HOUSTON, WE HAVE A CRAWLER AND LOTS OF NEW NEWS!

So much has happened these past few weeks. First of all, Congrats to Nick and Laura Harmon on the birth of Caraline Elizabeth!! We haven't meet her yet, but from the pictures, she's adorable! We may have to set up an arranged marriage...:)

Blaine has started crawling! He just started really going semi-significant distances two days ago. The funny part is when he gets tired, he resorts back to rolling to get around.

Also, Grandmother Raborn passed away last Saturday night. This week has been sad and happy all at the same time. It's been fun to hang out with family and friends; Jeff and Sabrina stayed with us for a night and that was fun! And we know that Grandmother is definetly in a better place, so I think that makes things a little easier for Scott and family!

Lastly, Gigi is coming to visit next weekend and we are making a trip to MS pretty soon. Gigi is flying in this coming Friday. Since Scott and I are walking to half marathon in Austin on Sunday, Gigi is going to be keeping Blaine. And...we have decided it's been too long since we've been to Mississippi, so we'll be going back in March for a week and a half! Woohoo! I can't wait!

Enjoy the pictures from the past month or so.....

Blaine and daddy waiting for the Alabama/Texas game. We were able to watch the game with some dear friends, The Nelsons. ROLL TIDE ROLL! NATIONAL CHAMPS!

Blaine is 9 months old (1/22/2010)

He wasn't too excited about having to take pictures.

Aunt Madison painted theses pictures for Blaine's room.

They are all so adorable.

Aunt Madison is so talented.

All these pictures are hanging in Blaine's room.

I've been meaning to post pictures of them forever. Of course, I'm just now remembering.

Two days after Daddy lowered Blaine's bed, I went into his room one morning to get him and he was standing in his crib waiting:). Thank goodness Daddy lowered his bed when he did.

So I've gotten back into couponing and this was one of my runs. I got $114.82 worth of groceries from Kroger for $43.09....yeah, I saved $71.73! That sure beats even Walmart prices! I'm not sure if you can see what all I got but this run included Tide detergent, Brawny paper towel, Quilted Northern toilet paper, chicken, and 4 bags of cheese. Some of the highlight items I got were mustards for .19 each, 4-Hunts tomatoes for .80, a box of cereal for .19, a box of Toaster Strudels for .22 and a tub of I can't believe it's not butter for FREE!!!! Yeah, I'm addicted!

Blaine loves playing in the closet!

And I think he loves shoes like his mommy does!
