Ok, so everyone is probably wondering why I am reverting back to this blog instead of that new website. Well, I decided I liked this website better for the blogs and that just posting a link to our pictures was much easier and the Freewebs.com was continually freezing my computer. So here we are again.
A lot has happened in the past few weeks with our family. Little miss Alyvia is officially in the crawling stages and is going every where. She took her sweet time in crawling which I personally thought she never would begin. For over 2 months she would get on all fours and rock back and forth but never made the effort to move beyond that, and then she started crawling on the 1st and just jumped right into. I think once she realized that she could go where she wanted she just made the extra effort to move faster. She now is getting into everything and follows Brock every where. She has learned that the tile in the kitchen is slippery so she can slide around with out really crawling and that the cabinets in the kitchen are really fun to open and close. Brock also so kindly showed Aly where the stairs are, so we are constantly having to grab her and put her back in the living room. And she also found what used to be Brocks favorite thing to play with "SHOES"! If there is a shoe in sight, off she goes to grab it. James and I decided that at this age she is more of a daredevil then Brock ever was. She also can pull herself to a standing position from the couches and chairs and from her crib. She is even taking a few steps while holding on to things. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she will walk sooner then later.
Brock is doing great! He is such a great big brother and absolutely loves that his sister is mobile now. He is always playing with her and he likes to sit with his feet against Aly's feet and they pass toys back and forth together. Its priceless!!! School is great for him which he still loves going. He has made so many new friends these past few months. I love getting his weekly arts and crafts that we post on the refrigerator and listening to him tell us about his day. He is still doing Soccer which each week he seems more and more interested in playing. I am just so proud of him. Each day he is growing up more and showing a whole new side of him. We have been going to the park in Mountains Edge on the weekends and watching him play is so much fun. Last weekend James and Brock climbed that little mountain and he was so excited that the next day he wanted to do it again. He is also being more daring and trying to mimic the older kids around and scaring a few years off my life. I keep telling myself he is a boy and this is what boys do!
James and I are doing great. Almost two weeks ago we had a family member passed away from James side and that was very hard to deal with. Also my dad had a small heart attack last week and I haven't been that scared in a long time. He is doing great now and working on getting more healthier, but that didn't stop all the worrying I had going on inside. You have all these thoughts going on in your head about what if the outcome had been different does he know how much we love him and how important he is to us? Its been a little difficult taking this all in but its made us stronger as a couple and a family and its making us really open our eyes on what we normally take for granted. We are thankful to each and everyone of our family members and friends that are in our lives and we love you all very much. We are also taking the time to sit down and play with the kids just a little longer then we normally would, we eat at the dinner table every night together and we say "I love you" to each other so much more often. You just never know what tomorrow holds for us.
Now on to more happier thoughts there's nothing else really new going on in our household. We are all doing great, really looking forward to Christmas this year. We are hoping to get up to the mountains once it starts snowing soon. Hope everyone is doing wonderful and we give our love to you all!!!!
Love always,
The Morris Family
