I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS "BLOG TO BOOK" THING FOR THE YEAR OF 2007 AND I AM REALIZING THAT I MOSTLY POST PICTURES AND NOT WORDS SO TODAY I DECIDED TO CHANGE THAT.
HERE IS AN UPDATE ON OUR FAMILY...
JAKE IS BUSY AS A WORKER BEE BEING A GREAT HUSBAND, FATHER, STUDENT, SOLDIER, CADET, LINGUIST, CHURCH MEMBER. HE IS SOMEHOW MANAGING TO DO ALL THESE THINGS FULL TIME AND STILL KEEP HIS SANITY. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE MAN DOES IT AT TIMES!
CAROLINE (ME) IS BUSY AS USUAL AS A WIFE, MOTHER, DIAPER CHANGER, HOUSE CLEANER, CHEF, AND ACCOUNTANT. I LOVE MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. JAKE ASKED ME THE OTHER NIGHT WHAT I WAS STRESSED ABOUT AND I SAID "NOTHING" AND IT REALLY SURPRISED ME! I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I CAN REMEMBER NOT BEING STRESSED ABOUT ANYTHING! IT WAS A HAPPY MOMENT FOR THE BOTH OF US.
AIMI LARK IS 15 MONTHS OLD TOMORROW AND IS WALKING SO WELL NOW. SHE CAN STAND UP ON HER OWN AND JUST WALKS TO AND FRO. SHE YELLS MORE LATELY. WE TRY TO GET HER TO USE HER WORDS MORE. WE HAVE GOT HER TO SAY "MUH" WHICH TRANSLATES TO "MORE" WHEN SHE WANTS ANOTHER BITE. SHE SAYS HI, UH OH, AND OF COURSE SQUEALS THIS HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL WHEN SHE IS ANGRY. SHE IS ALSO NOW TAKING A PACIFIER QUITE OFTEN. THIS WHOLE SITUATION STARTED BECAUSE SHE WOULD STEAL THEM FROM MALI SU AND SUCK ON THEM AND JAKE HAS JUST ENCOURAGED THE PACIFIER HABIT.
MALI SU IT DOING GREAT! SHE IS 7.5 WEEKS NOW. SHE HAS BEEN SLEEPING AT LEAST 8 HOURS A NIGHT FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW AND I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL! SHE IS MORE ALERT AND AWAKE EVERYDAY. SHE SMILES MORE NOW AND SOMETIMES IT IS AT SOMEONE NOT JUST THE AIR AROUND HER.
I AM EXCITED TO POST MORE "JOURNAL" STYLE ENTRIES AND EVERYONE CAN CHOOSE TO READ OR JUST SKIM OVER THE PICTURES. EITHER WAY WE LOVE TO SHARE THE JOYS OF OUR FAMILY WITH Y'ALL!
