Well I finally had to bite the bullet and take down the mobile and the bumper pads. Marek is getting so big now and is pulling himself up in his crib. I am sure it was only a matter of days before he figured out that he could use the bumpers and the mobile to get out of his crib. These days Josh and I are doing a lot of chasing, Marek is very fast at crawling now. He is all over the place and seems to gravitate to the least safe thing in the room first. I have already rescued a dime from his mouth and he seems to find things everywhere. I am very excited to be heading back to MN for a week!!!! I can't wait for everyone to see Marek and for him to get some good quality time with family. And even when we get back, Elizabeth is coming to visit to help out while I start my new job. I need extra help because I will be a single mother for 2.5 weeks. I tried it out last week, it was hard, but now too bad. I just didn't think i could do it and start a new job.
Marek is also talking a lot now. He says da da and occasionally ma ma. He doesn't really now what he is saying, but it is still cute. HE does a lot of chattering too. I will try to get pictures up here soon.

JOB!!!!
I am finally a 2nd grade Teacher!!! I have been waiting for this for soooo long. I am very excited about this opportunity. We are now working on childcare for Marek. I would love to keep him where he is, but we can not afford it!! Other then this, there is not that much going on in NC. Hopefully Marek and I will be making it home before I start my new job.
Marek is getting so much bigger everyday. He had learned to feed himself, and is so proud of it. He can pick things up and get them to his mouth now. He pulls himself up on everything, and has started cruising along furniture. I got a new camera from my awesome father-in-law (thank you sooo much) So hopefully I will figure out how to post pictures on here soon.

Back to Work
Well the vacation was awesome and much needed. KY was fun and we got to see everyone at least for a little while. Marek got to meet Great Grandma Burgess, she called him little Josh. So, I guess that settles that, he looks like his dad. I just hope he does not act like his dad. We watched some old videos and Josh was a little hyper. Marek also got to go for his first Golf Cart ride. Josh's cousin was in an accident that left him partially paralyzed and with vision problems, and he is the proud owner of an 8000 dollar golf cart. It is the nicest golf cart I have ever seen , and Marek went for a couple rides in it. I was nervous at first, but relaxed and let him have fun. He loved when Papa drove, but daddy drove a little too fast :)
We went swimming a couple times in Aunt Debbie's pool, Marek loved it. He loves the water and has no fear. He is the only baby I have ever met that loves to be splashed in the face. He just cracks up when you splash him, it is so cute. We have a small pool at home for him but have yet to try it, I am sure he will love it.
When we got back we had a couple days before daddy came home. I had a second Interview at a charter school, we are still waiting to hear anything on that (pray). We hung out and did some shopping (which I am sure Marek loved) and waited for daddy to get home. I a have decided that Marek is NOT a shopper, he decided to poop all over everytime we walked into a store.
We celebrated Marek's first 4th of July, it was great. We went to Carrboro to the festival that they had there. There was music and food, and lots of stuff to play with. Next year he will be much more able to enjoy it. We watched the fireworks at Kenan Stadium. They were awesome. It is cool to be so close to the action. They were loud though, but Marek was a Rock Star, he jumped at the first one and then just watched the rest of the time. I have some pictures and video that I will try to upload at some point.
I guess this is a long enough post for now. Since we are back in civilization I should be able to update more often. If anyones how to reattach a backspace key, let me know. I have learned that Marek is not allowed near the computer :)
