ok so auger is just over seven months old. his last doctor's appointment was at six months and he weighed just over 20 pounds. im convinced he is nearing 25 ha ha. he is so heavy i can barely stand to hold him for more then about ten minutes. on top of that, he is incredibly squirmy so therefore he is impossible to hold onto. thankfully he can get around pretty well by himself so he keeps himself pretty busy. he still scoots like a worm instead of crawling normal but he is getting pretty fast. he can pull himself up onto just about anything now as long as he can grab ahold of it somehow. and yesterday he finally finally got his first tooth! just one on the bottom though, he is still working on more but at least we can see some progress being made now :) thomas has been working like crazy trying to get everything planted. thank goodness skyler and greg are here or i would never see my husband! the weather has been terribly windy so it has slowed down the planting a little bit but so far they are pretty much on schedule. we got some baby chicks a couple weeks ago. we couldn't get the power to work outside by the chicken coop so i actually had chickens living in a box in my house for a few days. well greg bought us a forever long extension cord so that we could get them out of there. we spent a little while stretching it from our house to the shed and then found a plug right next to the chicken coop that worked ha ha so we rolled up the extension cord and put it away. oh well, at least the chickens are no longer stinking up my house. my garden is about half planted now, thanks to my parents. they helped me transplant raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. i also planted some spinach and lettuce from seed. they were doing well until this last week but the blowing sand has definately taken it's toll on things. i hope they survive. anyways here are some pictures from the last month. . .
thomas saw auger's hair like this and announced that andre kirelenko was in the house lol

grandma and grandpa came for a few days and auger loved them again much to my relief :)

this was his first experience with dirt. i declare it a success

adena and greg donated their carseat to auger when they came. he had to scrunch his knees up into his chest to fit into his old one ha ha. as soon as i brought the new one home he crawled over to it and wanted in. so i buckled him up in the middle on the living room and he sat there happy as could be for almost an hour.
