Yes, ten. And that means I have THREE MONTHS of your life to update the world about. Please don't take my lack of blog posts on you personally. Our little family often leads a busy life, which means blogging is one of the many things that gets pushed to the back burner. If it comes as any consolation, your brother hasn't gotten a post in about six months ;)<br /><br />Alright little lady, let the updates begin!<br />
<br />

<br /><br />You have teeth now! In August, your two bottom teeth started to break through. A few weeks later, your top two teeth began to reveal themselves. Those are still working their way down right now, which looks rather painful. I can tell they bother you because, you've been more discontent than usual, but you've been a trooper nonetheless.<br />
<br />

You would think with these newfound tools in your mouth that you would be a better eater than you were 3 months ago, but that's not entirely true. Yes, you are better, but not where I hoped you'd be at ten months! You are fickle, my dear. I never know if you are going to eat well or like what's put in your mouth. Textures are still alarming to you and we've tried puffs and mum mums, but you aren't quite getting the hang of them yet. You still prefer sweet tasting things, although I made you a mixture that I was sure would be a shoe-in to your taste buds (carrots & pears), but you were NOT a fan.<br />

<br />At the end of August, you started pulling up. It makes you look so grown up! Haddon got all excited to see you standing. I also think it made him feel you were bigger and tougher so he's become much more rough with you. I'm sorry about that. I try to protect you. He loves you, I promise. He can just be a little much at times :) Can't we all…<br />

<br /><br />You'd been scooting around rather efficiently for a couple of months, but around mid September, you officially switched to crawling on your hands and knees. You are getting around, my girl, and it definitely keeps me on my toes. You find and get into everything and I'm trying my best to keep you alive! For some reason, you're really good a finding small dangerous things to put in your mouth…<br />

<br />Fun fact: You wave now :) It's really cute…<br /><br />At the beginning of September, we embarked on a new adventure called Mother's Day Out. Our new church offers that to our family for free, so you and Haddon go two days a week. You do SO well. The ladies always rave about you when I pick you up and are always so excited when I drop you off. Maybe they do that with all the babies, but it seems to be a trend that you are a gem whenever anyone else is taking care of you. I guess you just save your fussing for me :) You can be such a mama's girl… you're perfectly content to play by yourself, but I have to sneak around the house to get things done because if you see me, you realize you haven't been with me and you get upset. I know I need to treasure this. Are you going to be one of those too-cool-for-school teenagers that doesn't want to be seen with her mom one day? Lord give me grace…<br />

<br /><br />Just a couple of days ago you started "cruising." You pulled up and then made your way down the couch in a walking fashion. Before that, you were able to pull up behind a little walker we have and push around. It will be interesting to see what life is like with two walking little ones. <br />

<br />At your 9 month check up (which was 3 weeks late…), you were 28 inches long and weighed 17.5 pounds. In spite of your strong opinions on food, you are a healthy girl. You've got some of the sweetest chubby cheeks that we could kiss on all day!<br />

<br />Lastly, I think we might be able to claim your first word, "Da." You can repeat it so well when we say it and I'm pretty sure you associate it with your Dad. Congratulations, my girl, you're learning new ways to make that man melt ;) You have a sweet little voice, Eden. I hear how your brother talks now and get excited to think about what you will be talking about and how you will sound when you're his age. <br />

There are so many things that need to be shared, but if I try to tackle them all, I'll go into another 2 month hiatus... So I'll start with Eden. Eden girl, forgive me for falling behind on your blog posts. I've just been too busy keeping up with you and your brother to write about it all ;)<br />

She's a mover! In her sixth month she began sitting up really well and mastered what I like to call the "swivel." She could pivot around on her belly to get facing a desired direction and go from there. She is able to get up on her hands and knees, but she just hangs there and rocks back and forth. Or pushes herself up and gets her plank on ;)<br />

Now that we've entered [<i>and almost completed!</i>] her seventh month, she is army crawling and scooting like a champ! This girl is <b>busy</b>. It's been a helpful, but crazy thing around the Pugh home! She's playing and interacting so well, but that also requires a much more watchful eye. Especially now that everything goes in her mouth [<i>a still toothless mouth for the time</i>].<br />

Speaking of putting things in her mouth, we started solid foods a few days after her 6 month birthday [<i>I know you can start around 4 or 5 months, but our May was CRAZY</i>]. It took Eden a bit to catch on to the whole solids craze... This sweet girl would just hold it in her mouth and smile at me. Open mouth. No swallowing. But a sweet smile :) I think she's beginning to catch on that her smile can be quite the asset...<br />

The fast broke when we finally tried banana. I was trying to attempt as many veggies as possible, but apparently this girl has a sweet tooth. So now we add banana to everything ;) So maybe not to everything, but close!<br />

Miss Eden can also be quite the talker when she puts her mind to it. She's not always babbling, but when she gets going she has quite the personality! Laughs are still hard to come by, but when we can finagle them out of her they are oh, so sweet!<br />

At the moment, those are all the major milestones I can think of... I seem to have misplaced her 6 month stats. It's as if we moved or something. Oh yeah, WE DID. I'm sure I'll blog about that in a year or two ;) That's probably when I'll also be able to stay that Eden is sleeping through the night... Haddon's still a sleeping warrior though, so I can't do too much complaining! And yes, Haddon is alive and well. He's next on the list for an update :)<br />

I think it would thrill her soul to be able to run around the house with Haddon. But alas, that mobility isn't there yet. She sure does try. She'll jump out of your arms if you're not careful. She wants to sit up so badly, but the coordination isn't fully there yet. She can for a bit if everything is at the right angle, but I'm not sure if we'll officially claim that milestone this month. So basically, she's on the verge of everything…<br />

