Big Day!

Yesterday (Friday, 9/6) was a big day for the House boys - Keith had his first official day of UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) class and Witten turned 8 months old!

Keith was pretty anxious about his first day of class. They took a test and everyone in his class (26 pilots-in-training) has to pass it... so they will continue taking the test until they all ace it. Keith has been preparing for this for a few weeks now. He thinks he got 100% but they won't find out until {probably] Monday. Besides taking that, he sat through a lot of powerpoint presentations and such. It's weird that they started on a Friday, but it's very nice to have a weekend after that first, long day!

They don't get to wear their flight suits (or as I refer to them: onesies) until everyone passes the test - till then it's their blues. Here's my handsome husband on his first day of school. :)

Here's our 8 month old...

 

 



Witten has had a runny nose and cough for a couple of days, but no fever. I'm not sure if it's part of getting his first couple of teeth, or allergies, or a little cold... hopefully it's on its way out of his system though. I was wanting to get stuff done yesterday but he wanted to be with me. This was the best way for both of us to be happy...

Apparently he likes this song on Pandora... or maybe he's going to be a button boy like his daddy was - and still is (hence the Pilot occupation).

 

He is getting more and more mobile with every day. He is a master crawler and tries pulling up on everything. He also loves a good challenge/obstacle to climb over. Once he pulls up on something, he tries to climb up it. Anytime Keith and I are on the floor (sitting or laying down) he crawls to us and makes his way up and over. This is his most recent (as in this morning) accomplishment...

which means it's time to break out the...

 

Although he is all over the place, he LOVES to sit and read (aka be my official page-turner)! He will sit, listen, and turn pages over and over and over, which I enjoy. Our bedtime routine is bath, birds (he is obsessed with birds and he lays calmly - most of the time - when I lotion him up and get him in his PJs), bottle, books, prayers (any synonyms that start with a "b"??) and bed. This is us before bed a few nights ago...

 



Tonight we're going to the Simmons house for dinner. YAY for new friends!! Jessie is making a taco bar and I'm taking cookie bars for dessert...

YUMMY!! I may have to taste test them before we go to make sure they're good enough. ;)

 

I'll sign off with a couple pictures of Witten wearing an old outfit of Keith's (12 month). His cloth diaper gives him quite a bulge, haha! I'll search for the photo of Keith in it and work on a side-by-side.

 

 

 

Have a great weekend!
