Ender is growing up!

It seems forever since I sat down to update everyone on what is going on here in central PA. So, here goes:

Ender is officially rolling all over the place. Just this past Sunday he rolled for the first time from his back to his tummy. It seems he is no longer content to just lay on the floor on his back. I'm grateful and yet terrified at the same time. It's been so nice that he's been content to be immobile. =)

He sits really well if he has someone/thing to lean against. I'm trying to get him to sit up on his own, but I don't want to force him to do anything he's not ready or willing to do himself.

I have to admit that I've been a terrible first-time mom. I haven't taken pictures of every waking moment of my firstborn's life! It has been some time since I took any major photos of our little boy. I promise you, I will make an effort to take more over the next few days/weeks and will get them posted promptly.

Ender now has 2 teeth! I noticed the first one a couple weeks ago and then went to show someone his 1 tooth and discovered he had 2! I can't believe it!! I know the next time I blink he'll have a whole mouth full! lol

I recently started doing ScottE's work orders for him. It has taken a lot of stress off of him. He has since been getting home at a reasonable time. Luckily, Ender takes a decent morning nap, so I'm usually able to get the work orders done then. It has been really nice for ScottE to be less stressed about his work. He is getting back to the point of liking his job! It was very frustrating for me to hear him constantly complain about getting what he called “a real job.” I tried to explain to him that he has a great job, he just wanted to work more normal hours. Well, with me processing most of his paper/computer work, he's been a lot happier. And that makes the rest of us happier! =)

Other than that, not much is going on here! I am tentatively putting together a story. I'm not exactly sure of my intentions with it yet, but it's been fun bouncing around ideas and writing something other than a short blog every now and then (which is still not as often as it should be!).
