Firsts

Lots of firsts have happened these last couple of weeks. We spent our FIRST night in our FIRST home on October 15th. We signed the papers to close yesterday, the 28th. Eli sat up for the FIRST time on Friday, October 23rd. He is so close to crawling and gets around pretty good. Joy is beginning to put sounds together to read words and read her FIRST book on Sunday, October 25th. It was "Hop on Pop." Lucy doesn't have any "Firsts," but she's really picking up on knowing her shapes and colors. Today, she was pretending to be asleep in the car when I came home from running errands. At first she had me fooled, but then I heard hiccup....hiccup, and I saw her peek. So I carried her to bed and she ended up falling asleep for reals. Sweet! Lastly, we left all 3 kids with a babysitter (other than family) for the FIRST time and went out to eat for my Birthday. We've been pretty busy these last few weeks and still have a few boxes to unpack and pictures to put on the walls. We have awesome neighbors and are in a nice little neighborhood. We've gotten several plates of cookies and one of our neighbors brought us dinner on our first night in our home. We're pretty happy and look forward to making new friends here.
