Catching Up…

It's been way too long since I've posted here, so let's get you caught up on the goings on in the Lamp house.

The first major item of news is that we're moving. No, we're not leaving Jacksonville, just changing addresses to a different part of town. We've found a nice little house to rent – putting us in a better neighborhood that we can feel a lot better about taking Steven around in. Bonnie did a lot of work finding the right spot and we're really excited about the new house.

Kudos to Bonnie's mom, Vicki, for coming to town to help Bon when I had my coast-to-coast road trips last month. I know that was huge for her and I imagine that Vicki didn't mind spend some quality time with Steven.

Speaking of moms…Donna is making her first Thanksgiving trip down to Jax on Sunday and spending this week with us. She's going to be in for a surprise when she sees him.

Our little man has quickly turned into not so little. He's a chunk – boosting his weight up to 22 pounds. I'm glad I've got an appointment with the chiropractor in the morning to get my back adjusted, something that has become a weekly staple, to help cope with toting the youngster.

Steven is starting to show more and more personality each day. He's really interacting more with us – showing facial expressions (which he has inherited from Bonnie), changes in his tone when talking and wanting us to pay attention to him more. Scooting around is still his mode of transportation and he's developed the "hover" until the light finally clicks for him to start crawling forward.

By the way, if you're ever in San Diego for only 22 hours, I've got the blueprint for how to do it.
