Sean is walking. He is spontaneously letting go of things and walking 2-3 feet to things, or us. Tonight, he took about 9 steps to me. Of course, our video camera was deader than a doornail, so we’ll have to try to get a video tomorrow night. It’s unbelievable. Better get babyproofing!!!

We’ve never taken pictures of Sean in the bathtub, which is pretty shocking since he’s such a waterbaby. There’s also some before these of Sean and Reagan playing together.

Check out the cutest water-baby ever:

And…check out TWO teeth!

I’ve always admired Chris’s Goals postings and reviews and wondered if I could do them myself. Emily and I had some discussion on things that we would like to do. So here they are, in no particular order:

1) Except for our mortgage, we want to be debt free. This means student loans, credit cards, car payments, etc. in 2009. This is very possible and I think we can do this easily. Update: just paid off the credit cards.

2) start using that gym membership I paid for. I know its a very cliche but it needs to be done. I’ll set my goal to three days a week for 30 – 45 minutes. Doesn’t sound like much.

3) Paint the two guest rooms in the house and move the office to the 3rd floor.

4) Sell the motorcycle and find a safer toy After a coworker was hit on his scooter checking his mail, I think I’ll put 2 wheel hobbies at a rest and maybe, eventually, get back into something fun with four wheels.

Sean’s second tooth popped through this morning It’s the left bottom one. His two front teeth are getting ready to come any time now; his gums are swollen and red on the top. We can’t wait!

I had planned on taking 2 graduate classes this summer to complete the requirements for my school social work certification (right now I only have a temporary one). One of the classes at UK got cancelled, so I now have to take one class this spring, and one over the summer, which actually may turn out to be less stressful. The class I’m taking this Spring starts on Saturday. It’s an online class from Georgetown College, so it shouldn’t be too much hassle, seeing that I’m only required to login for 1 hour per week and just attend an orientation type class this Saturday. Everything’s on my own. Kind of nice, seeing that little Sean is so demanding of my time

So…it’s weird to be back in the “school life” but should be fun, and well worth it. I can get my Rank I after taking these 2 classes. Woohoo!

Ok ok ok Uncle Sean!!!

I finally got some time to edit pictures and videos of Sean from December and a little bit of this month so far. Here are three videos:

First, Christmas with Sean. Kind of a boring video, but may be nice for those who couldn’t be with the little one on Christmas day. Notice the cute red PJ’s from Stephen and Allison!

Next, his new fascination with blowing bubbles with his spit…didn’t learn this one from me…

And of course, his attempts at walking. Here are 4 attempts. I’m sure he’ll be running around the house within a few weeks. Our boy is getting way too big. Better turn down the volume or you’ll hear my “ecstatic mommy screams of encouragement” hehe.

Then, our Christmas pictures that we had taken at a local photographer. If you got a Christmas card (sorry if we missed you…I had a 3 year old address list…) you’ll recognize two of the pictures. When I was trying to order some of the pictures for family, Paul surprised me with pictures that he secretly had taken in November by Steph Carson (did Sean’s 1 month pictures and tons for Brian and Ashley). They are amazing and of course, I bawled my eyes out.

And here are some pictures of Sean and Opa doing manly things in the yard:

And a couple from January (in the 11th month folder):
