Half a year!

I know, I know! It has been way too long since I blogged. Here are some highlights of our lives since I last wrote:
1. Found a job - praise God! It is bittersweet because I loved my old job, my coworkers and my clients. I felt I was in my niche. But my new job allows me to be at home 3 days a week and the other 2 days are only 10 minutes away at the office. It's not practicing law but its doing research for a tech company. My research could eventually provide a great service to the community so I still feel that I'm helping people indirectly. I'm so thankful every time I get to wake up and not have to say goodbye to Colton.
2. Childcare is pretty much solved - hooray!
3. Clark started back at school - the first day he had a crier and a puker but he survived!
4. Colton is drooling like a bulldog but no teeth yet.
5. Colton has a new exersaucer - the best thing in the world as far as he's concerned.
6. Colton is almost able to sit up all alone.
The number one question we get is: "Is he always this happy?" Answer: yes, always.
Handsome like daddy!
Colton haha. I can't believe it has been 6 months. I've been a mom for half a year - I've survived half a year! Wow, it has been the shortest and longest 6 months of my life.

One of my new coworkers shared with me a concept I hadn't realized: Babies laugh because they are pleased, not because they are amused. Adults laugh because we are amused and think something is funny. Babies will just laugh out of pure joy. I'm glad he put it that way - when I'm around Colton I want to laugh out of pure joy too!
