My How Time Flies

It's been a while since my last update, and I have a lot to report on (I'm sure I'll miss some things).

I'll start with Holden...

He's 6 months old now, and really turning into a handful. He wants to move everywhere, but hasn't figured out crawling yet. Now that doesn't mean he can't get around; through a series of barrel rolls and scoots, he can navigate his way to pretty much anything. He enjoys sitting up and playing, as shown in the video below.



He has started on baby food, and really enjoys it.  He makes funny grunting noises while he eats, and not because he's in distress, it's because he's enjoying himself.



Carson continues his journey from toddler to boy.  He enjoys going to school twice a week and is always asking us to sign him up for soccer.  He still loves hockey and can't get enough Spider-Man.  His 3rd birthday was a Spider-Man party, including a Spider-Man cake.


Carson went to the dentist for the first time recently.  He was a bit apprehensive at first, but once things got going, everything was great.  He enjoyed holding the suction tube the best.  On his way out of the office, he got to pick a toy from a jar.  To the surprise of absolutely no one, he picked a spider.



Two things Carson enjoys are Kinect on the XBox and his Harley Davidson Power Wheel.  Here are videos of him enjoying both.





Carson loves his baby brother Holden, and Holden loves his big brother Carson.  They both light up when they see each other (Holden more than Carson).  Carson is the only one who can make Holden laugh and smile pretty much any time he wants.


As for the rest of us, Brittany turned the big 3-0 on the 5th of April.  We had a party at Triumph grill with our friends and had a great time.  Other than that, she continues to do the often thankless job of a stay-at-home mom.  It doesn't go unnoticed though, we all love her and are very thankful to have her in our lives.


As for me, I'm still plugging along.  I started a new position at Boeing in February, moving from Engineering to IT.  So far it's been great; I like the work and the people.  I will miss my old group though, they were a great group of people to work with.

As I said earlier, I'm sure I missed some stuff, but that's all for now.  I would like to post on a more frequent basis, so stay tuned and see if I actually do that.

Also, I started a garden in my yard and I'm documenting the progress.  You can follow along here
