Blogging is obviously not something I remember to do often. I believe my last blog was over six months ago. Honestly, I forgot I even had a blog to begin with! I guess it's time for a brief Straley update. Here is a little bit of what is going on with our little family...Jeremy and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary in September. It's wild to think that we've been married that long! Our precious little JJ turned 1 on September 10th. What an amazing blessing he has been in our lives. We also found out that we are expecting baby number 2 who is due on March 25th, 2011. His name will be Whitson Jude Straley and we will call him Whit (he's already a handful). Yep, I'll be living in a house full of boys!
JJ is now 14 months old and is into everything! He is a talking machine and has a surprisingly large vocabulary. Some of his words include: MaMa, DaDa, Papa, look, book, hi, hey, hello, bye, ball, JJ, Yay!, kick, clap, jump, coke, milk, juice, cunk (crunch). He has also said: cow, chicken, all done, thank you, stop and Tia (aunt Jaclyn).
His favorite things include: eating, reading books, Sesame Street (t.v. in general), dinosaurs, animals, playing outside, music, playing chase and much more. He can sign the words milk, more and all done. JJ also likes to say "coke" while using the signs for "milk" and "more" to get Grammy to give him coke or anything else she is drinking!
JJ and I are currently enjoying a nice long vacation at Poppy and Grammy's house while poor Jeremy is in Dallas working. Our lease was up on our rental and we are in the process of trying to decide where in Dallas to buy our next home. Jeremy flies back and forth to see us. I have really enjoyed the extra help I've had while going through pregnancy number 2. Plus, JJ is having a blast being with his Grammy, Poppy, Uncle Shawn and Aunt Jaclyn.
I hope you have enjoyed the Straley Family update. I'll try to blog again before Whit turns 0ne! Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful weekend!
