Welcome back Blogger!

Ok. so its been about 3 months. the problem i was having was my DSL camera produced such large photos, its sucked up all my allotted mg of photo space on blogger and the only way around that was to purchase more space. which i really didnt want to do since this blog would one day just disappear into oblivion and Phoenix may never even read it. That is, until i was introduced to the wonderful world of Blogger books! I already make Snapfish bound books out of every event in our lives and adore them! But now i can turn my blog into one? no way! well believe it! and so to my delight i feel that the cost to resume my blog has been justified. even if no one even reads it! its a way to journal then at the end of the year print a beautifully bound book for our library! To quickly back track a bit, the last few months have been a blast and jam packed full of fun and surprises and packed to the brim with milestones!

-Phoenix has 3 teeth, 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top and still shows a bit of the bottom molar as well ( which has been visible since about 3 months old)
-He is enjoying home made, delicious pureed baby foods in any color and variety you can imagine. but hands down his favorite food is prunes haha ( lucky me!)
-He babbles and blows bubbles and is a grunting king when he wants to be heard; everyone in public thinks hes making a poop. little do they know hes just voicing frustration
-By 4 months he was rolling over both ways but this just wasnt enough- i dont think he will be happy until he walks.
-In his 6th month he really began crawling, he'd dabbled with it a bit before that but really mastered it in March
-In his 7th month he has accomplished pushing to sitting and now pulling up to his knees. He hasnt yet gotten to his feet on his own, but we're in no hurry... although im pretty sure he is!

In between all of that i know ive left out the daily joys of having a growing baby but luckily i keep a "one a day" journal. You write a few lines everyday for 5 years and then can look back at each date to see how things have changed. its been a great way beyond a baby book for keeping up with all of the little daily happenings that i think i wont forget but know that, sadly, i will. Plus, being home with him has been amazing. I cant express how grateful i am to be able to do so. I havent had to miss anything, and with camera ALWAYS at my side, i feel as though ive captured his life day by day, milestone by milestone. I cant wait to show him one day :) bc of this, i plan on putting together an album on his 1st birthday comprised of 365 images; my favorite pics from each day for one year. i think itll be amazing to look at how he changed and how each day had a little part in that change. so yes, my computer is made up of extremely organized albums to keep up with all these photos! God love a Mac. speaking of, i really need to back this computer up...hmm. any suggestions??

Now lets let this Blog resume! ( first i must whip out my debit card and purchase more photo space :/ )
