8 teeth!

Wow, things around here have gone crazy, not only did we get a cat to add to the three dogs and one baby, but our jobs are about to turn with the season... Charlie will exchange graveyard grooming on Aspen Mtn. for weekdays doing excavation – meaning I will go from two days a week for 12 hours a day and the occasional 5 hour thursdays, to 6 hour days on the weekends... less hours and pay for me, but more time as a family together :-)
David has had teeth coming in by the pair! As soon as two come in two more are on the way, four top and now coming into four bottom! His first b-day will be so much fun! I am designing the invite and the "newsletter/thank you" for xmas and this season to send out next week... boy I better hurry! I can't wait to let him eat his first birthday cake :-D
I have been working at home on a paper as well and will be more involved soon, so I promise to get pics out and invites sent by next weekend, before I get too wrapped up.
Roo (the cat) has carved herself a nice place in the family, she keeps both Cole and Vodka on their toes as she is not afraid to keep them away from the office (her room) or to attack them in either a fun sport or malicious act of dominance... we aren't sure yet, lol! She stays clear of Kermit as he is not so coy as Cole and Vodka are when it comes to territory. It cracks me up when I have to yell at the cat to quit picking on the dogs! Roo even let David pet her... all on her own the other day when she climbed into a chair in "baby land"... he cried when I told him not to grab her face (such a sweet boy -he is still learning though), but got over it as I showed him how to pet her nice, he even gave her a few hugs... he gets so excited when he sees her.
David is still afraid to try walking, but has "accidentally" let go of my leg and stood for a second on his own, and just today he took one step with no help or support from the coffee table to me!!! I shouldn't be so excited... I know.
More antics to come... hope you are all doing well.

    You SHOULD be excited. Each new milestone is a reason to get excited. Thats one of the reasons we become parents, to find new reasons to be proud of someone and ourselves for being that great mom/dad who is there for our kids! You are doing a great job.