Her smile is still contagious and she flashes it without warning. My, she's sweet. But she sure can wail. I think it's official that she does not love the car… Poor girl just wants someone to look at and be with instead of being cooped up in a seat for hours. [<i>and we've done a LOT of driving lately</i>]<br />

She likes to chew on her fists, but she's been doing that for a couple of months. She can grasp things now, which is fun to see her becoming more interactive. This accomplishment also provides something else to put in her mouth :) She has also found her feet and delightfully plays with them often. <br />

We have some sweet friends that live just right down the street from us that have a boy [<i>Naaman</i>] just a few days older that Haddon and a girl [<i>Quinni</i>] a few months older than Eden. The pictures above are at their house. They are gracious to let us come and enjoy their fun backyard and get some much needed fresh air during some restless afternoons! As you can see, Haddon has developed quite an affinity toward one of Naaman's fun hats. Haddon the Amish boy...<br />
<br />
Speaking of fresh air, it's fun to go to parks and just let him roam.<br />

He still loves food, but only what he wants, when he wants. Meals can sometimes be a struggle and often take place apart from the high chair, but we're striving to choose our battles wisely ;) In the pictures above, he had just got done eating some tasty carrots and is asking for "more." I'm not sure how many of you have witnessed his "more" signal, but it is slowly fading and is being replaced by actually <b>saying</b> "more" [<i>"Mo!'</i>]. This little boy is picking up words faster than I can keep count! It's so fun to be able to interpret what he's communicating.<br />

WINNIE THE POOH!!! Seriously, this kid LOVES him. And all of Pooh's friends. He can name them all [<i>a video of that will come soon</i>!]. We have a few different Pooh shows on Netflix and Haddon just can't get enough. I bet he could sit and watch Pooh all day. Don't worry, we ration the screen time ;)<br />
<br />
I'll close this out with one of the sweetest snapshots that I pray will be a normal thing in my little boy's life in the years to come...<br />

is all kinds of sweet! [<i>except when she's not</i>] But really, she's SO smiley. I remember Haddon having sweet smiles, but the <b>amount</b> of smiles Eden has far outweighs her brother's at this age. Don't get me wrong, she can <b>wail</b>. But most of the time, she just wants somebody to be around. She'll be fussing and as soon as I walk over to check on her, she starts grinning from ear to ear. Eden Pugh is a people person!<br />

She is also <b>strong</b>! She is lifting her head up like a champ. She also likes to stiffen up her legs and pretend to stand when you're holding her. She accomplished the "rolling over" milestone a couple weeks ago at Big Daddy & T's house, but hasn't done it much since.<br />

This was at a friend's house when she tried out the Bumbo seat for the first time. We have a similar nifty contraption for her at home with all kinds of unnecessary accessories :)<br />

Unfortunately, our girl is still spitting up a lot [<i>hence the Christmas bib action</i>]. Needless to say, whatever bib is clean gets worn!<br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, she really is a people person. Haddon tends to get all up in her face from time to time and she's such a good sport about it! She smiles and talks to him as if she's ever so delighted that he's poking her in the face or trying to pull her out of the swing. She just loves to watch him be his crazy self!<br />

She also become pretty mesmerized when Kam is around and talking. We read Haddon a story before bedtime and I bring Eden in there as well and she's always so smiley and fixated on Kam while he's reading. She loves her Dad :)<br />

<br />
I guess she smiles a lot during the day because she's apologizing for all the trouble she is at night. Okay, so that's not <b>entirely</b> true. She has started waking up every 2-3 hours after going to bed. I'm not sure where that initial long stretch of sleep that she used to do went. But really, I can't complain because when she wakes up at night, I'll feed her for a bit and then she goes right back to sleep. She is getting more into a predictable nap routine though, which is good. I share all this so that [1] I'll remember what her sleeping habits were like and [2] so that you know she's not always coos and smiles ;)<br />

I'll close this out with her stats from her 4 month check up. Our baby girl is growing up!<br />
<br />
<b>[4.3.14]</b><br />
<ul>
<li>13 lb. 3 oz.</li>
<li>height: 23.5" </li>
<li>head circumference: 16.5"</li>
</ul>
Compare that to...<br />
<br />
<b>[2.14.14]</b><br />
<ul>
<li>11 lbs. 1 oz.</li>
<li>height: 21.5"</li>
<li>head: 15.75"</li>
</ul>
We're excited to see what the next month has in store... We love you, little E!<br />

We started cloth diapers this month, but it has been very sporadic due to laundry back up ;) On most days, she's wearing size 2 diapers [<i>kind of out of necessity because we had a stash of that size, but they fit!</i>].<br />

We did try a bottle this month! She took it much better than her brother did. We've only done it a couple of times, and she drank about an ounce, but it's good to know it's an option! <br />

She's grown out of newborn clothes and is in 0-3 months, but her feet sometimes pose a problem with these clothes. They don't often fit in the designated foot space! Speaking of her feet, she'll often smile when I play with her toes :)<br />

She'll often stiffen her legs when you're holding her, so I guess she prefers standing when she's able. She's a strong little girl!<br />

The past two times we've been to the doctor, both of the little ones have had appointments. Each time Haddon has gotten upset. Before this, he had <b>never</b> gotten upset about being in the doctor's office [<i>until they administered the shots, of course</i>]. I'm not sure what has changed, but we like to think he's being a protective big brother ;)<br />
<br />
Here are their stats...<br />
<br />
Haddon [18 months]<br />
<ul>
<li>24 lbs. 10 oz.</li>
<li>height: 32"</li>
<li>head: 19" </li>
</ul>
Eden [2 months]<br />
<ul>
<li>11 lbs. 1 oz.</li>
<li>height: 21.5"</li>
<li>head: 15.75"</li>
</ul>
I sure do love these two...<br />

