Well we have been here for about a month and a half and this little guy has learned to sit up, scoot, crawl, pull himself up to standing, and even a little bit of cruising. I can't believe how much he has grown in such a little bit of time. He is still a pretty good baby, but he is suffering from some of that separation anxiety and you actually hear him cry a little more often. He was sick for the very first time a little over a week ago and it was so sad to see him so miserable, especially since is normally so happy. He still loves his food and is doing really well with solids...side note: my sis. in law introduced me to those baby foods in a pouch...you squeeze them on to a spoon which makes for less spilling and they don't leak in your bag ( so great for on-the-go meals). But I have to tell you that Cole has made them even easier, he takes the pouch and sucks it out in about 20 seconds all by himself. No more mess...How lucky is that! Anyways, we can't get enough of this kid and just love him to pieces.
Anna is growing up way too fast...she turned 4 on the 14th and started pre-school 2 days prior. She loves it and is doing really well...they are hardcore at this preschool, she has homework and she thinks it so cool to be like Jacob...I think its kinda dumb, but oh well. She couldn't wait for her birthday and is really looking forward to her party in a week.
Jacob has had a lot going on as well...he started 1st grade (his first full day) at a new school, which was rough for the little guy at first...he really missed his friends, his school (mostly his recesses, they only have one here), and his brother and sister. For 3 days I put him on the bus in tears and watched him ball as he drove away...I, of course, walked home balling as well. Luckily, his teacher noticed that he was all alone at recess and helped him make some friends. He really likes his teacher (Mrs. Lindsay who was Wade's K teacher 25 years ago) and she says he is very bright and a good reader. He is also on a new soccer team and learned how to ride his bike. He is adjusting well I think and hopefully he'll continue to do so.
So to make a long story short, as a joke I mentioned to Anna that we make a wig for Uncle Jeff so he could come to our all girl day. Somehow that really stuck in her head to make a "weg" as she called it and wouldn't leave it alone for 2 or 3 days, so here is our weg modeled by all (except Jacob, he refused).
So while we were in PA, Wade accepted a job offer in Pittsburgh and so the day we got home we were in packing/goodbye mode and whoever said there's no good goodbyes was sooooo right. The next few posts are of our last couple of weeks in Utah.
Cole sleeping through the pioneer day picnic.
One more family picture of the Nelson family.
Fireworks with the Nevilles.
My Dad is a Kansas City Chiefs fan so I had to get a pic with him and Cole in his Chiefs outfit...Anna of course didn't want to be left out.
Our ward threw us a going away party and it poured, but the kids had a blast getting soaked on the tramp and we loved seeing our good friends one more time to say goodbye.
Wade's brother Jeff came home form his mission in Thailand at the beginning of July and so the whole Burnett clan made their way to PA to have a visit...we had many fun adventures while we were there.
