Jaeden is on the move, and while he's not quite fast enough to outrun Mom and Dad, he is discovering new things all the time.
We thought leaving him in the living room with all his toys would be enough for Jaeden, but he is a people person, and just can't get enough of Daddy, so he decided to join him in the office.
But then that got old, so Jaeden went on to explore even more interesting things.
As for Matt and I, well we have finally made that great couple purchase of our first new bed. You may think that this is an insignificant purchase, but when you have been sleeping on a futon for years, it feels like a little bit of Heaven. We purchased everything new... the bed frame, the mattress, and even the mattress cover, sheets, and pillows. I didn't know what to think turning over and not feeling any back pain. Matt kept asking me what I thought of the bed as we first laid down. All I can say is that it was so comfortable, I didn't even notice the bed and had to pause to think about it-- I was that comfortable!

...and we're back!
So there was a few weeks between this post and last, but it was only partly my fault... lots has happened, including the loss of our camera! We got last minutes flights to go visit my family in Utah, so that they could meet Jaeden, and it was SOOO fun! Jaeden LOVES his cousins, and they loved him. Coleman would constantly try to play with Jaeden, and Walker would just sit there and talk to him, play with him, and make him smile, all the time. Jaeden was in Heaven, and had serious withdrawals when we left. He loved being with Grandma and Grandpa Memmott, and was loving the smiles and hugs and kisses from them! We caught Jaeden like this one morning in Utah (fast asleep). Apparently he was praying... or something :).
One of the funniest parts of the vacation was watching my Nephews (Jackson and Walker) playing the dancing game on the Wii:
Yes, that is "girls just wanna have fun", and yes, Jackson is getting REALLY into it. (By the way, it's kinda dark, but you can see it better if you watch it full screen, I think...) Renee was also so happy to record this family memory, too, can't you tell?
Grandma and Grandpa Memmott were so wonderful to Renee and I too! They took everyone who was home (sorry James) to the Mandarin (which is my FAVORITE Chinese restaurant, in Bountiful, UT). The kids were getting a little bored, so my sister Kimi decided to play with my sister Hilary's youngest son, Landon. (Landon was the one Jaeden would just watch constantly, totally wishing that he could join in running around yelling). Kimi decided to show Landon a few magic tricks with his cup, and his response was hilarious! He was absolutely AMAZED at Kimi's magic!
And finally a couple last pictures of Jaeden:
Jaeden's two teeth, thanks to Daddy being tricky with him! (don't worry, I did eventually give him his food...)
Um... this is why I'm glad Jaeden is a boy... this kind of love-sick look on Zoe's face is some other dad's problem. Jaeden, the heart-breaker!
And finally, the reason I was a bit too distracted to blog last week. Renee and I had just gotten home from shopping, put Jaeden in his crib, and were starting to move to other things. Suddenly, I heard a huge crashing noise, (as if all the cabinets in the kitchen fell at the same time), Renee screamed, and Jaeden screamed all at once. Fearing the worst, I ran into the kitchen only to see Renee, totally shaken up, pointing out the window. Apparently a storm from the week before washed out the roots to this massive tree, and it FELL on our house! Yikes. We got it mostly taken care of, and hopefully the home insurance will cover it. We'll see.
Other than that, life is good, spring is here, and Jaeden is as cute as ever!
