Crawling Everywhere!

First off, we had Joshua's 9 month pictures taken today. To see those, go to www.babyboophotography.com, choose client proofing, password is waldroup, and type an email address. He was not in the best mood, but there are still some cute ones.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

We spent Thanksgiving in Owensboro with Andy's family. We enjoyed getting to see Mimi and Pops as well as Andy's grandmother's, aunt, uncle and cousins. Lee was gracious to buy a high chair just like the one we have, so he ate great. With the excersaucer they already had, we didn't have to pack hardly any baby gear...which as awesome! She also had a silver baby spoon. He wasn't born with it in his mouth, but he sure put it there on his first Thanksgiving dinner :).

On the way back, we stopped to visit the Hoskins, close family friends of the Waldroup's, who were visiting from Georgia. We also visited Andy's Uncle Vaughn and Aunt Lina and cousin Sam a few weeks ago.

In case you hadn't heard, we are working on selling our house and moving back to Lexington, since Andy's now working at UK. It's exciting, but it's been quite a challenge to get the house in showable form when someone calls to see it. We put up the Christmas decorations last week (in a terrible rush on Tuesday night since someone wanted to see the house Wednesday), but it did free up our weekend. Joshua likes the Christmas tree, but he loves the dancing Santa. He makes a bee line for it every time he's on the floor in our living room. I need to take a video because he bounces ad taps his hand on the harth to the music. It is adorable.

After a couple weeks or rocking on his hands and knees, Joshua officially started crawling last Monday...and boy has our world changed! We had been warned by about every parent we know, but you just can't quite prepare yourself. He loves garbage cans, any type or cord, and closing doors. Here's a picture of when he crawled in the pantry and pulled a can of coke out of the package. I thought it was too cute when he put it to his mouth and placed my bets that he couldn't chew it open before I got back with the camera.
