BUMBO!!!


So I know I haven't blogged in a while... and I have also forgot to mention that Athen got a bumbo... now this is a GREAT concept... however, if you have a child that likes to pitch a fit and arch its back... this may not be the ideal thing for you... we have to be right with Athen when he is in his bumbo... but he likes to be in it and feel like he is a "big boy" but it doesn't last too long...


Oh, and last week Athen rolled over all by himself... he has only done it once and he really didn't know what he was doing... but we are trying to give him more and more floor time so he can be a quick study and be rolling all over the place....


I love that Athen is getting older and learning new things... our next mile stone that we (ME) are looking forward to the day that he can put his pacie in his mouth if it falls out... yep that will be a grand day! The other will be when I can throw him on my hip and GO!!...

Athen is getting VERY strong... and when ever he is sitting in something whether being car seat, bouncy seat... whatever he tries and sit up... he can hold himself up for a pretty good for a long time... so now we have to MAKE SURE we strap him in, right Grammie? =)

Well that should get everyone up to date in the Wonderful World of Athen... shots at the end of this month... no fun!

He really does look like me...



Ok, so maybe this isn't the "best" picture of me to compare... but really does look like me... look at those eyes and that chin and lips... yep all me! =)

picture...


Couldn't you just eat him up! We love him so....
This is a picture that Athen's Aunt Nikki took... I HOPE there are more to come later... =) Stay tuned!
Also some news on the Athen front... he has learned to laugh, not sure if "learned" is the correct word, is laughing a learned behavior? Anyhoo, yep he can chuckle with the best of them... but only when Diezel is barking, don't ask me why... but that is the only thing we have found so far that gets him going that good... I am working HARD on getting it on video and then posting it on the web, so stayed tuned for that as well...
ps... Please keep my best Friend Tyler in your prayers, a good friend of his lost his father Friday. Please pray for Tyler and his friend.
