Goodbye Dallas, Hello Keller!

The Reyes family has been beyond busy lately with our BIG MOVE! Yes, that's right, we finally got out of our "just for a year" apartment, and have now moved into one that is a bit more comfortable, and a little more up our....ahem....luxury alley. No more brown carpet and formica counters! We are hardwood and granite people now! :)

The only thing about our new place that is a little sad for us is the LOCATION! We are now proud residents of the exciting city of Keller. Never heard of Keller? Us either until now! But I am happy to report that this very morning I found out that Keller, TX is the 7th best place to live in the US! Maybe the Keller City Council put out that poll, but either way, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The other sad thing about our might-as-well-be-cross-country move, is that we had to repaint Micah's baby nursery back to the original colors. This was the first of many significant emotional breakdowns for me throughout the course of this move, and I insisted we do an extensive photo shoot of all 3 of us in his room so we will have the memories.

I am adjusting to the new city, which feels like a foreign country, and the short commute to our church makes our lives much much easier! Now all we have of Micah's first room are our photos....now if you'll talk amongst yourselves, I'm becoming a little verclempt!

Another milestone...a step or two!

We had a really big night last night at the Reyes household....Micah took a step! I could go on and on about how cool it was, but just as I have been praying every day since he was born, we actually had the camera ready to go to capture the moment! So now you can see for yourself...the baby who is growing up way too fast takes his first 2 steps! (Oh, and excuse my voice which I think reached new heights as a result.) Enjoy...

Micah is 9 months OMG

Well today our little man is 9 months old, which begs the question...what happened to months 5, 6, 7, and 8? It seems like we saw them for a fleeting second, and now we are at month 9, about to walk, starting to talk, and getting into everything! I have no idea what has happened to our baby, but it seems that he is a little man now and I am completely floored that we could have gotten here so fast! I mean I knew it would go by fast, but I had no idea I would blink and 6 months would go by.

But enough about all that...I have a video to brighten the mood a little bit and remind me that we still have fun times ahead and that the baby stages are not all there is in life :) I came across this video from about a month ago that I thought was hilarious. Micah LOVES lemons and limes for some reason...anything sour becomes funny to him, and in this particular video, I think he doesn't realize it is actually sour until 10 minutes into it. Nothing says happy birthday like a sour lime video....



****[And Micah would like to give a special shout-out to his great aunt Shannon who's actual birthday is today on his 9 month birthday!! We love you Shannon...hope you have an awesome, amazing, incredible birthday!]****
