Trying it out...

So Kami OldenKamp convinced me that I ought to do a blog. I don't think I have all that much to blog about, nothing that anyone cares to read anyway, but I'll try it out for a while and tell people about the blog when there's something substantial to read!
We met with a real estate agent today after floundering for a little while on our own looking for a new house. We're meeting him tomorrow morning to look at a house in our price range, which I don't think is in a desirable location for us. We'll see.
Jack has been walking for a week now, and stood up from a sitting position unassisted for the first time today. He didn't even use the floor to push himself up with his hands like I thought he would--he just put up one knee (so he was in proposal position), pushed himself up with his legs, and brought the other foot forward to stand up!
I've never really been around kids before--just pets--and animals can only progress so much in their skill! A dog can be very well-trained, but that's as far as he gets. It's amazing to watch Jack learn things seemingly by magic! (I certainly didn't show him how to stand up without pulling up on something!) But I know it's not magic--it's how God created our minds to learn.
This seems like a really short post compared to Kami's and Sarah's, but I guess I'll get better at it with practice!
