Crawling?

Hi everyone. No, Benjamin is not crawling yet...but he is on the cusp of moving and shaking. He's getting pretty good at pulling with his arms and hands and is starting to push one leg (knee) up....he'll get it soon enough. He is so cute. We really enjoy bringing him into bed with us on weekend mornings. He just plays around and is so much fun to watch. It is crazy how much you can be entertained my someone who can't talk!

Speaking of talking, Benjamin and I started sign language classes this week. We go every wednesday for the next 9 weeks for a "play session" with other babies his age. We learn 10 signs per week with the hope that 12 or so will stick with him by the end of the session. It's pretty cool...I will be excited when he can communicate with me a little better--without having to fuss! He hasn't caught on to anything yet, but we are working hard and hoping it won't be too long until he can at least let me know he is hungry. (Not that I have a hard time figuring that out already :)

I guess that is it for now. Pretty low key week for us here in Colorado. Actually, we were supposed to get 12-18 inches of snow on Friday. They forecasted it all week....on Thursday the government shut down for Friday, people were staying in hotels so they could get to work on Friday, and United and Frontier canceled 90 flights......I felt like I was back in Tennessee where everyone makes plans based on forecasts. Needless to say, we didn't get ANYTHING...I mean, not even a light dusting. I wish I could make the salary the weatherman does and be that wrong!! Oh well, I'm really glad it didn't snow...I'm so sick of the cold this winter.

Congrats to my brother on being offered a new job/promotion. Way to go!

Also, we have taken our house off the market. We'll probably do it FSBO in the fall or something..so if you know anyone who is moving to Colorado, let us know!!

Ok, that really is it for now. Hope everyone had a nice and healthy week. I'll try and write more soon :)
