down next to us. Duncan just sat there and stared at the woman until she responded and then just giggled. He has this way of watching you like he is trying to figure you out. So anyway, four new tires!! We weren't expecting that, but we have had the Corolla for almost 2 years and haven't really had much work done so we should have expected to fork out some dough. Well I better get Duncan up. I know I know...never wake a sleeping baby...but he went down for a late nap and I don't want him to sleep past 5pm. It's for the best!
p.s. Check out Duncan's teeth!! (2 front bottom just surfaced)
