Everyone told me that although it's exciting when babies start crawling and walking, it gets old because they get into everything. It definitely has NOT gotten old. In fact, I am having the the most fun with Ender that I've ever had. We have a blast playing Hide and Seek and chasing each other around the furniture!
He began standing up by himself (without support of a chair or anything, just his thunder thighs :) about 2-ish weeks ago, and since then was taking wobbly steps before falling. As everyone who has met Ender knows, he is one stubborn kid. Every time he fell, he would crawl a few paces and then try again. So now today, he is officially walking! The last few days he was still practicing but today he walked everywhere, any time he could. And it is so much fun.
Whitney Girls at the beach :D (with little boys inter-mixed) |
Anyway, besides that, the Cunningham family has had an eventful last few weeks. Ender and I flew to Galveston, Texas for a family reunion and loved seeing everyone. Ender was sort of a crab the whole time, but we still had fun! However, Josh's appendix decided that while I was gone would be the perfect time to attempt to explode. So Josh called me Sunday morning and told me he was going to urgent care to see what was up with his stomach pain. He got diagnosed with appendicitis and sent to the ER for a quick surgery to take it out before it burst. I wasn't supposed to fly home till Tuesday, but I was able to change my ticket and got home Sunday night. I was so sad that I missed his surgery, (seriously, the ONE time he really needs me for an emergency and I'm gone, what are the odds?), but luckily, his little brother Isaac was there to take care of him. And then I got to enjoy a whole week with him home recovering. :D
I love this picture. The three lil' cousins had fun together :D |

Oh yeah, I also cut off all my hair while I was vacationing in Galveston. :D I've been wanting to get a pixie cut for years but never had the guts till now!
We are about to move back to Rexburg, ID (again) for fall semester, and I am surprised to find myself excited. I guess Rexburg has begun to grow on me :D I have always liked the small-town feel, just not TOO small. Rexburg is a bit small, Raleigh a bit HUGE, so maybe someday we'll find the right size :D
