So we did this crazy stressful thing last week....we moved. We had been looking to move since the beginning of the year. We liked our apartment but knew we were paying too much and we needed something a little more T friendly (more space and more accessible to the outside). The only problem was our lease wasn't up until July. We put in a notice to the manager that our place was available so she could show it if anyone was interested. After a couple of months of waiting and looking for a place off and on, in one day we found renters for our apartment and found this great new place. It is a 3 bedroom 1300 sq.ft. duplex. It has a yard and a back deck (neither of which we had before), more space and is less rent. We are so excited that we found it! We moved in last Monday. It was more stressful and took longer than we anticipated. I didn't quite understand how adding a little baby in the mix could make things a lot more trickier. But we got through it and are finally settling in to our new home. It took T a few nights to get comfortable, again something I didn't expect. I think he is enjoying the space, he is always crawling from room to room checking things out.
T was in heaven with all the boxes and stuff he could get into.
It's amazing finding out how much stuff you really have when you move. We moved here only a year and half ago, but our family has gone from two to three and that has defiantly added to our accumulation of stuff.
Our new home! So glad there isn't three flights of stairs to walk up everyday. T wanted to sit outside and watch the rain I guess.
The back deck is so nice. And the view is a little more peaceful than a parking lot. You really don't understand how nice is it to have a deck until you don't have one.
Another good thing about our new place is the third bedroom. We have our office back. I am finally able to have a craft table. I am so excited about all the projects I get to do. Here is the first project I did. I have been wanting to use my Cricut for T's room since Christmas.
We are excited to be in a new place. We hope it turns out to be a better fit for us. It's not permanent, but we think it will be great for now.
T had his 9 month birthday last week and I didn't mention it on my last post. We can't believe he has been in our life for 9 months. He is growing too fast. But we are enjoying this stage of his life very much. He is a fearless little guy. He often thinks he can do more than he actually can. He is a climber, always climbing up on things, most of the time on Mommy. He thinks he can walk, but doesn't quite have the balance for it yet. The walking toy is a great way for him to practice. He is such a little boy already, he loves anything electronic, he loves to hits things, and he is always making a mess with toys or with food. Sounds just like the four brothers is grew up with. He is just a happy energetic baby boy. We love him so much and are so excited to see what he will learn next. Here are few of his latest photos.
T is getting his bottom teeth. They are coming in kinda slowing. Aren't they adorable. He wasn't too happy we were taking his picture, but at least we could see his teeth.
We got some video of T practicing his steps. This is for his cousins that just love to watch T's videos. We love you guys and are so excited to play with you in a couple of weeks!!! Sorry it's sideways.
