Update...sorry no pics :(

So lots has been happening in the Johnston household. First of all Hailee is finally sitting on her own and crawling! Her crawling is hilarious though! She doesn't do the standard "hands and knees" crawl....no way! She is full out "commando crawler". She moves fast too. She's loving her new found freedom and pesters the boys by chasing them around the room. Anything and anyone on the floor is free game now. She is such a doll, is always smiling and giggling! She also said her first word the other day. It was "mama"! We were all sitting down for dinner and she just said it out of nowhere, clear as day too. I'm sure she had no clue what she just said, but she said it and that's all that matters! It made me feel really good, considering the boys' first words were both "dada". I guess she's a mama's girl! hee hee

Aidan is such a little stud! He's such a great helper lately. He watches out for Xander. We were out the other night going to Target and I got the boys out of the van and was going to get my diaper bag and Xander went running for the road, but Aidan grabbed his hand and pulled him back and told him "no Xander!". It was sooo cute! My little helper! He also loves to help clean up, do dishes and put stuff in the garbage. He's really into the Christmas movies lately....and it's not even November! His Grandma J would be soo proud.

Xander has just finished teething....again! He popped out 4 new teeth. So he's doing much better in the annoying whinning department. Although he is now into the "curious" stage...where he wants to get into everything! Loving it! We are currently working on getting rid of the thumb sucking, and he seems to be doing good with it. I told him that sucking the thumb is only for bedtime so he actually does make a concious effort to not do it....it's really hard for him and I have to remind him quite frequently but I know he'll get it soon. I'm going to be attempting the potty training with him after Halloween...I just can't handle his poopies anymore!

Also, we have officially decided where we are going to end up after David's grad. David got a job offer in Edson, Alberta Canada so we are heading back to the great white north eh! It's a great deal. We are pretty excited to be near family again but are very sad to be leaving the states and all of our amazing friends down here! We will be moving December 18th, right after David's grad....that is assuming everything goes as planned.

So there you have it, the Johnston update! Sorry there are no photos...blogspot is not letting me upload pics for some reason? As soon as it's fixed though I'll put some on, I promise! Thanks for stopping by and make sure to drop us a line!