If you didn't notice, she also likes to stick her tongue out...<br />
<br />
Her bright little eyes are turning a clearer blue, she's starting to "coo" a bit, and lately, everyone that sees her says how much she looks like <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2014/02/haddon-lately.html" target="_blank">her brother</a>.<br />

She's being pretty gracious to us at night. She goes to bed around 9:30 and will have an initial lengthy stretch of sleep until about 3 or 4 [<i>and when she's feeling extra generous, 5:00, which has only happened once thus far!</i>] After that, she goes back to sleep and wakes up around 6 or 7 to feed again. She'll <b>usually</b> sleep a couple more hours after that and begin her day around 9. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure if I mentioned it in her <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2014/01/eap-one-month.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, but she spits up a lot. Unfortunately, this is still the case. Our pediatrician didn't seem to think it was a problem though since she's eating well and gaining weight. Last time we checked, she was 9 lbs. 10 oz, but we'll have our official check up on the 14th [<i>Haddon's 18 month and Eden's 2 month in the same vist. Oh my. Thankful Kameron will be around for that one—Happy Valentine's Day to us!</i>]<br />
<br />
We try our best to get tummy time in every day, but with the danger of a big brother that likes to put all of his weight on her when she's lying on the floor, sometimes it just doesn't happen :) In spite of my lack of discipline in that area, our girl is still getting a strong neck. We're so proud!<br />

For starters, his vocabulary is expanding rapidly! He may say things in his own special way, but they're consistent and contextually accurate. A few in the Haddon vocab repertoire include: <br />
<ul>
<li>ball [<i>boh, or buh-boh when football or basketball are on TV!</i>]</li>
<li>bath [<i>bah</i>]</li>
<li>nose [<i>no-wuh</i>]</li>
<li>dad [<i>loud exclamations of DA!</i>]</li>
<li>hi, hey, bye [<i>often accompanied by a chubby-fingered wave</i>]</li>
<li>teeth [<i>deee! This kid loves brushing his teeth</i>] </li>
<li>uh-oh [<i>used a lot, even if something wasn't any accident a.k.a. I just threw my cup, how on earth did it get over there?!</i>]</li>
</ul>
<br />
Recently, after a visit with Nana, he's added "bite" [<i>bi-yuh</i>] and "cup" [<i>bup</i>]. He's still our little French baby, saying "deux" and excitedly pointing at everything, but we're trying to crack down a little harder in the language department and not letting him get away with calling everything "deux" ;)<br />

He's also gotten really good at repeating things when you introduce them, but I won't claim those as words just yet. We'll make sure he really know what he's talking about first! <br />
<br />
Oh, did I mention that he can say no? He says it all day, everyday. In and out of context. Seriously, y'all... he's been known to wake up saying "no" [<i>and that is not an exaggeration</i>]<br />

Food is often a battle. Don't get me wrong, he loves food. Just not when it's on his plate. If anyone else in the room is eating, he walks up excitedly saying "Mmmmm," but opinions change when something is set in front of him. This doesn't happen at every meal, but close— we're working on squashing that autonomy ;)<br />

He still loves balls and books. T and Big Daddy got him a basketball goal for Christmas and that has just increased the joy he finds in balls. Another sweet thing is how much he is entertained when we're watching basketball or football on TV. He's quite the fan...<br />

He's sweet to sister about 95% of the time. He's gotten really good at kissing her and will go to great lengths to do so. I even think he's started saying "Eeee" when she's around, so maybe he's learning her name! I think he's going to be an entertaining older brother.<br />

He's learned where to find his eyes, nose, and mouth. Ears give him a little trouble, but I think he gets the general idea. Nose is his favorite. He likes to find everyone/thing's nose. This puts Eden's face in danger a lot...<br />

He has two more teeth coming in [<i>to add to his current 6</i>]. I believe they are molars—one on the top left and bottom left.

I'll end this update with his first adventure in the snow this past week. He sure is cute all bundled up. [<i>Kam is, too!</i>]<br />

It's been a busy time in the Pugh home over the past month and I'm sure that won't change anytime soon, so I knew if I didn't take the plunge back into blogging, I'd keep putting it off. It has now become more for me than the other folks that follow our blog [<i>I know there are thousands of you</i>]. I want to take note. To remember. To be able to have a tangible record of what's happening in our lives—because it's happening fast!<br />
<br />
So here are some highlights of our first month with Eden. I'd love to write down her birth story soon as well, but that will just have to wait! [<i>Along with the other hundred blog posts I have floating around in my head...</i>]<br />
<br />
-Eden Anastasis came into this world at 3:32 a.m. on Tuesday, December 3rd.<br />
-She was 20 inches long [<i>just like her brother!</i>] and 6 lbs. 8 oz.<br />
-She has the Pugh chin ;)<br />

-She has big hands like her brother, but her fingers are definitely more feminine. No <a href="http://youtu.be/bSL4cmFW_GU" target="_blank">man hands</a> for my girl :) <br />

-She has her mother's feet—long, skinny toes. [<i>poor girl</i>]<br />
-She has a sweet little swirl in her hair at the top of her forehead. <br />
-What little hair she has started off a lighter brown, but these days it's looking more and more blonde.<br />
-She's already traveled around the state. We spent the 22-25th in Decatur with my side of the family and the rest of the week in Tuscaloosa with Kam's. Hooray for baby's first Christmas :)<br />
-She's already met all aunts/uncles and cousins except for one set. [<i>We're looking forward to MLK weekend, Batrich family!</i>]<br />
-She sleeps in a cradle made by her great-grandfather.<br />

