he is now sitting in the cart like a big boy
Loves to play peek a boo and look in mirrors
he is sitting up on his own and rolling like crazy. he never stays where i put him.
he loves to giggle; especially at Blake
he decided to wean himself; which im not entirely excited about but it does give me some freedom and he is sleeping all through the night which is great!
he is getting quite the personality which is fun for everyone. he is no where near shy and is quite the old lady magnet when we are out.
He also thinks coughing and feet are especially funny.
Blake is working up in Oyen on a pipeline project which about 2 hours away from medicine hat. He has to stay over night, which is hard but this week he has got to come home every night as they had some complications and it was delayed so he didn't need to be there. hopefully the project will pick up and be completed before Christmas. Blake recieved a new calling in our ward. He is now the Elders Quorum president- which was a chanllenge for us both as he doesn't know anyone and so it was difficult to choose councellors so he relied on the bishops advice as well as in the Lord to make his decision. It's also hard for me- just another thing i have to share him with. That may sound selfish but moving to medicine hat was supposed to be good he was only supposed to be gone mon-fri 8-5 and he could have his evenings and weekends to spend with his family instead of studying like he had to while going to school. It's a challenge for Blake as work takes him away and he doesn't always have weekends off. He didn't want to refuse the calling as he thinks it will give him the chance to grow and get to know people here which is good.. it will just be a hard couple of months of trying to balance and relying on his coucellors to help him out.
Nothing is new with me. i'm currently teaching the primary kids ages 9-12. which is a challenge as they are mostly 11-12 year olds and done with being in Primary and just want to move up so its very hard to get their attention at times and to stay on track. it will be difficult now to have to take care of Ryker at the same time as Blake won't always have sundays off. I've been loving the warm weather and going out for walks with Ryker. He loves to be outside so i'm not looking forward to it getting colder. He loves bike rides and being able to see out the side of the bike trailer. funny how when i talk about me it always refers back to Ryker. He has become my life and its funny how he's pretty much all i talk about.
My friend Hawna recently moved into Medicine Hat from bowisland and she has a little boy as well. We have gone out for lunch and taken them to the park which has been fun and nice to get out of the house!
