He's Self-Propelled!!!

AND COLBY CAN CRAWL!!! : )

He finally figured it out for real, no more army crawling or scootin on his tushie! The boy is movin & groovin all over the house!! So very cute, and Ryan thinks it's hilarious!! It's really fun to watch him, I love watching babies crawl. Adorable! And he's so proud!! Last week he discovered he could sit up from laying down, and he clapped & clapped!! Yay!! So now he's REALLY happy with himself! Good Boy!! He's eatin all kinds of real food now, loves cheese. : ) When he gets a bite of something he likes, he claps everytime. : ) Happy boy!! So now he's got 6 teeth & crawls. Whew, what a month! He's picking things up with his little index finger & thumb, how cute is that! Gets so excited, he just squeals! So hard to believe my baby boy will be 9 mos old this weekend. Time sure flies. :)

Ryan's doin great, growing so big and talking in paragraphs. He has been mowing the grass, fixing the couch (!?! and everything else), folding clothes, reading books, and about anything else he thinks looks fun! Such a big boy. Got to spend the night at BooBoo & PaPaw's house this weekend, took his lawn mower with to help PaPaw!! That boy has put THOUSANDS of miles on his $5.00 mower from K-Mart. It's great. He got to "drive" my dad's boat, would sit in there for hours. And his truck too! Helped mom get groceries, such a helper!! He's so smart, the things he comes up with & remembers is awesome. Very fun kiddo. Loves Tootsie Rolls. : )

We're all doin good. Nate's birthday is on Saturday, so we're deciding what we want to do. We may go to Grand Island, we'll see! Other than takin care of those sweet babies, we've just been hanging out. Playing outside alot. We did some painting in the house, still have some more to do...and maybe redo. I painted a "chalkboard" on a wall downstairs, Ryan LOVES that! Very cool. The rest of the basement will be done someday! It's fun! What a difference a coat of paint can make! Our house is no longer just white. : ) Put up some new ceiling fans & light fixtures, just a small facelift! Enjoy the zillion pictures!!