-They swallowed her initially, but she's almost outgrown her newborn clothes. We're about to experiment with 0-3 months. [<i>Praise the Lord for all the hand-me-downs we've been given!</i>]<br />
-Unlike her brother, she takes a pacifier. WHOA! Game. Changer. [<i>I had actually forgotten those things existed</i>]<br />
-Aunt Lynn came on day 9 and took some fabulous pictures [<i>surprise, surprise</i>]. <br />

December 5th is the official due date, and our boy was early, so who knows what the week will bring!<br />
<br />
Inquiring minds that don't see me regularly were interested in how the bump was coming along, so I figured I should go ahead and get these photos posted before they are no longer relevant :) <br />
<br />
I always feel funny posing alone, so I recruited a couple of models to join me in my "bump" pictures. <br />

Thanks for being able to feed yourself meals [<i>sometimes</i>]. This will come in handy when your little sister is around, needing my attention as well. You do pretty well with eating on your own, until you decide it's time to throw your food. Or freak out and realize that everything needs to be swiped off your tray as soon as possible, which equals you viciously flailing your arms, getting every item out of sight. We're working on that...<br />
<br />
I'm also glad you're not allergic to peanut butter or eggs. I sometimes
lose my creative flair when meal planning for you, so it's good to have
those guys to fall back on [<i>even though Dad hates the smell of both...</i>] <br />
<br />
You also really love fruit—I'm thankful for that. Lately, your
favorites are kiwis and strawberries. You
know you're the healthiest member of our family? Have I also told you that I
love the way you cross your little feet when you're sitting in your
high chair? <br />
<br />
It's pretty cute...<br />

You love books and balls and you get really excited about brushing your teeth. You throw <b>everything</b>. Which makes life a little complicated when trying to teach you what items are appropriate to throw, but I'm confident you'll learn.<br />

You have quite the imagination and can often be found "reading" to yourself or using whatever object you can to "talk on the phone." You also love "eating" and "drinking" imaginary things out of cups and pots and pans you drag out.

You had your 15 month checkup yesterday and we praise the Lord for how healthy you are. You weighed in at 21 lbs. 6 oz. [<i>lean and mean!</i>] and are 30.75 inches tall. That puts you in the 30th percentile for height and weight. The dome [<i>your head</i>] still has around an 18.25" circumference, but the doctor's computer froze up, so she couldn't tell me what percentile that put you in. You still might be a tad disproportional ;)<br />
<br />
You're growing up Haddon, and with that comes lots of changes. You're as cute as can be, but you are a little sinner. We didn't have to teach you to pitch fits or throw yourself on the ground when you don't get your way. We didn't have to show you how to deliberately disobey when we tell you not to do something. It's already in you and it can hurt our feelings and make us sad, but thankfully there is a remedy, my boy! I pray that as you continue to grow and learn to understand things, you will learn that we don't have to be slaves to sin. There is a greater and more loving Master. A Master who gave it all. May you come to know Jesus, Haddon Pugh. May you know Him and love Him and follow Him all the days of your life. He changes everything. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br />"For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would <b>no longer be enslaved to sin</b>. For one who has died has been <b>set free</b> from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; <b>death no longer has dominion over him</b>. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves <b>dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus</b>. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God <b>as those who have been brought from death to life</b>, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since <b>you are not under law but under grace</b>." </i>—Romans 6:5-14<i><br /></i></div>

Oh the places Haddon goes :) I'm blessed to be the one who gets to keep up with him all day. Sometimes that doesn't feel like a blessing now that I'm 34 (almost 35) weeks pregnant, but by God's grace I am reminded to be thankful for it all.<br />
<br />
Oh and he also likes to climb. Onto, into, around, and through things!<br />

I'm going to need Kam's help with all the Middle East pictures, but he's rather busy these days, so in order to not procrastinate [<i>again</i>] on blog posts, we'll start with Paris. So you may not see our summer in chronological order, but you will see it in some form or fashion!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Many of you know that a huge prayer of ours when heading to Paris was for Haddon's traveling and schedule. I cannot boast in the Lord enough in this area of our summer. Haddon was <b>amazing</b> on <b>both</b> of our flights, which were 8-9 hours long! I feel like every time I share that, I'm just as blown away. On the way over there, he was awake for the first couple of hours because they didn't dim the cabin lights for a while. The carrier in the picture above was my saving grace! Although they did set up a pretty nifty "bed" for the HadMan on our flight over which he just barely met the requirements for [<i>yet another providential provision</i>].<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Clearly, this is not Haddon in the picture to the left. That boy of mine has <b>never</b> slept with a pacifier, nor was he that teeny at the time. There is no pictoral documentation of our flights because I was, well, flying by myself with a 10-month-old. 'Nuff said ;) Just wanted you to get a visual of the nifty contraption...<br />
<br />
So not only did the flight go well, but jet lag wasn't much of an issue either. We thought it might be the first night when Haddon woke up around 1:00 a.m. and cried for about an hour... But that was all! By God's <b>amazing</b> grace, after that little episode, he was fine.<br />

