Huston... We have lift off. This child went from not being able move forwards one day and getting incredibly frustrated because of it, to shooting across the room like it was no big deal in just one day. Literally, he couldn't crawl one day and he could the next. Bada-boom, bada-bing. Done. Our dogs were not prepared to have this little, immobile, squishy being all of the sudden coming after them full-force, and neither were Mom and Dad! We had to seriously baby-proof the house!
Speaking of houses, WE MOVED! Our new place is on a big farm where we can look out our back door and see all kinds of wildlife, including turkeys, deer, groundhogs, red tail hawks, coyotes, and we've even seen a fox! We have to be really careful about Fender with the hawks and coyotes lurking about, but Lakota is in doggy heaven. lol
Joshua has started a new job managing a 600 acre farm for King's Country Outfitters so he is incredibly busy and we don't get to see him very often. But, he is on a day-shift schedule now and we get to see him every night, at least for a few minutes before bed, so we are definitely thankful for that! Mommy is now basically a stay-at-home mom and I'm loving it! It does get a little lonely out here because I don't really know anyone just yet, but I'm sure we will acclimate to the area fairly quickly.

Every pretty day (which has been few and far between this ghastly winter) we spend outside exploring what nature has to offer. Elijah and Mommy have been on plenty of walks through the woods and, on really pretty days, Elijah even gets to sit in the grass and put things in his mouth that don't need to go there. lol Mommy and Daddy are both looking forward to spring and they have big plans for a garden and chickens and Daddy is even going to be putting green houses in our back yard! This new way of life is going to be an adventure for the whole family!
