2010

here is an update and some more pics.
Andy is still working at Duranglers, the fly fishing shop and is loving it! He gets paid to talk about fly fishing all day and to tie flies... must be rough! Oh and they have blog now that he writes for. Check it out at http://duranglers.com/wordpress/. Because its the winter and they have cut hours Andy is looking for another part time job. Until he finds one he has two days a week where he gets to stay home with August and work on his art. He is loving it!

I am now working 30 hours a week - not my ideal set up but i do enjoy my job and August is always with my mom or Andy while I am there so its not so bad. I am still planning on being a Doula I am just waiting till August is around 1 before I start working on getting established here. I am also learning a lot more about cooking. August has a number of allergies so my diet has been extremely limited. It has caused me to have to get creative and I have actually begun to really enjoy the challenge.

Now for August. His sleeping and eating schedule became extremely out of whack so we are now working on helping him get back onto one. He is still growing like crazy. He is now in 12-18 month old clothing. He still can't role over (probably because he is HUGE), but he is MAJORLY developing in every other way!

He has way out grown his chair
he now takes a bath in his duck tub and he LOVES it!

This is him in his cute new shark towel. He has outgrown his other baby ones.
He is working on tummy time. The only way he likes it is propped up on the boppy. SO lazy!
He loves to lay there and talk to himself. I love getting to watch him. So Cute.
We had a MAJOR snow storm! Here is Andy's car.
We had fun watching our neighbors dig their cars out.
Since there was over three days of major snow we mainly stayed in.
Andy and August worked on tying flies. It was so cute :)
We also did a lot of movie watching and just enjoying having quality family time!

Next week August goes for a check up so I will have more updates then...