I've shared with people numerous times how wonderful Haddon did and how well we all transitioned to the 7 hour difference [<i>or was is 8? It's all such a blur!</i>] and like I said before, I'm still astounded at the Lord's answer to our prayers. Our very particular, detailed prayers! [<i>I even prayed that we would sit by a sweet elderly couple on the flight that would be thrilled to death to be able to sit by Haddon. The Lord was faithful to do just that.</i>]<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a Friend we have in Jesus, <br /> all our sins and griefs to bear!<br /> What a privilege to carry <br /> everything to God in prayer!<br /> <b>O what peace we often forfeit,
<br /> O what needless <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">pain</span> we bear,</b><br /> All because we do not carry <br /> everything to God in prayer. <br /> <br /> Have we trials and temptations?
<br /> Is there trouble <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">anywhere</span>?<br /> <b>We should never be discouraged; <br /> take it to the Lord in prayer.</b><br /> Can we find a friend so faithful <br /> who will all our sorrows
share?<br /> <b>Jesus knows our every weakness; <br /> take it to the Lord in prayer.</b><br /> <br /> Are we weak and heavy laden, <br /> cumbered with a load of
care?<br /> Precious Savior, still our refuge, <br /> take it to the Lord in prayer.<br /> Do your friends despise, forsake you? <br /> Take it to the Lord in prayer!<br /> In His arms
He’ll take and shield you; <br /> <b>you will find a solace there.</b><br /> <br /> Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised <br /> Thou wilt all our burdens bear<br /> May we ever, Lord, be
bringing all to <br /> Thee in earnest prayer.<br /> <b>Soon in glory bright unclouded there <br /> will be no need for prayer</b><br /> Rapture, praise and endless worship <br /> will be our
sweet portion there.</div>

Wrong. The logic there? It was hard to make sporadic posts throughout the month of Pugh happenings because I knew Haddon would want to include them in his entries. So in attempts not to steal my son's thunder, we'd hold off and load his monthly posts with EVERYTHING. Which [<i>as you noticed</i>] took a while to compile. So I thought lifting the burden of that would free me up to do little posts here and there. Clearly I haven't...<br />
<br />
My new approach? Pace myself. I don't have to cram everything in one post. It is okay to only have a <b>few</b> pictures. It is okay to not tell a fanciful story with each entry. It is <b>good</b> to be <b>brief</b>. Hence, my new blog series [<i>drumroll, please</i>]...<br />

SO MUCH happened in the life of the KamPughs this summer and I desperately want to document it all, but it's already October and I've done none of that. Yes, Haddon's covered some highs, but a lot has been left unsaid and unrecognized. I hope that giving you little detailed glimpses of that will remedy the lack thereof. Plus, who doesn't want to reminisce about summer? <br />
<br />
Here's a couple teasers to whet your appetite :)<br />

[<i>Especially the idea of being able to get away for a week on your own!</i>]<br />
<br />
For our honeymoon, we rented a cabin in Sevierville, TN, about 30 minutes from Gatlinburg. This past May, we were able to head back to the Gatlinburg area and enjoy a much needed vacation [<i>Haddon mentioned this trip in his <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2013/05/nine-months.html" target="_blank">9 month blog</a></i>]. <br />

A fellow Lakeview intern and his wife, Tim and MaeLee, joined us on this trip, which gave us the added bonus of babysitters! They were gracious to let us go out one night, sans Haddon, and enjoy a nice little date.<br />

We headed to a lovely little restaurant in downtown Gatlinburg that we were rather familiar with— <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2013/05/nine-months.html" target="_blank">The Peddler Steakhouse</a>. Kam took me here on our honeymoon and there were too many memories [<i>and some really good food</i>] that we couldn't resist going back! I even wore the same dress for old times' sake :)<br />

Still happy and very much in love :) Sitting at this table as newlyweds, we couldn't imagine what was ahead of us. I'm thankful for every bit of goodness [<i>and not so good!</i>] the Lord has brought our way since May 22, 2010. A lot has changed, but there's one thing that I pray never will... in the wise words of Kameron's dear grandparents, <b>"Honeymoon for life!"</b><br />

I, Joshua Haddon Pugh, am officially a one-year-old! I know moms like to still use months when chatting about the age of their kiddos, even after a year or two has passed, but if you ask me, my answer will always be in years. It just sounds more legit, in my opinion. I think Mom and I have come to a compromise on this one.<br />
<br />
So what all has this one-year-old been up to, you might ask? A LOT. As usual, I have much to share, so stick with me. I'll throw in lots of pictures to keep your interest :)<br />
<br />
My twelfth month was another one for the books when it came to traveling. Dad was off for the month of July, so we took advantage of that and made the rounds to family. Look who all we saw!<br />

If you're wondering why the video above of us in the pool got cut off rather abruptly, Mom was getting sprayed by one of the sprinklers, so she was trying to spare the camera. Good times :)<br />

I'm sure you're disappointed that I didn't dive in, but the cold whippy frosting was just throwing me off. It tasted good, but I couldn't get it off my hands. Looking back on this event, I wish I would have responded differently. Then I may have escaped my Father's antics to make some magic happen...<br />

Yep, Dad put me belly down on that cold cake. I was <b>very </b>offended. Happy birthday to me. I forgave him, but I can't say I'm not scarred from the whole experience.<br />
<br />
We capped off our summer travels with a trip back to Brooklyn. Some of you may remember that Mom made her <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/05/and-so-it-begins.html" target="_blank">debut in the blogging world</a> right before our trip there last summer. You can read the one about what brought the Pugh family to Brooklyn <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/05/never-fear-brooklyn-is-here.html" target="_blank">here</a>. She was pregnant with me then, so I like to claim this as my <b>second</b> trip. Dad was helping lead volunteer teams and Mom and I were along for the ride. I just so happened to have my official birthday while we were there [<i>doin' it big, I know</i>]. Here's a glimpse of how that celebration went.<br />

