While Duncan was outside playing I snapped this picture of him. I think it is the cutest picture that I have taken of Duncan this year. Never mind that we are only 8 days into the new year!

We came out here to visit with Jamie’s family for awhile. Finally getting to meet them and them meet Duncan. We’ve been here for about four days now and we’re getting settled a bit. So, there you have it.

I know that I basically use this site for my Sims 3 updates but it is so weird sometimes that I am a mom to a 17 month old now. Seventeen months.

Our little Duncan is 16 months old today! Can you believe it?

My little man is 14 months old. 14! I can hardly believe the time that has flown by!

Duncan has found the bookshelf and he likes it! He mostly likes to take his toys out of there that we have put in there. However, sometimes he likes to look at his books. So far he has only taken one book out of the bookcase.

I know that it won’t last for very long since we have a pile of magazines on a computer tower where he plays and he loves to just knock them all down. Of course they are there for him to play with and make him feel like he’s being naughty.

This boy is a naughty little monkey for sure.

As you can see, I am trying out a new theme. I had the previous one for awhile and decided that it was time for a change. In lieu of the upcoming spring season, I decided to go a little brighter as well as trying out a one column layout. I don’t have much of a sidebar anymore so I figured why not try something new? New is always a good thing to go through.

Anyway, Jamie finally agreed to me redoing the dresser, end tables, and headboard of our bed this summer. I have yet to decide on a color to do for it but, whatever it is will be fun. I’m a very excited to start that project underway.

Summer is not going to be a time to sit on my rump and do nothing, I have vowed that much. Not only will we be going to the park and taking Ruby for walks but we have decided that we are going to get more done on the house by purchasing one piece of sheetrock at a time. No if ands or butts.

What are you planning on doing with the warmer seasons?

I loved not having to worry about the time changing and whether we would lose an hour or gain an hour. Would we relive an hour in the early morning or not?

I’m not feeling the spring in the spring forward that is for sure. In fact you can say that I am dragging tail really.

I need my hour back, especially when Duncan doesn’t want to cut me some slack and sleep in that extra hour. Oh no, he was still up at 7:30 this morning.

Duncan seriously loves his VTech Ladybug. I swear that is one of the first things that he crawls to to play with when I put him down on the floor.

It is quite loud and has a ton of different things for him to press. Also the handy pull string in which he has learned to pull and get the toy closer to him.

It is always amazing the different things he learns and so quickly.

This boy is growing up entirely too fast and I don’t like it.

This picture was shot 10 days ago today. Ten. One, Zero. He was kneeling in his crib.

I thought, oh I guess we better think about dropping down the mattress so when he starts pulling himself to a stand it won’t be dangerous.

Today I put him in there to lay blankets on the floor and I go back to look and I find him standing. Standing in his crib.

Now, he’s been half standing on his on his own for awhile now. So it isn’t totally unexpected.

When did he learn to pull himself up and stand?

The other day he was just getting the hang of getting into the crawling position. On the bed of course. This kid has no patience for the floor. I think because it’s hard. I don’t blame him.

Mats will remedy this and we’re getting them hopefully at the end of the month!

Why does he have to do everything at once?!
