26

Yep, as of today I'm officially 26 years old. I dont know when that happened but it definetly did! You know your grown up when your birthday consists of school and notecards/studying! Tomorrow Alan, Chad, and I are going to carve our pumpkins, we were going to go to Schnepf Farms but Chad has a running nose as of last night so we are going to hang at home. Chad gave me my birthday present by FINALLY allowing me to video him laughing since he always stops and stares at the camera once I go get it, but not today! Thanks Chad! :)

Giggles

I know my blog has become Chads Blog, I promise when I have something else exciting to write about I will, but for now...more Chad (my favorite thing) and a disclaimer: Chad does own clothes, not just Pajamas :)

My Inspiration-BIG smiles!

I always thought I loved the baby baby stage, you know, where babies are super small, straight from mom and newborn and cuddly. Im not saying I dont now but Chad's age right now is so much fun! He is smiling and laughing at us and makes the best little noises and sounds while he is "talking" to us, he is drooling all over the place, he exercises his legs like none other with his kicks and he loves to grab his blanket and clothes and bring them up to his mouth to eat (like some of his cousins, so I guess he'll fit right in) :) I'm enjoying him so much right now I cant even imagine what it will be like when he starts talking and walking...

By the way...my house is in chaos right now, Alan got to use the cleaning truck from work and spent 12 hours yesterday cleaning our carpet, air ducts, tile, granite, etc. The house is SUPER clean but that means everything has to be off the floor and on the couches and beds. I feel like we just moved in and I'm unpacking! Thanks Daddy for your hard work yesterday to make sure our house is germ free for Baby Chad :)

School

Is it too much to ask for these next 3 1/2 weeks to be over and finished already?

Wish I could tele-port to Nov 17th.

Guess what?! More CHAD!

I'm sure everyone would like a post of something other than Chad but I really dont have much going on besides him and Nursing School, and who wants to talk about Nursing School? Not me! Only 5 weeks left and a final and I'm FINISHED! FINALLY! We are doing our clinical rotations in ICU right now and thats been pretty awesome otherwise....nothing to report.

So heres Chad again! Chad HATES tummy time, its pretty funny. Before when Id put him down on his tummy he would start crying within a minute and now he does better, he'll get to 5 minutes but instead of crying he puts his head down and lays there. Smart boy.

We start with holding our head up way high! Then, in give or take 5 minutes, we get tired. Done.
Here is a video of him starting to roll over, he actually gets a little further than this video shows but it was the best he would do while I was filming.
