House, Baby Steps, and Cousins

Our mortgage was approved, and so we'll be moving into our new house in Picture Butte at the end of April. We've already paid our last rent check, and now we get to make mortgage payments instead, which will be cheaper than the rent we were paying here in Three Hills.

In other news, Alex has taken his first steps. He started walking a week ago today. He's still shaky, and his record is six steps before going down, but we're pleased that he's getting there. He has also mastered the art of climbing onto furniture. Unfortunately, we don't have pictures of him doing either. All I have is this picture of him trying to climb onto a trunk:After several failed attempts at potty-training Kenny, he decided all on his own today that he was going to start peeing in his potty. He successfully peed twice in the potty this afternoon.
Earlier this week, we got a visit from Jenn, Anders, and the boys. They had been in Drumheller looking at the dinosaur museum, and they stopped in for dinner and a visit on their way home. Kenny had fun with Micah, Alex had fun with James, and Jonah, Sam, and Nathan had fun with Rock Band 2. It's always fun to see babies play with each other. It's not often Alex gets to hang out with someone his own age.
