Whoops! I did it again, bad blogger. But hey cut me some slack; I bought a house, moved, bought a new car, was a bridesmaid in two weddings and am trying to figure out the whole juggling a baby and getting stuff done thing.
I might ad that my macbook is on its last legs and likes to freeze, shut down randomly and the battery can hardly hold a charge, looks like I need to save up for a new one soon.
So lets get back to whats been going on since my April and May favorites. So the last time I checked in May was coming to an end, Mike and I were looking for a house and Everly was 3 months old. Well a lot has happened, let me tell you! On the house front Mike and I purchased our first house! I was very nervous at first, scared we made the wrong choice and I was going to hate it, but its starting to feel more and more like a home. Plus it is our starter, with plenty of jobs for Mike to tinker away at and we don't have to stay here forever. Our offer was accepted in June and we moved in at the beginning of August. We purchased a semi-detached 3 bedroom raised bungalow. Our kitchen and laundry room need the most work. We also have purple (yes purple) carpet on the lower floor. That will be ripped up and replaced with a nice laminate....eventually. We also need to do quite a bit of yard maintenance and landscaping. All these things will come in time - which I need to keep reminding myself. I'm such a type A personality that I need and want things done right away, my husband likes to remind me that we need to save up money for these projects first! He keeps me grounded.
I had the pleasure of being in two weddings this year. my sister-in-law's on June 21st and a couple of best friends Eric & Nicole's on October 4th. So I have also been busy with bridal showers and wedding festivities. Everly was just a young thing at 4 months old for my sister-in-laws wedding, which was a little difficult. My mom and dad attended the wedding and babysat for me for the whole day. By the reception Everly had had enough she was tried, hot and extremely un-happy. Thank goodness for a Grandma who didn't mind comforting her granddaughter while I looked on helplessly from the head table. For Eric and Nicole's wedding, Everly being 8 months old and Mike not being in the wedding helped a lot. Mike and Everly came along with me while we got ready with the bridal party. For the photos and reception Mike and my parents did a wonderful job keeping Everly happy and fed. Plus she loved all the attention from other guests.
Just a week after we moved into our new house in August I bought a new SUV! My first car was a gorgeous black Cruze LT Turbo with black and red leather interior, it was loaded and it was wonderful! However it is not a family car, and not conducive to a new mother with arthritis in her back. So I made the decision to wholly embraced motherhood and traded my car in for a Pontiac Torrent. Smooth ride, lots of room and am loving I don't have to kill myself getting the stroller in and out of the back. I know, I'm such a mom.
Perfect segway into a baby update! Everly started rolling over, back to stomach and stomach to back. She absolutely LOVES jumping into her jolly jumper. She moved into her own room (much to my dismay). She has vocalized "mama, dada, bubba bubba, hi" and a lot of other random babbling. She doesn't know she's saying anything but it excites us none the less. She has also started on solids and I'm trying to get the whole weaning process started, but its kind of hard and confusing mostly because its so easy and convenient to put on her a boob. TMI?....ANYWAY. Everly's crazy, sneaky, adorable little personality has been growing day by day and I'm so excited for what the rest of this year is going to hold. I think she's about ready to crawl any time now.
Other than that just trying to love life and enjoy every moment these days. Our first thanksgiving with Everly is coming up and we also celebrated our 3rd Wedding Anniversary in August, Mike's 25th birthday in August and my 24th birthday in August as well. It was a great summer and went by way to fast! Now that fall is officially here and Everly it getting on a decent routine I can finally start putting some effort into the whole blogging thing. We'll see, I probably shouldn't make any promises....
Next up will be a home decor post I believe!
See you later!
