on the move!

(don't blink, he moves fast!!)

yesterday morning, cole pulled another neat trick... kelvin was sitting on the couch reading his bible and cole was a little peeved that he wasn't up there too. probably more upset at the fact that he wasn't able to get his hands on his daddy's bible- anyway, he was crawling around, whining and grumbling to himself, when he grabbed hold of kelvin's pants leg and... up he went! wow. easy as pie, like he'd been doing it forever and a day. what a big boy! i have to say, i'm really happy that he's FINALLY crawling, but it's sad, too... no more total dependence. now he's mr. independent! my baby's getting big!! *sniff*

anyway, saturday we went back to tombstone and boothill cemetery with kelvin's parents. we caught a performance at six-gun alley, and learned that the ok corral shooting actually took place on allen street, but people eventually started referring to it as the ok corral shootout because the corral was nearby. there was only one shooting that took place in the actual ok corral- it invloved the shooting of a lawyer. hmmmm. probably someone that wasn't happy with how much he charged?? [joke] it was wyatt earp days, so there was a lot of extra activity... there were over 20 different performance groups that came in for the event, with tons of live reenactments in the streets. it was televised too, so chances are, we were caught on camera! yay. by the time we got home it was after 6 pm, and both cole and i were tired. correction: cole was tired, i was exhausted. and i was glad to not have to use a public restroom... ordinarily, i can go for a LONG time without a potty break but alas, those days are numbered... at least the situation is temporary. another 8 months or so and i can go back to holding in lake michigan, as dr reichle would say (my old dr at st e's; he was wonderful!).

(carseat head... at least he woke up happy!)
(one of the skits in the streets of tombstone- yes, it invloved a shootout!)

and this will make my mom happy- i have remembered my prenatal vitamins every single day so far (we'll see how long THAT lasts, we went to golden corral yesterday for lunch and i almost went without my shoes), and i have yogurt with dha every day. this will be one healthy baby, if i have anything to do with it! i'm still unsure at to exactly WHERE this one should be born... here in casa grande, where they still labor and deliver in one room and recover/stay in another, or risk the traffic and go to phoenix? the thing with phoenix isn't really a distance thing so much as traffic issues... there are traffic jams left and right. on the 6-lane freeway! then again, if we head in a little earlier than we need to maybe it will all work out alright. chances are, the hospitals in phoenix are way more modern (civilized might be a more appropriate term) and the doctors might be better. not to mention, we'd have more options... we'll see. it's just the early-pregnancy hormonal panic!
