Life has been busy since Mom went back to school. I have been doing all sorts of new things.

I have been standing, crawling on my knees, and walking around things. I often say HI, shoes, mama, dada, and anah(Jonah). I'm going to be 1 tomorrow and I get to have a party on Saturday. Mommy says it is hard to believe that I've been around for a year. Well, besides my crazy hair and having to deal with a big brother things have been good here in South Dakota.

Well, summer went by really fast. I was very busy. I grew some since my 6 month check up.

I weighed 22 pounds and 10 ounces, and I was 28 3/4 inches at my 9 month check up. We went on a short family trip to Aberdeen SD. We camped in a cabin. It was one room and we cooked outside. The one night daddy woke me up and we went on a quick trip to the bathrooms. There was rain and 70 MPH winds with gusts up to 90MPH. Kinda freaked Jonah out a bit. While in Aberdeen we went to Story Book Land and to an enormous water park. I really liked the lazy river. Mommy went back to work in August. Jonah and I were sad that our days at home with Mom are over until Christmas break. I think Mommy cried a little the day she went back to work. We spent time this summer in Council BLuffs with Gracie and Grandma and Papa Juhl. We went swimming with Mommy's school friends and their kids. Jonah played tee ball. Best off all my bedroom. It is painted, curtained, and things are hanging on the wall. I think I would like my room more if I didn't have to sleep in it. Grandma J even came for a few days by herself. SHe rode a bus to Sioux Falls and we went with Mom and picked her up. She helped Mommy get a lot done on the house before she went back to work. Now I'm back at Grandma Janice's and jonah started Kindergarten. He thinks he is really big stuff getting to go to school. He said his first day was AWESOME and that he loves school. Maybe I'll get to go someday too.

8 months !

Wow! can you believe it...I'm 8-months-old today.

Well, I'm getting closer to my first birthday. Mom says that I'm going to break her heart when I turn one. I had a lot of fun over the 4th. I saw fire works, went swimming for the first time, hung out with my family, and played with Aunt Ali. She was here for 4 days. Mom and Dad are getting more done on the house. Hopefully soon it won't look like we're moving in. Dad got the trim hung around the living room and part of the dining room until he ran out. Mom did some more painting and staining this weekend. Daddy also cleaned out the shed and hung shelves...it actually looks kind of organized in there. Daddy said that Jonah and I get to go to Grandma Janice's this Saturday night. He's gonna take Mom out for their anniversary. Daddy said that they have been married for 11 years. That sure seems like a long time to me. Well, I need to go pick on my brother some more.
