New Experiences

There is an annual hot air balloon festival by our house so before church this morning we went to check it out. I had seen them on Saturday morning while I was running but when we went after my run, they had all gone down.

A couple of days ago we took this video of Nyah in the jumper. She is getting the hang of it and continues to improve each day. She was jumping today while I was trying to edit this video and I thought I should just create a new video because her jumping skills are already improving. Nyah has also found her "voice". She loves all of the fun sounds she can make. This evening, she was in the jumper downstairs and Ryan was watching TV. Every time Ryan turned the TV up to hear over her, she got louder. It was pretty funny.

Tonight at dinner she was very interested in our corn on the cob so Valerie put an ear over by her and Nyah grabbed it on each end and started going to town. She just chewed on the part that had already been eaten but it was fun to watch.

Good times!

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE having Fridays off to spend with Nyah? I took some pictures of her sleeping this morning looking as cute as ever. She is definitely a big fan of her thumb these days. Then later I took some pictures of her with some sunglasses on that were pretty cute so I thought I would share both. I can't believe she is 5 months old already. It's amazing how fast time is flying by.

This time next week we will be in Idaho and hopefully getting some good sleep in preparation for our big day on Saturday. :) Tomorrow is my only big run without Jana so hopefully my MP3 player will keep me distracted. I already told Jana about it but I took Toby on my run this morning and that was interesting. Let's just say I had a record time for 4 miles and it was an upper body work out at the same time. :) I bought some new shoes today and Jana assured me that they will help me "run faster" (sound familiar Dad?)

Nyah is spending a ton of time in the jumper lately. Ryan set it up in the family room next to the kitchen so it's a lot more convenient. I will edit the video of her jumping tonight and post that to the blog in the next couple of days.

I hope everything is going well for all of you. Take care and we'll talk to you soon.
