Updates

Just thought I would give an update on what is going on in our lives...
We have decided we have lightweights for kids. Preston is 25 pounds and 33 inches at 20 months. Mikayla is 6 1/2 months and weighs about 14 pounds (I haven't measured her lately).
Preston weighs just a little more than my niece and nephew that are 9 and 10 months old! All in all, Preston is still a very busy, curious little boy who likes to see what else he can climb on top of and see what he can get into to get Mom and Dad to chase him (chase is his favorite game!) He had a nasty bug this last week and was not himself at all for about three days. It was the most sick he has ever been. For him to lay on the couch or on our lap for longer than a couple minutes tells us there is definately something wrong. Thankfully he has not been sick much in his 20 months of life. Only a couple colds and this yucky flu bug have been it! He is finally staying in nursery at church, not by his choice though. When I can sneak out after I take him in, and he realizes I am gone, he now cries a little bit, runs back and forth between the doors trying to get out, realizes he needs to give it up and goes and sits on one of the nursery leaders' laps the whole rest of the class. Well, we are atleast making progress. Hopefully soon, he will actually get down and enjoy himself!
Mikayla is trying so hard to crawl. She gets up on all fours and rocks, then moves one leg and falls down. Or she will try to do the army man crawl where she is flat on her belly and reaches for something and pulls herself with her arms. Regardless of her not fully crawling yet, she can get anywhere she wants pretty quickly. She always seems to find Ryan's flip flops across the living room and loves to chew on them. YUCK! I guess it feels good on her first tooth that is coming in on the bottom. Lately she has also started half way sitting up going from being on her belly to pushing up with her arm. AHH! I am in for it with two very busy, mobile kids!
Once again we are trying to decide where we would like to live and where would be best for Ryan to practice. It looks like either Utah or Idaho so we can be close to family. We are going to take a trip at the end of the month to check out Ogden, Utah area and Boise, Idaho. We will be able to see our friends the Petersons and their cute new little one, Ruby along with going to Ryan's brother's Wedding Reception. Congrats Uncle Troy and Aunt Dani!!
Wish us luck in finding a place to live!!
