Blaine took his first steps at the beginning of December and was walking by his 9 month birthday.
We successfully made the move back to Arkansas in early December.
Todd started his new job the week following our move, and he is enjoying it very much (well, except for the drive!)
Christmas was great, although extremely busy. We had 5 or 6 separate Christmases, and I have posted those pictures on my facebook and myspace pages.
Blaine finally got his first tooth on the 1st of January. It was followed by the second tooth on the 2nd of January, and the third and fourth also came in the same week. Surprisingly enough, he really wasn't cranky about it at all!!
January has been pretty uneventful overall. We've just been trying to settle into some sort of routine.
Blaine is talking up a storm, which is really a lot of fun. He NEVER meets a stranger. He is always so friendly to the many people who stop to talk to him when we go places. When we left Florida, he only said 'bye bye'. Now he also says hi, bite, mama, dada, and uh-uh (for uh-oh). He will also moo like a cow if you ask him what the cow says, and he attempts to say ball and book. I never dreamed he would be this much fun!!
Here are a few pictures of our day at the park today. Todd's parents live just down the road from the city park, and they got Blaine a wagon for Christmas. Today was a beautiful day, so we decided to take the wagon for drive to the park. Blaine had a blast running around and playing with his ball!
