Well, since my mom hasn't gotten on here recently, I decided to get you all up-to-date on our life. First off, I am one now! My birthday was November 19th and I had my party the Saturday before. I had a great time visiting with family and friends and eating cupcakes!

We even had a campfire for roasting marshmallows. I got lots of fun gifts although I think Nathan is going to try them all out for me first.

Then on Sunday I got dedicated at church. There were only 60 other kids along with me! I think I am famous because I made the large screen at church...

For Thanksgiving we went to Boonville to eat and hang out with some family from Daddy's side. Tonight we are going to put our Christmas tree up and I get a month to figure out how to knock it over.

I am really starting to get the hang of moving around. I am just starting to cruise and can pull up on anything. Mommy better watch out because I will be walking before long!

Joys of Home Ownership
So about a month or so ago when we were gone to visit family, a few floorboards in our hallway warped and popped up. We weren't sure what the problem was and figured it was the large amount of rain we had gotten recently.

The other day I was researching it and one of the causes I found was a leaking. I decided it was time to go in the crawlspace and rule that out. Under the house I went and there it was... a rainstorm! There was a hot water leak that was spraying out pretty quickly. I, of course, called the plumber and they came out the next day. They said they went under and it wasn't too bad and they made a little fix on the hot water heater and left. I went back under and the leak was still happening. I called them and they came back out. It turns out they had to pull out the water heater and replace the piping going down into the crawlspace.

I am glad we have that fixed. Now we just need to fix the hardwood flooring.

So Jacob decided today was a good day to start crawling normally. Here is the video to prove it...
