Just Getting Started

This is my first attempt at blogging. I am going to try and update the blog every week. We'll see how that goes.

I wanted to add some of my favorite pictures of Curt. I am starting with our first family photo. This was taken when we got home from the hospital. Notice how Jackie made sure she wasn't left out....













This is Miguel's family that we went to visit in 2006. It was really nice to finally meet everyone! Chile was amazing... except for the sea lion bite!








I can't believe how fast he is growing! This other picture is his 2 month old photo.





My friend Heidi took this and it is one of my favorite pictures of Curt.

















He is running everywhere now. He tries so hard to make people laugh. He has a funny, super cheesy grin he likes to share when he's eating. He likes to do lots of silly things to make us laugh. I think when he grows up he will be the class clown. This picture (above) is of Curt and Miguel at the Vancouver Aquarium. It was pretty cool. We got to see the new baby whale that was only 30 days old. Curt just loved running in front of people and then when he would fall down they would have to try not to trip over him. It was really exciting....Except for the looks the other people gave us. They must not have a one year old who recently discovered his new freedom through walking.
His favorite food is black beans. Here's a picture of him after he's had some.

As you can imagine, we do plenty of laundry...









This is a great picture of our two party animals at Curt's first birthday party. I think the hat was Jackie's favorite part of the night.














Curt loves going to the park. He likes to climb up to the top of the playground and go down the slide head first. He's totally fearless. I'm pretty sure we'll end up in the emergency room eventually.... When we went to the park with Miguel he showed him the water fountain and Curt just loved it. I don't think he got much to drink, but he was soaked by the time we left.

O.K., so it was a really long first blog, but hopefully I can give more details on fewer things next time...

Oh my gosh, he's gotten so big! When did that happen? He looks so much like Miguel!

Anyway, thanks for staring a blog, it's good to see how things are with you. I wonder every now and then how you are doing, so it's good to see for myself.

Looking forward to reading more in the future!

I can't believe Curt is so big!! It feels like forever since I've seen you guys...I guess it has been two whole years!

I'm glad you are doing well, hopefully we'll get to come back down to Utah this year and when we do I'd love to see you guys!

I'm so excited to see and hear more about how you are doing.

Love, Esther

The blog looks great.
Sea Lion Bite?!
You are such a patient mom to let him eat beans like that.
Judging by the other comments it looks like we're lucky to be your neighbors and we get to see Curt smell flowers whenever we want.

Shanny,
I love you and want to say again how amazing you are! You are such a great mom (we were blessed to have the perfect model growing up) but you are doing it with grace and style. Your son is who he is because you give him the space to be the best he can be. He is fearless because he knows you are there to catch him, just like your mom was for you. (okay not the time you went down the basement stairs in your walker but other than that..) I love you and you are one of my best friends in the world. xoxoxo
