It has finally happened; Will has learned to crawl. I'm both thrilled and agonizing over this development. I love that he's hit this milestone, but so not looking forward to keeping track of him as he roams all over the house. He did it for the first time at my parents house in Utah. Ironically, Steve and I weren't even there! We were over visiting with my friend Barbara and her family. It was only the second time we had left him with other people since he was born. Figures, eh? But at least my mom and dad got to see it. I'm sure that was a treat for them. Will has also learned how to feed himself crackers. He's awfully fond of them, just like his daddy. So he can feed himself crackers, drink from a sippy cup by himself, crawl, and pull himself up to standing on furniture. He makes leaps and bounds, then doesn't seem to change too much for a little while. It's interesting.

    Steve did not get the job in Reno. RRRRR!!!! We think there was something odd going on there because they offered one of the two positions to an intern in Vegas who has only been in the weather service a year and a half and only has a fraction of the experience Steve does. So. We were less than pleased. On the other hand, maybe we just weren't meant to go to Reno. You never know. All we can do is keep applying to places we'd be okay with going. Sigh. He just finished applying to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Maybe that'll pan out, maybe not. We are so freaking READY for something to pan out!!! It's certainly not a case of Steve not doing enough; he's worked his butt off for all of the interviews and applications he's done. We'll just have to keep our minds open to the possibilities of new places, I suppose.
