We have a roof!

Of course I had to put a picture of my lil monkey first! Look her outfit matches her favorite toy!
We have a roof!

Our garage looks bigger than our house, but really it is not, or at least I don't think it is! A bigger garage holds more 'stuff', which I am really good at accumulating. Ha, and Chad thinks he is going to keep a boat in there!

I can't wait until they get to the siding, I am still a little nervous about the Light Blue siding, but it does actually look a little more gray than blue. Hopefully it will look ok, at least our house will look different the all the other various shades of tan and sage green.

4 1/2 weeks until closing.....on our house and hopefully the new one!

Ashlyn is 8 Months! and House Progress

Living Room side of the house
Garage side, the garage is framed as of yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to take pictures

My little ham! Isn't she the cutest? I love the little personality that is coming out of her.

Ashlyn can sit ALL BY HERSELF now!

No time to write much right now - like anyone wants to read it anyway - haha! More to come later.

House Progress.....

It is starting to look like a house. It is wierd how small it looks at this stage!

Thinking about Biter Biscuits?

Think again! I have given them to Ashlyn three times now. The first time she bit it in half and I got the chunk out of her mouth before she got it all the way in. The second time, messy but successful, she LOVED it......and so did Buddy, he got the remainder when she threw it on the floor. The third (and last) time, not good. In fact it scared the crap out of me. She was chomping away on it and then all the sudden she was choking. I had to dig a small chunk out of the back of her throat and she was still gagging so I took the highchair tray and dropped it on the floor (MESS) and tried to get her out of the chair just to realize she was fine. She probably just gagged from my finger being jammed in her mouth. She had a drink of water and she was happy. I, on the other hand, was completely freaked. The Biter Biscuits went straight to the garbage can. I guess we will stick to saltines from now on.

On a better note, when I went to check on Ashlyn this morning, she was soundly sleeping with her little butt up in the air! Do you think she will be crawling soon? I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't want to wake her up. I was hoping she was still sleeping like that when I was ready to get her up, but Daddy beat me to it. So no pictures, maybe she will do it again?

2 Years and Counting (Yesterday......)

Chad and I celebrated our two year anniversary yesterday! Wow has the time flown by! This year is already flying by too. Before we know it, we will be moving and Ashlyn will be turning ONE!

We didn't do anything fun for our anniversary, too busy and no babysitter. Oh well, maybe next year we can do something fun. We did however, pick out paint for our house. Super exciting I know!

Another update on Ashlyn, she started at Giggles -n- Wiggles daycare center on Monday and she is LOVING it! She is the only little girl in a room full of cute little boys! I think she is going to be one tough cookie! With a girlie streak I hope. I think she really likes being around all the other babies her age. Her Teacher said she just loves to smile and laugh at all the little babies. I think she is still adjusting to their schedule, but so far she has been all smiles. They said the only time she fusses is when they lay her down for a nap. She is not into the whole napping thing, she is afraid she will miss something. They do get her to take one 2 hour nap, so she is not too beat. She naps on the way home and then is read to eat and play again. I love it!

Isn't she cute!

Now for the most exciting part of our lives....

You gotta love the pony......

Snuggled up in the towel Grammie made.

Ashlyn's new favorite food, unsalted saltine crackers! YUM!

House Progress.....

Woo Hoo! I get to do 'House Progress' posts! Exciting - for me anyway!

I know, I know......boring. BUT it will get more exciting soon!
