First Steps!!!!

So, Ammon took his first 5 steps all by himself today. I was in shock and felt bad that Darren wasn't there. We were at our friends 'The Petersons' house for dinner and Ammon was laughing and having a good time walking around with Dave. Then later I held him up to just stand by himself and he took 5 steps on his own and then fell down. He hasn't done it again but I know that it's in him. I'm not going to encourage it because I'd like Darren to see him still learning but three weeks is a long time to wait! Here is a picture of Ammon standing on his own. I took this the other day right before he decided to sit.

My little drummer boy!

I got my drum out to play on the other day and Ammon was so happy to be able to bang on something that made loud noises. He will be a great drum player for the next Goodall reunion!

Can't Resist!

I just had to post a picture from 'my view' of what I look at every day. This is my pregnant belly sticking out and Ammon begging me to pick him up. I walk around most of the day with him attached to my pant legs and begging for some attention. I have to be selective in bending over to pick him up or I can't walk by the end of the day. How could anyone resist this face though...

Yum Yum!!

Our back yard has a little planting area with wood chips and dirt. I brought Ammon out to play while I hung out the laundry and he had a good time playing in the dirt. He played with it for awhile and then decided to taste it. He didn't like the taste, but as soon as I don't want him eating something he thinks it's a game and keeps trying to eat it.

Craft Time

I crocheted some wash cloths for my friend Rachel that is getting married. I thought they turned out cute. Krista and I made some for the family reunion but I didn't prefer the pattern with the large holes in it and so I made up my own pattern. I did a row of single crochet, then double crochet (picking up the back stitch so it makes the row stick out) and just switched that off every other one. It took a lot longer but I like the way they turned out. Then I did a single crochet around the edge.
