Happy Belated Valentine's Day

Hello, Just a quick shout out to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day! It was a fun weekend. I think Lance received more Valentine's then Heath or I combined! He's a very loved little guy! Lance made his Primrose Newsletter last week - "Lance discovered his tongue and likes to show it to all of us" Too funny! He has been having fun playing with his tongue and EVERYTHING must go in his mouth these days!!! Heath and I celebrated Valentine's on Friday night and Lance met a new babysitter, Monica. He only said a quick hello before crashing for the night, so an easy "first night" for Monica- she did great. It was fun to get out too!!! Lance found it very amusing this weekend that I had no voice or least a very raspy one - he laughed all day at me! He continues to love playing all his toys and very talkative! Cheers, Judith

Lance's Baptism

Hello,
This past weekend was an exciting weekend for Lance. On Saturday he met Joel and Jo Rotert passing through Houston on their way home from Mexico to Portland. It worked out well because they were able to spend the day and the Ruediger's arrived around 1 PM and we all had lunch!
On Sunday, Lance was baptized at the Christ the Reedemer Catholic Church. There were 22 children baptized during the ceremony! Lance did well - he cried a little bit when he was blessed with the freezing water (it was really cold) but fell asleep for the rest of the ceremony. Ginger and Jeff stood in as "proxy" godparents for us since Lance's godparent's (Aunt MaryBeth and Uncle Paul) could not travel here on such short notice. We will celebrate again with them on Easter weekend when we visit Albany!
Last week we had check up at Dr Leonhardt's to follow up on his cough, Lance is about 17lbs now. He is eating all his fruits,veggies, and both rice and oatmeal cereal. He really enjoys eating now. His teachers at Primrose have been so impressed with how well Lance will pay attention to books and seems to have so much to say- so much that today they described his "mood" as "talkative". He's definitely getting a great sense of humor too - he laughs so much! He really enjoys playing with all his toys! He just loves his "tool bag" from Uncle Steve, Aunt Julie, Carly and Lanie.
Hope all is going well with you!

Yeah Steelers win the Superbowl

Hello, It has been a busy weekend here for Lance! On Saturday he figured out how to "jump" in his jumper activity center. I officially switched over his clothes to the 6-9 month size - the waist is a little loose but length fits much better than the 3-6 month. He is growing so fast!!!! Tonight he was sleeping quietly for about an hour before kick-off and woke up just in time to watch the opening events and kick-off prior to getting ready for bed. Our friends Brad & Lindsey came over and Lance taught Brad why babies cannot jump around shortly after eating! (ha,ha) But he was good sport about it. Then Lance was off to sleep while we watched the exciting game - Go Steelers!!! Cheers, Judith
