9 Months old!

Adam is officially as old as it took to create him in my belly! Wow how time flies! He is strong and healthy...although a bit on the small, skinny side- must get that from his father. He loves to explore new things, but is really leery of people he doesn't know. He came to the ladies' retreat with me, and WOULD NOT go to anyone. So it made the retreat a bit tough, as I had to do my coordinator duties while toting a happy 18 lbs baby around. He loves being with me and I currently cannot leave the room without hauling him with me. Just last week mom and I went to the mall and he didn't want to stay in the stroller, he just kept screaming and looking back at me- i almost thought he was going to break his neck! Crazy KID!
Despite all his quarks...and still lack of sleep because of five teeth coming in at once- we Love him more and more each day.

Adam loves to play with Toby & Shadow!

New Business, New Favorite TV show, Retreat

So if you haven't heard already, this is my official announcement. I am starting a business called Butterfly Kiss Designs. I will graphically design custom photo announcements- birth, wedding, save the date, chocolate bar wrappers... things like that. So if anyone is interested, I am building my portfolio and am offering a free service until the May 15. Website details to follow later.

On the baby note...the new best show is "Notes from the Underbelly"- it is hilarious!!!! A couple is trying to get pregnant...another is pregnant....stories of men being exhausted, women consumed with thoughts of baby bliss. For example a woman is trying for an hour to put on a baby sling with a doll to test it out- it brings back memories of me trying to work out my baby sling. If you haven't seen it, you are REALLY missing out- although you might not understand unless you have had a child.

The Retreat is on tomorrow- so Rick is being left home alone, as Adam and I join 70 other women at SABC. It should be good, and I am truly looking forward to it. Rick is probably going to feel lonely, as Adam will not be filling the house with his new screaching noise. He is almost crawling...but might be in this stage for a little while, because right now he is going backwards. Crazy boy... and such an incredible blessing.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
