Off to Grandmas!

Asa is taking his 1st trip to great grandmas this weekend. I am going to leave tomorrow morning with Asa and head to my grandmas for a grandma/granddaughter/great grandson visit until Sunday. I am very excited. I packed everything tonight, and am going to head there first thing tomorrow morning. Funny story...as i was packing i realized i needed to pack a pacifier and for some reason could only find the one in his crib. After a bit of searching, i though i might want to check behind the crib against the wall. Sure enough! There were 9 pacifiers back there! Now we know when they go missing where to look.

I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with grandma, and for her to be able to spend some quality time with Asa. I am also going to install Skype on her computer so once we get home we can have video dates so that she can see Asa real time.

Adam has to work on Friday night, and Saturday day so i don't think he will spend too much time missing Asa. Although, this will be the longest time he will be away from Asa since he was born, and i know that made him choke up a bit today!

Bon Voyage!

UPDATE: FINALLY!

Things have been going well at the Heeren home. Asa is growing like a a weed and learning how to do new things every day. He is rolling all over the place and VERY close to crawling. He pushes himself up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth like he is trying so hard to crawl. He then falls onto his stomach and reaches for whatever is in front of him, only to get back up on his hands and knees again. We have been feeding him some baby food and rice cereal and so far he loves squash and bananas. He has been flipping over in his bouncer, which means we can't use that toy anymore :(

Here is some of his acrobatic moves above in his bouncer chair, and below rolling all over the floor onto the carpet.

Also, i had posted a bit back about our new camera (Olympus). We had about a week or so of good use with the camera but i kept thinking that the pictures we were taking were so dark. We ended up getting together with Joe, Angel and Silas(SO MUCH FUN! The picture at the very top is of Silas and Asa together) last Sunday and Joe had bought Angel the Canon Rebel T1i for her birthday. i was able to compare the two cameras and found that the Canon took WAY better pictures. All of the pictures in this post were taken from the new Canon T1i camera. So Adam and i went out on Moneay and we swapped cameras for the Canon. Not only does it take better pictures, but it is MUCH more user friendly. I couldn't be happier with our new camera.

Asa LOVES the puppies. Chloe (above) sometimes is brave enough to get close to Asa, but she knows that if she walks too close that Asa will grab a chuck of her hair and PULL!

Asa has even taken a liking to Caeda and Chloe's food. If we put the dishes down for the dogs for dinner, he rolls himself over to them to see what they are eating.

Not much else is new here. Work is going well for both Adam and I. I am so blessed to be able to spend my days here with Asa, and for Adam to be here with me during the day as well. People keep saying that their kids grow up so fast, and although it is true, i feel like since we get to spend almost every waking moment of our lives with Asa that he has grown up slow, and both Adam and i LOVE that. The holidays came and went, and we had such a great first Christmas with our baby boy. Now it is going to be getting through the winter that is going to be long. We can't wait to get outside with him, take him to my parents pool and things like that. We are so thankful everyday for what we have, and know that things are only going to get better!

I know i know...i need to update my blog

I will try to post some new pics and maybe even a video soon. I really have no excuse except i am supposed to be working 24 hours a week, and these past two weeks i swear i have been working over 40...ridiculous! :)

Duty calls...back to work i go!
