Paperwork

After waiting a long while, and finally getting the call that the paperwork for closing on the house is ready, we went and got it all finished up. Some of the people at the title company even stayed late so we could get it taken care of. I am so glad because we have the fridge, washer and dryer coming tomorrow! We would have had to reschedule that. You were such a sweet girl during the closing. One of the ladies carried you around and showed you all the pictures on the walls (you LOVE that). You also did a little hanging out on the table in the room we were all sitting in.

Wonderful weather today/Home ownership

The weather today was so great! It got up to 75 degrees and you were able to wear a summer dress. We settled on our house today...which means that we own a house, baby! We are moving next weekend. You probably won't ever remember living in this apartment that you have been in for the past 7 months. You'll always remember your new house.

While we were waiting for the paperwork to get ready, we went to the park. We tried to put you in a baby swing for the first time, but you didn't seem to like it very much, so Daddy decided to sit on a swing with you. You laughed and laughed as he would swing. It was so much fun!

Summer dresses

I love these little summer dresses on you. You are so silly and smart! These keys are a lot of fun...one of the first things you tried to grasp on your own intentionally.

Closing on the house tomorrow. We are so excited. Living in the city is great but we want to have somewhere for you to play outside, learn to ride your bike...and parking lots. I am looking so forward to parking lots.

Eating

You really like carrots! So much! You also like apples, bananas, squash, and pears. You think that green beans are just OK:

You really weren't very interested in them in that picture. So we switched to carrots:

Much better!

Turning pages

Today you started turning pages of board books on your own. I help you, a little, but it looks like you love to read already!

Busy!

I have been pretty busy lately. I know it is no excuse but I am behind on posts for your blog. We have been doing so much lately. You really love your jumperoo, and you still like your swing. The playmat is gone to another baby now because you grew tired of it. It was your favorite for so long!

Tummy and floor time are still a little bit of a struggle. You like to do it, but not for very long at one time. You've decided that you aren't really to be really rolling around yet, even though you can, which is OK with me right now, because we are moving in two weeks to your new house!

No more apartment living for you, baby. Daddy is buying you a nice house to grow up in. We love you very much!

Baby foods!

You have started eating "real" food! Twice a day, on most days, you are having some baby food from a jar. It's pureed and easy to swallow. Your favorite so far is carrots, and your least favorite is green beans, but you are liking them a little more.  Here's a picture of you eating some carrots!
