Hello all! Well, I finally got Joseph to teach me how to post (definitely easier than I thought). I became even more eager to learn since this is a very busy time of the year for Joseph, and doesn't have much extra time to put things on the blog. Also, I am having a lot of alone time these days and thought I could use it to have "outside" communication.
We have had some exciting things happening at the Martin house, and I thought I would share them. First of all, Winston is growing faster than I ever thought. He is exploring new things everyday, and I give our Lord all the praise for his good health, sweet disposition, and good development. He now has four teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom). He is pulling up on anything that will hold his weight (sometimes on things that won't), and has even let go to "free stand" for a few seconds. He is starting to build quite the little vocabulary as well (probably gets that from me since I used to get in trouble in school for talking). He says "dada", "momma", "ight" (light), "nana" (banana), and "hot" (stove). He also recognizes several toys and body parts. For example, if you say, "Winston, where's your duck?" or "Winston, where is Dada's ear?" he cheerfully points it out or goes to find it. I just can't get enough of this little guy (can you tell?).
Secondly, a couple of weeks ago my audition process for "Wheel of Fortune" came to an exciting end! After the initial tryout and the final audition round, I received the much anticipated letter in the mail. I have been chosen as a contestant, but it be 18 months until I get called to the show. Therefore, I am trying to forget about it (except for answering any call to our house - even the annoying telemarketers) as I wait for "the call". I am extremely excited since I have been a "Wheel Watcher" for as long as I can remember!