While on the ferry, Mom got a little crazy and decided it was okay if I tried some of Dad's tootsie pop. I kind of didn't give her a choice because I totally jacked it from his mouth to put it in mine. What can I say? He was eating it right in front of me. You can't do that to a kid on his first birthday...<br />

Check out my big, bad, whole milk self! Actually, this was probably still from my month of formula while Mom was cutting back the feedings, but NOW I'm am definitely a milk man.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to think of some other milestones that may interest you... I now point at things and ask you "Deux?" Yes, that's two in French and that's exactly what I'm saying. At least, that's what Mom thinks it sounds like. I'll let her keep guessing for a while until I really communicate my thoughts.<br />
<br />
In terms of communication, anyone and anything is "Da-Da," "Daddy," or "Dat." Sometimes I get this one contextually when it comes to Dad, but I just really like saying it to everything.<br />
<br />

<br />
Everyone wants to know if I'm walking yet, but I'm not. Bear with me, friends. I'll stand on my own for a bit and I've <i>kind of</i> taken a few steps from that position, but I'm not ready to make the definitive claim of "first steps" just yet. For Mom's sake, I'm going to try to have it down by the time Eden makes her entry into the Pugh home.<br />
<br />
I can officially wave now [<i>in context</i>]. I really enjoy it and like to predict when people are about to leave so that I can start waving. I may have been a late bloomer in this milestone, but I am definitely making up for lost time.<br />
<br />
I definitely still love food, but am becoming rather fickle. I just like to keep my parents on their toes when it comes to the food I decide to eat that day. Mom occasionally lets me feed myself, but this usually ends with her taking the spoon away from me because I'm making a mess, therefore I pitch a rather emotional fit.<br />
<br />
This is one of my finer "feeding myself" moments...<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="338" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CBdGo_OFDYs" width="600"></iframe>
<br />
At my one year check up [<i>8.14.13</i>], here were the stats...<br />
>20 lbs. [<i>10-25th percentile</i>] <br />
>29.25 inches long [<i>25th percentile</i>] <br />
>Head circumference of 18.25" [<i>50th percentile</i>] <br />
<br />
Compare those to my last list of numbers and you'll see that I've been a growing man! <br />
9 month check-up stats—[<i>5.14.13</i>] <br />
> 18 lbs. [<i>25th percentile</i>] <br />
> 28 inches long [<i>25th percentile</i>]<br />
> Head circumference of 18" [<i>50th percentile</i>]<br />
<br />
Still a little top heavy, but I can't complain.<br />
<br />
Well that about wraps it up, folks. Speaking of which, I need to officially announce that I will no longer be making monthly posts. Mom will still keep you updated on how I'm doing and I'll make an occasional guest post on here every now and then, but I'm a busy man these days. There are cabinets to get into, books to read, and things to be destroyed. I must heed that calling first. Don't be sad, there will still be plenty of Haddon to go around. I'll make sure Ma keeps here camera on hand.<br />
<br />
It's been a delightful year, my dear followers. Thanks for cheering me on every step of the way. I'm so thankful for each and every one of you.<br />
<br />
grace to ya,<br />
Haddon<br />

Tomorrow he will be a one-year-old. I didn't think I'd be a crier about this, but I have been a bit weepy! We love this kid so much and I can't believe a year has come and gone. Oh my, what a year it has been...<br />

We're not quite one yet in the picture above, but we had an early birthday celebration in Tuscaloosa last week. The lovely Lynn Pugh took some photos that I'm sure will be on display in the near future. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear all about it in Haddon's big "One Year" post— you may just have to wait a bit to get it ;)<br />
<br />
Haddon Pugh, we sure do love you. Thanks for a wonderful year. We pray that there will be many more to come.<br />

I was hoping we were all pregnant in this picture, but I wasn't just yet. Can you believe all Klein girls were pregnant together for one teeny-tiny window of time?!<br />

<br />
I'm sure most of you know this already, but this news just hasn't received the attention it should on our family blog. I kept Haddon from sharing it in his monthly updates, wanting to play it up a bit more, and as usual, I'm a little late [<i>no pun intended</i>].<br />
<br />
Wow. I'm still impressed with the subtle humor I just did there. Very unintentional.<br />
<br />
Moving right along... On April 20th, we found out that Baby Pugh #2 was in the works. When I went to the doctor, I was surprised to find out that I was already 7-8 weeks along, giving us a tentative due date of December 5th.<br />

Yes, Haddon will barely be 16 months old. Yes, this was planned :)<br />
<br />
Well then we rushed off to Paris and returned to a rather important ultrasound appointment. I was barely 17 weeks [<i>which I think is the earliest they can tell?</i>] and it was time for the big gender reveal. I honestly would have been excited for either because if it were a boy, then there would be a fun confidence in that— but if it were a girl, it would be a sweet change to the Pugh household.<br />

<br />
We welcome this sweet little change!!! Haddon Pugh is going to have a little sister.<br />
<br />
Eden Anastasis will be her name. We'd had the first name in mind for a while now, but the middle name came up only a couple of weeks before we found out. Kam took Greek last semester and Anastasis [<i>we'll pronounce it Ah-nah-stah-sis</i>] means resurrection. He mentioned it to me and I loved it! She may not be able to say it [<i>or spell it!</i>] for the first few years of her life, but hopefully one day she'll appreciate the meaning behind it all.<br />

I was a champ on the flight back to the states and due to a slight mix up on the airport's part, we got a free carseat! I'm sure Mom will share that story on here at some point, so I won't steal her thunder. I'm riding big these days.<br />

I also got a haircut while we were in Decatur. Sadly, we have no photos to document this important event, but I'm <b>pretty</b> sure you can tell which of these photos are pre- and post-haircut. The mullet is gone...<br />

