Busy, busy, busy!

As I mentioned yesterday, we have a lot going on right now.

First, as many of you know we bought a house. It is a cute little 3 bedroom, 1 bath and we will be moving this weekend. It has a nice fenced in back yard and hardwood floors. Here are a few pictures!

September 1st (Monday) was opening day of bird season. It started raining on Sunday and rained all day and night. We woke up Monday morning and there was no sign of it letting up. After staring at one another for a while and making a half-hearted attempt at packing, we looked at one another and said "Sacajawea traipsed many miles with a baby strapped to her back... We can surely figure out a way to go bird hunting today!" So, we found a rain jacket that was big enough to fit over Dane and the front pack... and off we went. It was raining the entire time, so we only took one picture, but we had fun, and Dane was a trooper. First, Clint had Dane and I got to shoot. I got two snipe and we traded. I took Dane and Clint got to shoot. He was able to get 4 and then we called it a day.

Here is a picture of Dane and his Dad getting ready to go hunting!!! Dane was bundled up and had a hat and little mittens... He actually slept the whole time, even when we traded he went right back to sleep.

Dane also got to eat his first "solids" a couple days ago. Since we are quasi-hippy these days we decided to go with the hippy baby food of choice, avocado. He loved it. I took a little video of his first try and besides the gag reflex (which he has already overcome) he did really well. He is so eager that we have to hold down his arms so he doesn't grab the spoon from us. The video is downloading on photobucket and once it gets done I'll put it on the blog.

Dane also wanted to send props to his cousin Porter! Looks like they both have the "roll over" down and if I get time I'll try to put on the video of Dane working his magic... Watch out world cause he is going to be moving soon!
