Scootin' Eddie (plus a tiny flashback)

Well, these next few posts may not be that exciting, but I have been SO busy working on my art room, I even forgot to take a picture of Jade on her first day of school! She is LOVING school by the way, they have some great programs and activities planned for this year, I am really excited about what she will be doing. Josh is also excited about Kindergarten, I will try not to forget the camera on Tues when he starts school. :)

So here are some quick pics I took of Eddie. He is in that "in-between" stage with the army-crawl, (which he hasn't really mastered yet, kind of skipping over it), going into a full crawl. He is still very slow and controlled when he moves forward, but he is getting there. He will take a "crawl-step" forward, go back on his tummy to reach for his toy, if he is still too far, he will get back on his hands and knees and take another crawl-step, and check his distance from his toy again, if needs be, take another crawl-step. He repeats this process until he gets what he wants. This is a different approach than I remember my other kids taking. They went to the army-crawl, got that down at full speed, then went to full crawling. Eddie seems content to take his time, he seems to have patience. But if he is not interested in reaching for something, he is content to just rock back and forth on his hands and knees. Funny kid. :)




And little me, maybe a few months older than Eddie.


This is Cheyenne, she is the granddaughter of our next-door neighbor, and comes over almost every day to play with Josh. They are the same age, get along great, and it is SO nice to have someone close who brings out the best in Joshy. She is such a little sweet-heart, and a bit feisty too. :) He said she is like his old girlfriend, Dana, who used to live next door to us on base in Vegas, because she is cute and really smart. Isn't that sweet?

Tara, its great to be able to have a picture to put with your name. I have heard so much about you and your family from Javier. I have met your parents, so it was nice to be able to find out more about you and your family. I know I have seen a picture of your kids before, but that must have been a couple years ago, I remember there were only 2 of them back then. They are all so cute, good luck with the crawling, soon there will be no stopping him.