We kept the family travels alive by heading on to Tuscaloosa to visit all our people there. For some reason, Big Daddy and Mama T's house always makes people sleepy, so lots of naps took place...<br />

A fun fact about me these days is my love for food [<i>I come by it honestly</i>]. I've started getting <b>really</b> upset when my food is gone. Especially yogurt. I love yogurt. Here's a typical Haddon face when my food is gone...<br />
<br />

<br />
For some reason, Mom and Dad remain unaffected by my theatrics.<br />
<br />
Because I love to eat things, I also love biting things. All things. I may or may not bite my parents. Often. Sometimes it's playful, but sometimes when I get frustrated or angry I <b>must</b> bite something. Sometimes I even bite myself. This leads to another new occurrence in my life— the stern "no." I'm learning to respond to that, as well as my name. This has been going on for a few months now, just forgot to mention it.<br />
<br />
I do make up for my biting with my kissing, though. They're kind of like bites, but without the chomp of the feisty fours. This softens Mom up a bit after I've <b>accidentally </b>left some teeth marks in her leg.<br />

To close out my eleventh month, I decided to get sick for a week. I had a fever, congestion, a swollen throat and was all kinds of pitiful. It was so bad that I wouldn't even nurse for a few days. This made Mom really sad, but I just couldn't breathe! She doesn't think I know this, but she's started weaning me this month, so I actually did her a favor by laying off for a bit. Right now, I'm only nursing in the morning and at night. I chug a cup of formula for with lunch and dinner and have been a really good sport about it. I can't wait to try whole milk next month!<br />
<br />
Well, I think I've covered my bases in terms of keeping you fine folks updated on my achievements and whereabouts. Number twelve is going to be quite a doozy! Keep your eyes out for that final update :)<br />
<br />
grace to ya,<br />

P.S. Mom officially ruined my life by not taking any "formal" ten month pictures. I know I don't always love those photo shoots but come on! We had such a great streak going... I'm sure she'll redeem herself, though. I guess we can give her a little grace. okpughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11513842603098891622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418643350401737579.post-31543617105073890172013-06-30T22:04:00.000-05:002013-07-09T21:07:14.724-05:00Ten Months!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bonjour! I've decided that I will no longer make disclaimers for late posts. I'm just going to own it and acknowledge the fact that life is flying by us and I'll try to fill you in on it as much as possible! Boy, do I have quite the tenth month to share with you. I think I can identify with <a href="http://youtu.be/MmFN9C9PVpg" target="_blank">Johnny Cash</a> and tell you, "I've been everywhere, man." We'll let that be the theme song of this post...<br />
<br />
I ended my <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2013/05/nine-months.html" target="_blank">ninth month</a> with a family-fun-filled trip to Gatlinburg, right before my Dad headed to the Middle East for 3 weeks. Let me tell you, folks– it is NO FUN having that guy gone. Mom did a pretty good job keeping me distracted though, hence the following travels... <br />
<br />
Our first stop was at Big Daddy and T's house in good ole' Tuscaloosa.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggpaRPLvwRivkJ37i2DOXBUkCaF9HNB0RVCh469X_Ql-g8D5g_EZB8iBffT3_42YpdUTOB0jJ0exWjTYyqJN7pLBPykE4I39fv8nJV6XP9NGjGsdySyOhnLW7dI3dGVnB8Pk_p2CPe5Ws/s600/snugglingT.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggpaRPLvwRivkJ37i2DOXBUkCaF9HNB0RVCh469X_Ql-g8D5g_EZB8iBffT3_42YpdUTOB0jJ0exWjTYyqJN7pLBPykE4I39fv8nJV6XP9NGjGsdySyOhnLW7dI3dGVnB8Pk_p2CPe5Ws/s600/snugglingT.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I got lots of good snuggle time with T and Big Daddy helped me discover the inner rhythm that was hiding in my bones, waiting to break forth in dance.<br />

<br />
I also love windows and doors. They have become a primary source of entertainment for me.<br />

It also doesn't hurt the fun if a vent is nearby. <br />

I think the windblown look suits me...<br />
<br />
We then headed north to hang with Nana and Papa in Decatur, where lots of fun new activities were waiting for me. Our first big night consisted of a cookout with friends before the annual <a href="http://alabamajubilee.net/" target="_blank">Alabama Jubilee</a> at Point Mallard where I got to see my first hot air balloons. <br />

I'm also all about opening cabinets and drawers, so Nana introduced me to the tupperware cabinet. I guess if I'm going to cause destruction, they want me to do it with some of the safest objects possible.<br />

The Alabama travels came to a close, only to bring forth the great crescendo unveiling the ultimate destination: PARIS!!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In my tenth month, I became a world traveler, ya'll.</b> [<i>And in her 25th year, my Mom finally did!</i>] I was a champ on the 8 1/2 hour flight over and we finally got to reunite with Dad! We're never letting him go away for that long ever again. Unfortunately there are no pictures of this reunion because Mom was too busy kissing and hugging Dad. I made it a little awkward for them though because Mom had me strapped to her in the carrier. It was quite the family hug!<br />
<br />
The last week of my tenth month was the first of three we would spend in Paris. Mom hopes to one day get some blog posts up of our time there, so here are just some glimpses of that first week. [<i>And by glimpses I mean extreme picture overload</i>]<br />

A couple of quick developmental tidbits...<br />
No more teeth, but I have a sweet looking gap between my two front teeth. No need to post another picture, I know you noticed. It's hard to miss.<br />
<br />
I'm not walking yet, but still getting around like a champ. My new favorite thing is to have things in both hands while crawling around. I tend to implement them as sliding mechanisms as well.<br />

