Goltry Life...

I can't even believe how fast time goes by now. The days are a blur, the weeks come and go like nothin', and the months fly by...I can barely take it all in!  They say time flies when you are having fun...my life seems to be a whirlwind...so I guess I'm having a blast. :) I get to hang out with my sweet boy 6 days a week, and only work one day.  The day I work, Justus gets to go spend time at the "Goltry Farm!" He loves it! He gets so much love and attention over there.  We LOVE when dad gets home...I get a little break, and Justus gets tons of fun and energy from him! :)  The kid is totally mobile and wants to learn and get into EVERYTHING...I can hardly keep up!  He pulls himself up and cruises around coffee tables and along the couch.  He loves when you crawl around with him and play chase. :)  He cut his first tooth on October 22nd...the front bottom right.  These have been some of the roughest nights, but at the same time...so amazing! Everything is just happening so fast...He is turning in to a little boy so quickly! 

Lord, help me to breathe and enjoy every moment! :)

Justus...you have some pretty big shoes to fill...your daddy is a STUD! :)

A couple weeks ago, our sprinklers needed a little fixin'...I went outside and found this...

It was a "Dirty Day!"

Yes...Nick was letting Justus chew on an onion!

Justus learning sprinkler work from the master!

He loved the dirt so so much!

Loved it so so much...he had to try some! :)

Yes...I was having anxiety out there...so...

It was time to clean up...and Justus was bummed!

Love Love his sweet smiles!

Dad made a fire in the back yard...Justus was mesmerized

When the kid went to sleep, Nick & I  watched "The Office" out by the fire... Amazing!

Happy 9 Months Justus!!!!

What a beautiful time of year...FALL! I love it! You have officially seen all 4 seasons! Time is going by so so fast, I can't even believe it! I am so sad, and want to pause and rewind the time, yet I am so blessed and filled with joy by you! I am so proud of you and so excited to see you learning and growing!

Some things you have been doing...

~You get around by your sweet little "army crawl" 

Today, I was eating my lunch and you scooted all the way across the living room, and under the table to get to my feet! :)

~You can sit your self up 

Last week I laid you on your tummy, and a few moments later I looked at you, and you were sitting up!

~You pull your self up to stand in your crib

Dad put you down this past weekend for a nap. Things were quiet, and he just went in to check on you, figuring you were sleeping.  But no...he walked in to you standing up! Out came the wrenches, and down went your mattress! :)

~You have a sweet "fake laugh"

~You love your home-made baby food...especially peaches

~You still don't have any teeth! :) 

~The past few nights, you have only woken up once

~You love when both mom and dad play with you 

~You love walks

~You like flicking door stops, turning our stereo knobs, and exploring the house

~You do a cute "sharp tongue" face

~You like to flex your huge muscles

~When you get excited, you wrinkle up your nose and breath through your nostrils really fast!

I started this post in the morning...since then...

  ~You have learned to crawl on your knees!

I was getting my hair done, and dad witnessed you "crawling" for the first time

~Dad also taught you how to Scream with excitement!

You are getting more and more fun by the day! 

WE LOVE YOU SWEET BOY!

More Catching Up On Life...

Dedication

On August 28th, we got Justus dedicated at church. We wanted to give him back to the Lord, and make a public statement that we are going to do our best to raise him in a Godly home. Poor Nick woke up that morning with a migraine, but with lots of prayers, he didn't barf on stage and he ended up feeling better!  Most of our friends and family came out to support us! Thank you all, and we will continue to need your prayers in raising Justus! It was a crazy-busy time and unfortunately we hardly got any pictures, here are just a couple...

Camping

We took Justus on his 2nd camping trip to Boulder Basin labor day weekend. It was hard but fun. Justus had a TERRIBLE time sleeping 2 of the nights.  He would wake up and scream and would only calm down if I fed him.  Nick decided to make a new "tent pad" further into our camp site, in hopes Justus wouldn't be so loud for the other campers, and for extra privacy.  After a few hours of work...moving logs, digging and evening out the terrain, we were ready for our move. We moved our tent, and the 3rd night, Justus slept amazing. He only woke up once, but then we were woken up by rain @ like 5:00am! We were worried that because Nick moved all this fresh dirt, we would end up in a mud slide. :) We got up, checked things out, cleaned up our site so our things wouldn't get ruined in the rain, and tried to go back to sleep. We couldn't fall back asleep so we ended up just packing up. :) We still had fun though...we went hiking, played some canasta (Nick beat me both times), played smashball, ate s'mores, and relaxed! Nick even took Justus out hiking and let me snag a nap! Oh so wonderful! Justus is kind of at a hard age for camping, he's not quite old enough to walk around and enjoy things, but he wants everything and wants to be mobile.
