Army crawling

I know it's been a long time, and all I can convince myself to write about is Jay. He can crawl. He has teeth.

He can crawl army style to pretty much anywhere he wants to go. So far he's been most interested in going outside. He almost crawled out the back door today. When I saw how excited he was, I raised the blinds on the lowest foot of the french door, and he crawled up to it and looked outside. When Kelsea had to take out some trash, he tried to follow her, and when she got back to the door, he was there watching for her, and I had move him, because he wouldn't back up so she could open the door.

He also has 7 teeth, and more coming in. He has four teeth on the top, and three on the bottom. We let him eat pretty much anything he wants. Tonight we had waffles with cool whip and strawberries. Strawberries are one of those things you aren't supposed to give kids until they're one, so I didn't give him any actual strawberries, and he loved it. Unfortunately, we gave him a slice of apple on Sunday, and he choked on it. We'll have to wait until he gets some molars before we try that again.

And, since the last post was about patching the whole in the wall, here are the woefully inadequate pictures I took.

funny, a friend of mine back in IL had a house that was built in the late 1800s and remodeled in the '20s. When he ripped out the drywall of the one bathroom, he found old newspapers from the '20s, so he continued his project only to find the whole downtstairs had been insulated with newspapers! crazy huh? I guess it must be more common than I'd originally thought, though

That is one nice patch. And it is nice to see you posting something again.

I'm impressed with your handyman skills. I need to learn to do those types of things.