Aunt Lynn also hooked me up with a new toy that I can play with standing up. It has a dancing bear on top that I like to slap around. It's also a good place to practice my new moves. I'm sure my Mom will get a video of that soon.<br />

Hopefully there's not too many things I neglected to update you on. We are already about 3 weeks in to my eleventh month, so I did my best to remember it all. It's hard to believe that I'll be one year old in less than a couple of months. Poor Mom, her baby's all grown up!<br />

I appreciate your patience, and I haven't received too much hate mail for my delay. I shall not make excuses, but I <b>will</b> make mention of the fact that my Dad is out of the country and has been since May 11 [<i>the day after my 9 month birthday</i>]. In our day and age, there is this little invention called Skype. It allows you to video chat with someone, no matter where they are, as long as they have an internet connection. This being said, Mom <b>always</b> is on the computer. Okay, maybe not always, but <b>most</b> of the time. [<i>Are you catching my drift of why it's been hard for a guy to get a few quiet moments alone with the computer?</i>]<br />
<br />
But that's enough of that. Let's move on to what you're really here to read about. Mom better be glad I have an excellent memory...<br />
<br />
I guess the biggest achievement of the month was that I left the army crawl behind. As manly as I felt, hands and knees have become much more efficient. <br />

Now that this has happened, I am ALL OVER THE PLACE. Things are getting moved, doors are getting closed, and my parents are learning that the Pughplex wasn't as "babyproof" as they thought. I prefer the term, "Haddon proof," though. It makes me sound more legit.<br />
<br />
I'm still barreling on behind that walker of mine. Unfortunately, I don't have an up to date video of the progress I've made, but for the sake of getting this post to the public, I'll impress you with my skills at another time.<br />

As I predicted in my <a href="http://himweproclaim.blogspot.com/2013/04/eight-months.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, my top two teeth have come through with full force [<i>and quite a bit of space in between!</i>]. The first one broke through on March 30th and the second followed exactly a week later on the 7th. I haven't been too cranky about them. I'm actually rather proud and smiley.<br />

These teeth have come in handy when my Mom decided to introduce some finger foods. Surprisingly I don't like any of the puffs or cheerios or anything. They're just too small... I prefer something I can take a chunk out of. Lately, my favorites are Baby Mum Mums and some Happy Munchies rice cakes. I'm trying the Mum Mums in the video below [<i>I eat them much more assertively these days</i>].<br />

I also did lots of traveling in month 9 [<i>I think that's going to be the theme of my summer</i>]. We got to spend some time in Decatur and Florence to meet my new cousin— Baby Cohen!!!!!<br />

One of my favorite things about this past month was our vacation trip to Gatlinburg. It was supposed to be a Lakeview staff retreat for Dad, but that ended up getting cancelled. Thankfully, we still had rooms booked, so we went anyway! It was so good to have that family time before Dad headed off to the Middle East.<br />

Well, then we got in...<br />

Maybe it was the cold water, maybe it was how big and overwhelming it seemed, but something had me a little wigged out. Don't worry, I'll try it again sometime. This was just not the day to have fun in the pool.<br />

It didn't take much for Dad to cheer me up after the semi-traumatic experience.<br />

Speaking of traumatic, I got quite the head injury during our vacation as well. We were at a restaurant and I decided to do a little acrobatics in my carrier seat that was balancing on top of a highchair [<i>I will say the supervision on Mom's part was lacking a bit</i>]. Before I knew it, I was flipping out on the floor. I'm not sure what hit my forehead, but something sure did.<br />

Thankfully we had already finished up our meal, so the commotion caused was minimal. Poor Mom. She was so sad...<br />
<br />
We've all recovered though and it's definitely the last thing I remember from our wonderful trip. Can you believe the next family vacay is going to be in Paris? I'll be turning 10 months over there, so my next blog post might be quite a doozy! Hopefully I'll be a little more punctual on that one— at least I'll have a 6 [<i>or seven?</i>] hour head start!<br />
<br />
Thanks for wanting to know how I'm doing. I love my readers!<br />
<br />
Grace to ya [<i>Dad helped me come up with a new sign off</i>],<br />

No, not Haddon :) I dropped Kam off in Atlanta today for his <a href="http://www.metsprogram.com/" target="_blank">METS</a> orientation. For those of you that don't know, Kam is going on a Middle East Travel seminar (hence, "METS") for three weeks. This is a trip that involves students from a handful of seminaries and our Kameron was selected to be one of those participants!<br />
<br />
He's now in Stone Mountain, GA for a couple of days of orientation and then will fly out on Monday. This trip will include time in Jordan, Israel, and Greece. It really is the trip of a lifetime, but we'd be silly to think it won't be hard around here without him. Pray for our family! We do want to redeem the time and know the Lord has ordained these next three weeks, just as He has every day of our life. No pity parties allowed!<br />

We were blessed to be able to have some vacation time in Gatlinburg this past week, so we were very thankful for a sweet family getaway before Kam headed out. [<i>Shout out to the Speths for their timeshare hookup!</i>]<br />

Haddon and I will both miss snuggling with this guy, but at least we get to reconvene in Paris! For those of you that don't know, as a part of Kam's internship at Lakeview, we'll be spending 3 weeks in Paris. Haddon and I will fly over and meet Kam on June 3rd and we'll return on the 24th. So I can't complain too much ;)<br />

When I googled the Shakespeare quote to make sure I had the wording right [<i>so I wouldn't look like an idiot trying to sound romantic</i>], dictionary.com provided me with this fabulous definition: <br />
