The monster is crawling!!

Deacon is finally crawling AND pulling himself up! He mastered both of these within a day or two of each other. It's crazy to walk around the house and hear him following me. It's even crazier to wake up in the morning and see him standing in the crib! His little face peeps over the edge and he says "Mama!" Very surreal. He's about to turn 9 months old and weighs 23 pounds. I can hardly lift him!

Crawling...

Standing (had to bribe him with my phone)

1 year ago today...

It's been a whole year since this:

Our apartment in Arizona looked like this:

But then we moved here: (we still don't have a yard!)

And I looked like this:

It's amazing how time flies! I can't believe a year ago Terry was graduating pharmacy school, and the next day we moved back to Utah. 3 months later I had Deacon and life has never been better! Life is so different now that we aren't students. I still expect to hear Terry say "I have to study" every time I suggest we do something. It's wonderful NOT to hear it! It's so good to be back with family and not have to take a plane or drive 12 hours just to see them for a few days. It's so nice (and a little weird) to be a "normal" family and do whatever we want because we're not studying!! I still mosey down to the basement and rummage through all my school stuff just to remember how fun school was. Terry does not. What a difference a year makes!

Who's Excited?

Watch the video. 'Nuff said.
