a quick little update

Grey is crawling! He has been, actually, for about a month now. At first he wasn't so steady and his back legs would go forward at the same time like a little froggy. But now he's everywhere. It cracks me up to watch him get really excited about something across the room and crawl as fast as he can to get it. He looks like a little mechanical doll. The fact that he can get around by himself makes us both very happy. :) The kid is 21 pounds! Are you kidding me?
After months of eating, with pleasure, whatever was dangled in front of his face, he has now decided to be a picky eater. His once favorite foods, carrots and pears are no longer acceptable. He will only tolerate foods with meat and eggs, or an occasional banana or sweet potato. What a stink! He gets so excited when I put him in his highchair to eat. But if it's baby food, I get to listen to him wail in disappointment. It's a real treat. Thank goodness he still likes tomatoes, despite his dad's bad influence.
On another note, we are moving to Provo Monday. I still can't believe it, to be honest. We have been packing like mad people the past week and our house still is full of stuff. It's like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
I told Brock I have mixed feelings about leaving. Every day I feel another emotion. I know all you peeps who live in other states are thinking I'm a pretty big nerd, because it's just Provo...but that's exactly it-it's Provo! It is quite possible it may be more of a culture shock than if we moved out of state. I never thought, in a million years, I'd be in Provo. I'm an Aggie for Heaven sakes. :)
Seriously though, I think it will be a great experience for our family. I have already met several really cool girls that have husbands in Brock's program and a lot of them have little boys, Grey's age.
Thursday, Sherrie Dew was the guest speaker for his last day of orientation. She spoke about the power of influence. She is an amazing person. I really enjoyed everything she had to say.
I will leave you with a profound little quote from her speech : (Uh-Oh, am I already blogging like a Provoite?) And (Is that what I'm called now?)
"Show me the women of a family, a community and a nation and I'll show you the character and heart of that family, community and nation.
"Show me the men of a family, community and nation and I'll show you the strength and determination of that family, community and nation."
-Not sure who said it, but someone really cool.
