A lot of people have asked about our house situation. Well, the sale fell through!!! You have no idea how relieved we are! The buyers pretty much stopped doing anything towards closing and just ditched. We were more than ok with it. We really didn't want to buy a new home here, that would be lame. Were stoked to stay in our neighborhood, our ward, and our home that we've put so much work into!
Speaking of homes and projects, we now are creating another list. We're addicted. Since we've lived in this home 2 years i've parked in the garage....once. Literally. Shaun even calls the garage a shop. Its funny. Well we might as well make that shop a real shop! Shaun got a new planer, and table saw so the tools are adding up. I think it would be a great place for Shaun to be able to unwind, and I'm pretty excited for the things that comes from that shop! Like an entertainment center, buffet table and a new bed for Carter! Since the crib will soon be handed to a little girl.
Oh speaking of little girl. Things are going great. Oddly enough the 2nd trimester has been the worst so far, the reflux is back but thats fixed with a couple pills :) and my hips ache all day. This whole 2nd pregnancy thing is WAY different than the first. I thought it would be the same, but nope not one bit. Weird. She also is a mover, nothing like Carter was though. I'm hoping that means that she will be much more chill. Carter is about doing me in! We're at 25 weeks now so 4 more to go! C'mon body, you can do this.
How about little Carter eh? Heaven HELP US! He now 10 months and decided crawling is much better than the army crawl he's been doing for the last 3 months. Well it took him no time to really figure it out and that little boy can MOVE. He crawls faster than I can walk. And lately he's decided that walking is much better than crawling. So we are now always in a hunched over position holding him as we walk miles on end. Its hilarious. He's also become quite the pill. He's a little tornado of disaster. Today we started the day out by him taking a bath. I started the tub then went to make our bed. I come back to garbage, towels and my phone taking a swim. Doi. Next i'm getting him breakfast and I look over to him throwing around formula that he some how figured out how to open. Then we found the toilets. Oh how he loves the toilets. So fun to stick our hands in and play in the water. Its even more fun to open the lid and slam our fingers. I cant help but laugh. Its funny how fast he can get into things and the face he makes when he knows he shouldn't be doing it but its just to fun not to. He also thinks the firm "no's" are hilarious. I love it. Oh a fun thing to mention is our new thing is for us all to go upstairs just before his bed time and let him run around naked. Its adorable and so fun. He always has a crazy amount of energy and will giggle the entire time. Kids are exhausting but sure are entertaining!
Here's a list of his like and dislikes I want to remember. This is my favorite stage so far. Its been so so fun to chase that little bug around.
