Do all babies do this?

Remember the "bitter beer face" commercial? Ary has been a little Jim Carey lately pulling this face and it cracks me up every time.



I've seen babies do this before too and can't understand how they stay asleep in such an awkward position. Ary has started to roll onto her belly while she sleeps and somehow managed not to kink her neck:).



I enjoyed the newborn stage when she was so tiny and the clothes and diapers were tiny too, but this stage is so much fun now that Ary has some spunk. It's fun to be able to interact more with her. We now take fewer naps and play more, eat rice cereal from a spoon, *almost* sit up alone, and put whatever fits into those little fists straight to her mouth. She loves playing with Schroeder and hanging out with grandmas and grandpas too.

October 09 recap

This post is more for me just to be able to look back on and see a few more "firsts". Things around here are still mostly the same as ever, we have lots of days like this,
but for the most part we are all healthy and happy. Ary has been eating rice cereal
and has obviously not quite known what to think of it, but I think we're learning to like it slowly.
Jed has been busy with work, school, basketball, and his calling with the priests, so Ary enjoys time with him when they hang out in the evenings.
He is done with statistics and next semester will be moving on to pathology. This one-class-at-a-time stuff gets tedious for all of us, but Qwest helps pay for it as long as it doesn't interfere with his work schedule so we're not complaining too much. He's a good student and I'm a good nagger to get things done, so slow but steady will win this school race.
On Halloween Ary hung out with her "buggy" cousins
and was the cutest glow worm I've seen yet.
As for me, I'm trying to get back into the gym and on the treadmill, but am feeling like an 80 year old. I'd like to get back to exercise every day but that will be a work in progress too. My car is finally feeling it's age too, the poor thing is 10 years old now and has bit the dust so I'm driving Jed's bug. You should see me crawl into the back to strap in Ary for work; we're quite the sight:). Life is business as usual though and we are just taking the ups and the downs one day at a time. I'm getting excited for the upcoming holidays more this year since I'll have some fresh entertainment with Ary around!
