1 Month Already?!?

My baby boy is 1 month old!! It is crazy how fast that month went by. We were busy for a lot of his first month of life. Colby had his wisdom teeth taken out right before Christmas so he was in a lot of pain for a few days and not able to really eat anything.  Then of course we had Christmas. On Christmas day, we did presents at home, then church followed by presents at my parents house and ended the day with the Vostad Christmas at my cousin's house. The next day we left at 4:30am to head to Kansas. As soon as we got there we did presents with Colby's parents then headed to his Grandma Sherry's house then to his Grandma Judy and Grandpa Rudy's house. The next day we visited Colby's great grandfather and then had a very long lunch with Colby's best friend after which we headed home. A very busy and exhausting couple of days. We had a couple of nice days at home until at dog was hit by our neighbor on New Years Eve breaking his back leg. It is costing us a lot to get it fixed and Im not sure it would be worth it but Colby thought it would. I am still not convinced. He can be a huge pain when I already have to deal with two children. Life is just going going going.

All that going did not hinder Waylon's growth one bit. At his check up he was already up to 10lbs 13oz which put him into the 75th percentile. This is crazy to us since Harper was always in the low percentiles always around the 10th or 20th. They are so different already. Harper is trying to show us how independent she can be. She does not like to listen to us and when she doesn't get what she wants when she wants she throws a tantrum. It can be very frustrating but she is also a really good and really smart little girl too. We are just working through it day by day. We are also trying the whole potty training thing. She will go sometimes if we take her just sit and if I ask if she has to go sometimes she says yes but rarely actually goes. She won't tell us when she has to go but we are working on it.

Another big potential change for us is Colby's employment. He wants (along with me) to have a day job so badly. He is having some problems at his current job with  people above him complaining to others, besides him, about the work he is doing. However, no one will tell him what he needs to change which is very frustrating to him. He wants to go to day so badly that we have started to look for jobs for him in other cities and with other companies. There is position available with the same company he currently works for in the city my sister and brother both live in. A move like that would be a big deal for us. We also want to have buying a house in our near future. If we are going to buy a house we need to be brining in more money and be more financially stable.

I am hoping our future will turn out even better then we can imagine right now. We just need to have the faith that everything happens for a reason and everything will work its self out.
