Jamie is walking all over the place and loves to play with Mom's shoes. It is funny, when Jamie started walking it was all of a sudden. Not just taking 1 or 2 steps and falling down but up and running. We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Christensen's and he saw Brayden and Elena walking and said "I can do that" and the within 2 days he was walking. Now he is cruising like a Pro. His most recent obsession is walking around with shoes. Not his own of course, but with Mom or Dad's sandals. From one end of the house to the other and back again with a shoe in each hand. He doesn't go quietly, he's full of babble and giggles. Eventually we have a trail of shoes all over the house. He's a funny one for sure.

Third Rock from the Sun

There is a song by Joe Diffie, called Third Rock from the Sun.

Jamie was going crazy spinning and spinning tonight, and I couldn't help but think about this song. The chorus specifically:

"Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the choas makes perfect sense

When you're SPINNING round, things come undone

Welcome to Earththird rock from the sun."

Anyway, I thought it was really funny and thought I'd share.

We went shopping today. We finely came up with a solution for our table cloth. PLASTIC! Plastic will cover any cool and cute fabric for our table cloth. This piece will last longer than a day and we have enough to put under Jamie to protect the carpet. BRILLIANT! And kinda cute, don't you think?

Sleeping on the couch

Jamie was grumpy the other day and I was on the couch, but he wouldn't go to sleep in his room. So I laid on the couch and he came up beside me and fussed himself to sleep. And this is how he slept, one foot supporting him on the floor and everything else on the couch. Surprisingly he stayed that way for awhile before he started to squirm.

Impromptu camping trip

Our AC went out last week. So, we got a swap cooler from Dad and turned on all our fans. We decided to sleep downstairs on the futon, after trying unsuccessfully to cool our bedroom. Thankfully the motor was fixed very quickly and is working just fine now.

Of course Jamie slept with us and took over the bed.

My son

Jamie is such a dork! This is his new favorite crawl. Unless you have something he wants really bad, he'll just take his time . . .

Notice when he comes back around the coordination between his arms and legs. Hilarious!

We've got a walker!

Not to be outdone by Brayden or Elena, Jamie has decided to walk himself. Only very short distances, but walking is walking!
