moving and potatoes...

Adey has tried potatoes...not her favorite.  but she was a sport and ate a few bites.  i have not given up and will try again for a third time probably later on this week.

She does like peas now.  i just have to mix half peas and half rice cereal.  she doesn't like baby oatmeal...she tried it for the first time last night but i will try again.  she continues to love her mum mums (rice cereal type thing that dissolves in her mouth).  she has also discovered gerber puffs...she likes the strawberry banana and sweet potato so far.  they are like the mum mums and dissolve.  i give them to her as a snack when i can not nurse her or in between feedings when it is not time to eat a meal.  she is getting so big.  we can hardly believe  that this friday she will already be 6 months...half a year old!  time is flying by but we love her each moment we spend with her.  she continues to love to look at books.  she can now sit up on her own with a few topples here and there.  still won't roll over from her back to her tummy.  she puts her feet in her mouth and bites on them.  she sleeps through the night (i think once we started her on solids she started sleeping through the night).  everything goes in her mouth.  she has a small white dot on her top gums where one of her middle teeth are trying to come through.  her hair is growing pretty fast now.  i am too excited to try pig tails on her soon when i get the pony tail holders that i want for her from Wal mart.  she is tickleshed on her thights and her arm pits and her ribs and the bottom of her feet.  we love getting her to laugh.  josh says when she gets to school the teacher is going to say her name quiet and normal and she is going to correct her because he always yells her name at her in a funny voice and she always always smiles.  it is quite cute!  she has long eye lashes now like mommy and beautiful eyes that you could just stair at.  she is always happy and gosh we love her too pieces!

josh is done with 2 weeks of school now.  things are almost all turned in for the school to give us back our money for the last 3-5 quarters of paying out of state tution.  that will hopefully help cover the spring quarter and put some money in our pocket.  he likes his classes and can now measure human bones and tell you how tall some one was from measuring a bone or two.  he loves it and i know he will excel when he is done with school.  i am glad he has found his passion!

so i think the word is now out!  WE ARE MOVING TO UTAH...in August.  Josh has applied to schools and already has gotten accepted to one...he still needs to turn in 2 other applications.  this week he is going to work on scholarships.  I have already researched some job opportunities...and gotten 2 applications of which i will fill out this week.  i have 3 letters of recommendations being written for me.  I really want to work for head start so i can have my summers off and still get paid and have long holiday breaks.  josh will probably work on his school campus again.  it pays enough and it is easiest for him.  plus he is always able to work on his home work which helps him stay ahead.  We will be living with his sister Malinda and her husband Evan and their two kids.  we will live in the basement of their new house (their parents 3 year old house that they are buying from them while their parents move into their new house with Josh's sister Clarissa and Alan and their three boys and Josh's mom's parents...full house).  my parents will be about 10 hours away so easier to travel and only a one hour time difference.  we will be close to a major airport so ticket won't be bad.  we will pay a cheap rent to malinda and evan and help out with food and watch their kids for them when needed and vice versa.  it will be nice to be closer to family.  we have cousins here and we are grateful to have gotten close to them...but we know we won't live her forever.  we want to live in st. george utah which will be about 4 hours south from where we will live the next 18 months (starting in august) for josh to finish school.  please pray that things will continue to work out for us as we prepare this move.

for now...enjoy the rest of the pictures from this week!
