Dear John,

We moved into our new home this weekend so mom hasn't had much time for blogging. This post will try to catch us up.

Mom has found a new favorite outfit. I have been calling you my little monster for a while now and Grandma Jasper found you a little monster sweater.  I love the look on your face.  You look as mischievous as the monster on your shirt.

You also started taking your first assisted steps with Dad.  Your favorite thing to do in the new house is walk down the hallway rug. 

I will let you guess your favorite thing about the moving experience.  Boxes.  Lots and lots of boxes.  When you aren't playing with boxes, you are buried in paper. 

The biggest milestone during our move was you sitting up in your crib.  I heard you wake up from your nap and when I opened the door, there you were.  Sitting up and proud as ever.  You are becoming such a big boy! 

Your adopted Aunt Amanda is coming over tomorrow to help Mommy unpack, so I need to get to bed now.  Today, it amazed me how fast our house felt like home.  I realized that what makes a home is just adding family.  The daddy and my PB&Js moved in, this felt like home instantly.  We love you buddy.

Love,
Mom
