Our weekend

This weekend has been a very tiring, but fun journey. We drove to Parowan on Friday night. We left about 6:15 pm and arrived about 10pm. I was up after midnight working on my parents computer. It seemed to be having a problem with freezing up. After some trouble shooting. I discovered the problem was a loose cable to their hard drive. The cable probably came loose due to vibrations in the case, which are mainly caused by the fans inside. I was happy I figured out what the problem was, but it was stupid of me to stay up that late. Such is my life with computers.

My Mom and Dad drove us down to Las Vegas to see Jon and Veronica. Ruben was being christened and baptized at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. It was good to see little Ruben. He is getting so big. The ceremony was done in Spanish, so we didn't understand too much of what was being said. Afterwards we took pictures in the courtyard and returned to Jon and Veronica's home where we ate and prepared for the party they were hosting later. We ate a lot and had a lot of fun being there. I even beat Dad in a game of Chess! We returned home from Vegas about 11:30pm and found out the Jazz had beat the Rockets and are up 3-1 in their playoff series.

Down in Las Vegas, I noticed Christian wanting to reach for a little basket that was on a table. Mom commented about this, and so when we got home tonight we wanted to see if Christian would reach out and grab the animals on the mobile above his changing table. The following video shows the results of our experiment:

Christian Update

This is the latest and greatest updates of Christian in action. He is doing what he does best....being really cute. Enjoy!!!

Christian does not understand how to work this jump-up thingy yet but I am sure he will learn.

Christian in the Buff...and on the Move....

We've gone through a blog drought and thought it was time for our experiences to precipitate once again. Although there's no rain in the forecast today. Sunday is living up to its name. Christian is getting really big. There's not as much room on the changing table for him. I was blessed to witness Christian roll over for the first time this week, Thursday April 10 to be exact. Heather was at a primary meeting, so I received the babysitting assignment. I heard Christian in the other room fussing a bit so I went to check on him. I noticed he wasn't in his original position. I thought "He's figured something out". If I remember correctly, I repositioned him a little, because he "traveled" up against the railing of his crib. Leaving the room, I noticed Christian staring up at me as if to say "Dad don't leave me". So I stayed another moment. And that is when it happened. Christian flailed his feet a bit and then found traction assuming a stinkbug pose. His rear over took his head in an almost shoulder roll fashion. As a father, I was impressed with his technique and entertained by his new trick. I intervened to ensure he didn't get his feet unsafely entangled in the crib railing, repositioning him once again. A moment or two after moving Christian, I received an encore performance. Now I knew it was not a fluke. Luckily for us, Christian doesn't roll over repeatedly yet, so we haven't dropped the crib mattress or childproofed the cabinets....yet. Enough of my blabbering, here are some of our latest pics:
