New House and New Teeth!!!

It has been a very busy month, we move into our new home this weekend..can't wait! It is a great place and there is tons of room and a nice backyard space for Duke to play.

Also, Duke has cut his top two teeth in the past few days, one is out and the other is almost showing. Poor little guy has been in some pain but seems to be doing much better now that they are almost out.

He is all over the place and his new favorite thing to do is to turn off and on the TV, which he figured out how to do a few weeks ago. At the new place we will have the TV up on the wall so he can't reach it. Hard to believe he will be 9 months next week, we will have his 9 month check-up soon and I can't wait to see how much he has grown in the past few months. He has been eating more and more finger foods and some of his favorites so far are bread and cheese (just like mom and dad).

As always he is so cute, has a great personality and gets more fun everyday....We adore him and can't imagine our life without him now.

Duke and Great Aunt Barney

Duke, my mom, and I went over for a visit to Aunt Barney's house this weekend. It was fun to have all the different generations together. Since Duke does not have any living great-grandparents this was a close second and we had a such a nice time.
Thanks again Aunt Barney for having us over, Duke had a great time crawling all around on house ...he loves exploring new areas.
We look forward to seeing you again soon....

8 Months!!!!

Wow, what a month it has been....Duke was 8 months on Friday and is so fun..he has a great personality and is always on the move now. He is crawling, standing, and getting into everything. He also talks up a storm and his favorite words so far are Dada and Baba...can't wait for him to say mama...He also started eating finger foods, so it is fun to watch him feed himself and I am having a good time finding new foods to have him try.

We have bought our first house in Laguna Niguel and hope to close escrow this week. Can't wait for Duke to have more room to explore and to have a yard where he can play. We hope to move in by March 1st. Rick's Birthday is on February 18th, so it will be a great birthday present for him.

Here are some pics of what we have been up to the last month.

It is hilarious, if you say fish face this is what he does...haha
