Going Private

In light of this we have decided to make our blog private.

8/6/09

Jason and I went on our first date night last night since my mom was in town. Jason knew I wanted to see My Sisters Keeper so he suggested for us to go see it. As it turns out that movie has already come and gone so we settled on Public Enemies. About half way through the movie it started making an annoying ticking sound. Jason went to the front to let them know and about 10 minutes later they came in and said they were fixing it and it would be about 5-10 minutes. Well 2o minutes later the movie still wasn't going and neither Jason and I thought the movie was that great so we opted to leave and get our money back. We didn't want to be there till midnight (assuming the eventually got it working), especially since I had just committed to running with the neighbor each morning at 6:30!

So the date night was a bit of a bust, but at least we attempted to go out.

It felt really good to get in a good morning job before starting my day!

Evacuation

On Thursday Blythe and I had a play date in South College Station. Little did we know that we were exactly where we needed to be. At about noon on Thursday a nearby chemical plant caught fire and all of Bryan and part of College Station were ordered to evacuate.

Jennifer Cabezas saw the news on the TV and called to make sure we were aware that we had orders to evacuate. We were not aware of the chemical plant fire so thank goodness she called so I didn't come home and put Blythe down for a nap. The Cabezas told us that we could evacuate to their house so I called Jason and he grabbed Luke and a couple of items and headed to their house. The news was not giving any indication as to how long the evacuation might last. I was hoping that school/work would be canceled on Friday as the Cabezas were up for a slumber party. We ended up being released back into our house at 7:30pm so we went ahead and came home so I could get up and go to work in the morning :(. Who would have thought little old Bryan, Texas would be evacuated!

Teetering to Toddlerhood

Blythe is on the homestretch of babyhood. She is now 11 months old and she took her first steps yesterday. She is quickly transforming from a baby to a toddler, ready or not.

Blythe was standing at the coffee table holding the remote and she turned and took 4 steps towards Jason, luckily I was standing nearby so I caught the last 2!

It is amazing how far Blythe has come with her stability in the last week. Just 2 weeks ago Jason and I were making the comment that we didn't think Blythe was anywhere near walking and we would be surprised if she was walking by her birthday and now she has made those first steps. We shall see how long it takes her to master the art of walking.

Talking and Teething

Blythe now has several words in her vocabulary:

First Word: Ball (pronounced Dall)
2) All Done
3) Bye, Bye (Dye, Dye)
4) Uh-OH (pronounced UH and sometimes UH-AH)...still working on that one
- she says momma and dada as well

Blythe now has THREE 1/2 teeth. Her bottom 2 came in together yesterday and the second one on the top is oh so close...we can see it, we just can't feel it.

First TOOTH

I spoke too soon. We noticed swelling and white on the top left hand side of Blythe's gums on Friday. The tooth looked like it would break though anyday and today is the day! Blythe has her first tooth!

She seemed to teeth pretty easy with this first one so lets hope this is a pattern that repeats.
