Fun Times in January

Sterling has started to walk! He has taken up to 6-7 steps at a time, but he still prefers crawling. He's still pretty wobbly. Aren't his little cow slippers so cute??

Here is Sterling at the middle school basketball game. We've been going to a LOT of basketball games- middle school, high school, church league, Depauw University games...Luke is trying to make up for lost time not watching any games over in Thailand! :) Sterling usually gets pretty bored at the games, but snacks are always a good distraction.

And here is Sterling's first "official" hair cut! We actually went to the salon and got it done. They gave him a sucker in hopes that he would sit still for the cutting, but as you can see, he still wasn't really about letting them get to close to his head. They didn't take too much off, he still pretty much looks the same.

And here he is watching his movie in the chair his grandma and grandad got him for Christmas. He looks like such a big kid sitting up there like that :)

Sterling over the last month

Here is Sterling in his carseat- something he definitely had to get used to. In Thailand he didn't have to ride in one at all, so it took him a while to be okay with so much restriction.
This is Sterling with his buddies Nathan Rector, Neal Woollard and his future girlfriend (ha ha) Cameryn Rector.

We took these two pictures while we were traveling from Thailand. The top pic was a stop in Taipei, Taiwan, and the bottom is still in Bangkok. After riding in a taxi, his stroller, on a plane, and waiting forever in lines, Sterling was always ready to get down and crawl around when he had the chance. (by the way, why don't we have nice play areas like that in American airports??)

Random X-mas pics

Here are a few random pictures from our Christmas in Iowa, plus one of Sterling at Luke's uncle Tim and aunt Rhonda's house playing with their dog, Skittles. Sterling LOVED Skittles and pretty much loves any other animals as well. The other two pics are just cute ones of Sterling and his girl cousins, Paige and Ava.

Parsons' Visit

Well, since I'm SO far behind, and there's no way I could get all my pictures on here from Christmas and everything, I think I'm just going to skip them...maybe I'll put on a few here and there over the next few days, but it is going to be very difficult to keep up with this like I used to because now that we're in America we don't have internet at our house! Anyways, our teammates came to visit last weekend and we had such a great time with them. We went to Marvins, saw all the animals at the farms and the kids all had fun playing together.
