some new videos

Spurs win! Spurs win!

San Antonio finished off Phoenix tonight. Every year people pick against them. One of these years SOMEONE, besides me, will wise up and pick them.

So, to celebrate...here's two videos of Eowyn.

Eowyn

About time for pictures. When the death threats start rolling in, you know its time to download some new photos.

Eowyn sat in the seat of the shopping cart all by herself last week. She's sitting herself up, pulling herself up, and not staying in the rooms we leave her in anymore. Where have 8 months gone?







Can you find the two Cheerios hidden in this picture? Can you find the two bottom teeth? Can you see the two top teeth about to poke through?



Before...



...and after the water sippy cup.

A new addition to the Records clan

Maren & I are proud to announce a new addition to the family.

We will be getting a German Shepherd pup sometime early this summer, probably in early June. We are excited. We woke up Eowyn to tell her, but she kind of cried for a while and spit up, so we just put her back to bed, the toothing grouch. Totally ungrateful. We told Baylor we were getting her a puppy sister, and she got really excited. She went to look out the window.

It'll be nice to have a baby in the house for a change.

8 months

No, that's not how long its been since I last blogged, that's Eowyn's age. I'm sure those of you who are upset that I haven't posted any photos of our daughter who is now crawling and getting her top two teeth will be able to get over it. It was a very busy month directing the two plays. I was usually at school from about 7/7:30 every morning until 11 or 11:30 each night. Even weekends the weekends. But the shows have now come & gone, and I have much more time at home.

But Eowyn is growing up & changing quickly. She's a quick little bugger, too, and almost to the point where she's into everything. Right now she's only into 85% of everything. She climbs like a little monkey all over everything, trying to pull herself upright, and sits well on her own. About a week or 2 ago she amazed me by feeding herself her own bottle. Maren said, "Oh yes, she's trying." I said, "No, she IS feeding herself." Her crawling is still on her belly, but she's moving faster & faster.

I'll post new pictures soon.

Waco trip

So this past week was spring break. It was a MUCH needed break. We went to Waco Saturday morning just to get away for a couple of days, and it was great to see some friends. But tomorrow we start back up with school again, and as I write this, The Goonies is on TV. Let's hear it for Jonathan Ke Quan, better known for his role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when he yelled "Indy, Indy!" 5 dozen times. But, ah, Goonies, giving us an early glimpse of the acting prowess of Samwise Gamgee (a.k.a. Lynn McGill, Rudy, or, to those of us who know him, John Bower), and Edgar Frog (a.k.a. Teddy Duchamp, Ricky Butler (opposite Ray Peterson (a.k.a., Chuck Noland, Jimmy Dugan, Capt. John H. Miller, and Woody)), Dean, or just simply "how the heck did he get so many roles??"). But I digress...

So...anyway. Here's some pictures of Eowyn.



After watching Enter the Dragon on AMC with daddy, Eowyn's been listening to Carl Douglas on repeat for the last 7 days...



Its her "school spirit", "9 mos clothes are getting too small", "see how chubby my thighs are", and "best Michael Jordan impression, now all I have to do is dunk" look rolled into one...



with Tante Kirsten...who's probably going to see this, cry because she "misses us" (i.e., Eowyn), and then call around midnight her time...





...leave her for one second...this time she was scooting under her crib...



at the Waco Zoo





Refreshing slushy after the zoo...she's figured out the straw goes in the mouth, but she hasn't figured out what to do next.



Our friends Justin & Atalie. We stayed with them over the Waco weekend. Justin is multi-lingual, and here he's reading to Eowyn in High German.



With the Castleberrys.



You can't tell real well, but Eowyn was asleep, and she had her foot up on the wall.

A sad, sad day...

Man, we'll miss this guy...
