Bubbles of Fun!

Yesterday, Corey got his second haircut ever. Of course after a haircut, he got a bath. Every time I turned away Corey would grab the bar of soap and when I'd look, he would hide it. I did catch him chewing on it a couple of times. After I took it away, he would somehow find it again. I didn't realize that he bit a piece off of the bar until he started heaving and a big chunk of soap and his afternoon nap milk came up. Needless to say he wasn't interested in playing with the soap again. I think that he realized that he should maybe start listening to mom when she says "no". Poor kid!

Corey's first molar!!

I was playing with Corey a couple of nights ago. He was in my lap and I was tipping him backwards and then lifting him back up. He was just laughing and having so much fun. I tipped him again and in the light I saw a little glint of white in the back of his mouth, so I investigated some more. I felt his gums and discovered that the has sprouted his first molar! I checked the other side too, but there is nothing yet. But I could tell that the other one should be coming in soon. That explains his crankiness of late! I was pretty excited to find his first Molar.

Pictures of Chuck!

These pictures are not recent, but I forgot to post pictures of Chuck! He is now about nine months old and HUGE! I don't even try to pick him up. He is the biggest chicken of a dog! He is too scared to jump into the back of the truck and he runs from cows even though he is more than half their size and they are just curious of him, not chasing him. He is too smart for his own good! We have had to put in a zip-line for him to run on because he has found every possible way to get out of the yard and into the yard. He has opened and closed gates, opened windows and jumped through screens, and found every possible way to get over, under and through the fence around our yard (as if a half acre isn't enough room to run around!). Actually, the top picture is only about a month ago, so this is really how big he is... massive and still growing. But we love him anyway!

Big news!

And now for the third and final post of the day!
Devin and I have recently found out that I am pregnant!!! The baby is due July 23, 2009. I have had several doctor visits, and three ultrasound so far and everything is going good. At the first ultrasound visit I was told that the amniotic fluid was too low, so I had to drink LOTS of fluids. But all is good now.
Corey has learned how to say "bebe", but I don't think he quite understands that mommy is having a baby. Devin and I are very excited! I am still a little nervous, but I feel better that the doctors are monitoring me so closely.
I just love this holiday season and I hope that all of you are able to enjoy the spirit of the season. I also hope that you all have a great Christmas.

More Pictures!

This was a fun day! We just kept it small, my parents, Bronson, and Devin's parents were the only ones that came. We took him to the store and let him pick out his gift. I almost think that Devin had more fun with this whole birthday thing than Corey did! Devin made the "cake". I sent him to the store and he came back with Twinkies, a tube of black frosting, the "1" candle, and strawberry topping. It actually turned out really good and it looked quite interesting! I can't believe that it has been more than a year!!

Pictures

This is Corey's first fishing trip. He slept most of the time, but Devin and I had fun!
New teeth!
Smile!
Corey fell asleep in his jumper. I couldn't resist taking a picture!
This is Corey's first time swimming. He had a lot of fun splashing around after he got past the initial cold shock!

Well, I figured out the new camera...finally!! So I have a lot of pictures to post. More are coming.

Update

I just wanted to give everyone an update. Corey is now almost ten months old. He just gets cuter by the day!! He is now able to crawl, whistle, sit up alone, pull himself up to kneeling and standing, and walk with help. He is also sprouting his first tooth! I can see a little white spot in his gums (now it makes sense that he's been so grumpy). He is almost always smiling and he jsut love his daddy! Since he learned to crawl he hasn't stopped. It is a lot of fun to see all of the different stages and how he grows.
We also have another addition to the family. Chuck is our St. Bernard puppy who is bigger than any puppy should be! We have had him about two months and is about four months now. I think he weights about fifty pounds now, but I haven't put him on the scale. I just know that when he tries to jump on me he nearly knocks me down! I will post pictures of both him and Corey when I get them to my computer.
I hope that all is well with you all.
