Can we actually enjoy our house now?!?

Finally! We are finished with ALL the projects for our house this year...I know David is ready for a break... but after watering the grass every other morning I think the next project will be irrigation system spring 2013




I could be wrong, but I think the green skinny plants are called pencil hollies (they are my favorite, esp once they are full grown) :)
 My other favorite is the laurel pedulum...
 & no post is complete without some Avah...
 Hi Mom!
 Book time, gotta love to read my mom is a teacher!

4 months 7/8/12

What's New?
*Avah is eating rice cereal (just a tablespoon full at her 6pm feeding) most of it ends up around her face, but she seems to enjoy playing with the spoon. ha!
*She is taking a sippy, yay!!! Its the nuby brand 4 mo. +, its like a transition from bottle to sippy so I guess we are just skipping bottle. :)
*When shes laying flat and we grab her hands she can sit up. She can also sit up by herself but she leans wayyy over to grab her toes.
*Toes are her new fav thing <3
*She has this infectious giggle, will mostly only do for Daddy but it is hilarious!
*When she wakes to eat around 5 or 6am I bring her in bed with us & she goes back to sleep for atleast an hour..I LOVE waking up with all if us in bed..its the best snuggle time!
*She sleeps for at least 9 hours, she keeps going to sleep earlier though. At 8 weeks it was around 9pm then she was always asleep by 8 now its 7 sometimes 6pm?!
*She takes 3 or 4 naps a day each lasting only 45mins to an hour.
*Loves the exersaucer.







 I am still struggling with the "post preggo eating habits"..I picked up some very unhealthy habits in the 3rd trimester. So this is my new go to snack: tomatoes, basil, some mozz with balsamic/evoo and salt/pepper. YUM!! Let me just tell all those ladies out there a scale means NOTHING. I have been back at my pre preg weight for a while...and skin on the belly and legs just doesnt look the same. :( Scales are just a #, it means NOTHING. haha..theres my advice.
