our TINY back yard its like 7 ft wide by 40 ft long this is 1/2 of it. looks the same if you stand in the same place and look left :)
Wall art in graces room goes most the way around her room I love it!
We started these letters before grace was born and we finished them the week before we moved but they turned out great in the end!!
Grace is doing really well she is babbling all the time and I swear she is slipping real words in her jabbering. She is crawling and getting into everything 2 ft and lower. She can walk if she’s holding on to something and she is so fun. She is my best friend. I love that I get to stay home with her and see everything she does, even when its unrolling a whole roll of TP, dumping a box of tampons on the floor and playing in the toilet. Obviously the 15 min I spend getting ready in the morning is too much for her and so she turns to those types of antics. She is very dramatic and throws temper tantrums like a 2 yr old, throwing her self on the floor and caring on like it’s the end of the world. But she also lets me reason with her and I swear she looks like she understands everything I say to her! She has 4 teeth and her two top ones are soooo big!!! I think Her teeth are too big for her mouth right now because she has bitten her tongue a couple times and she hit her mouth and cut the septum that holds her upper lip her your gum, it was so scary for me blood everywhere I took her to the dr’s cos I was freaking out but she was fine. She has learned to click her tongue so she does that a lot. She likes to dance and in the car she likes listening to NPR ( probably because it puts her to sleep;) she is 20 lbs now, and almost 27 in tall. Here are some pics of her just being her.
she's laughing i think...
we found her sleeping like this one night
her tired eyes :) she had woke up at 6 am to go to the beach
her first attempt at crawling was in the tub....
listening to NPR :)
Ryan is doing good as well. He is getting busy fast so I think it’s a little stressful but he says he likes it better than work so I guess thats good. He is normally gone 8-6 working the whole time so it makes for long days. Even weekends he doesn’t have a lot of free time due to HW, church, and work around the house.
I’m getting better and cooking and keeping the house clean, mostly cos I don’t have much else to do but its kinda nice to come into a clean house and know that it looks that good cos of you J the one chore I don’t like is dishes I swear I finish cleaning the kitchen, turn around and it needs done again!! Drives me nuts. But if my kitchen isn’t clean I cannot do anything in it so I try to keep it in good shape. Grace loves to “help“ me in the kitchen especially with the dishwasher (taking everything out clean or dirty) and if she sees or hears the fridge open she makes a B line over for it and try’s to get into everything! It was cute the first few times but not so much any more.
I’m having fun too. I’ve joined a Moms Club and that’s fun. I’ve met lots of great friends and I can tell when we leave here it will be hard to do. Its hard for me to make close friends if I know were not going to be around forever but when everyone is in the same place as you with no money and no family around you make your own “family” and I’m grateful for my new family but I’m also sad because we will all go our own way one day and that makes me sad but I can’t focus that far ahead, I need to live in the now as they say. I’m over activity days at church and I love working with the girls I think this is going to be a fun calling.
