Walking

I can now say that my little son is walking! I consider him a full walker now that he can actually sand himself up from a crawling/sitting position and begin to walk. In a way he looks smaller to me than before. When he was crawling he looked like a big crawler, but now that he's walking I think to myself, "how odd that that little body can move just like mine."

Nixon decided that he likes bananas today. He's the worlds pickiest eater. And up until today hated bananas, but today we ate half a banana together and he didn't open his mouth with it on his tongue for it to fall off, (which is a new rediculous habit when he does't like the food :) ) It could be the fact that Mama liked the banana and was sharing it with him, I don't know but I wouldn't be suprised with tomorrow he decided he actually didn't like it.

It's funny how you can live in a place of your life and feel like "I wan't and know there's something more for us." and become impatient, but then when things get in motion, you just want to be in that comfortable place again. For so long i've thought to myself, it might be time to move out of Corvallis. I've been looking at apartments, and jobs. And I know it's right around the corner. But today I woke up to a snowy winter wonderland outside the window of my cozy, warm, roomy home and thought, "boy am I glad i dind't miss this." And all of the sudden I find myself holding on to the door for dear life instead of pushing it like I normally do. It's funny how God meets us where we are at and can always find ways to remind us that his plan is a bit bigger than ours.

14 Months

Well my little guy is 1 year and 2 months old! It's so weird to me that so much time has lapsed.
The little man is still crawling and will walk a couple steps. I guess i thought in the walking process that he would just realized he can take steps and then just start walking everywhere, but instead he crawls everywhere with a few steps here and there.

He likes to explore his toys on his own. He's very independent in that way. He needs me in the room or near him but he doesn't need me engaged in the toys, though I like to be for the little fellowship with him. When he plays with his little cars, he likes to make a rumbling sound with his lips. It's s funny because he just picks up on this some where, some how.

He's broadening his appetite. He can pretty much eat anything, but his diet is still a lot of baby food with a lot of crackers and adult food here and there in the day. He still hates vegetables though.

He is in a phase wehre he likes to drop things into big open areas, like toys down into the bath, things get tossed in the trash, and the hamper. He tossed a toy between mivhaels legs into the toilet while he was using the restroom the other day.

He also likes glancing at you from different positions like tilting his head to the side or looking over and under things to look at you.

On another note, we are looking at relocating withing the year, but the process has been a lot harder than we expected, We are praying a lot, that God will open doors but just waiting. So fingers crossed.
