new house

well, we finally found a house..

I enjoyed living with my mom.. she REALLY liked having her granddaughter here.
She got to watch her grow and learn, and pee on her floor.

so, yesterday we started moving into our new home. It is perfect.

We had a little help. My sister and neice came, Patrick's brother came, his mom and dad stopped by to see the place.

We just made trips back and forth from the storage unit with boxes. It was nice to set up my kitchen. The kitchen is small, BUT, we plan on adding furniture to supplement the lack of counter/drawer space.

It was definately a good day yesterday.

We plan on moving in slowly, and organizing as we go. I like this plan. I want to paint a little too. At least the kids' room.

Today will be another box day. YAY! It's like Christmas all over again. We find surprises we haven't seen in months.

Naptime

Naptime is one of super dad's favorite times..
he gets to hear the Bear get scolded just as Isabella did sometime earlier in the day.
he gets to hear her extensive vocabulary to persuade her way out of her bed...
he gets to hear all the songs we have been working on..
he gets to hear how her day was..
he gets to watch all the new acrobatics that can happen in the space of a crib...
he gets to see the Bear then get ostracized from the bed for being naughty...
he gets to see her fine motor skills as she learns to remove her diaper...
he gets to hear her say "I love you" and then hum herself to sleep...

its a wonderful thing

"hmm-hmm"

"hmm-hmm" is what you will hear when my daughter needs to get past you..
"hmm-hmm" is what you will hear if you burp or fart near her and you don't excuse yourself quick enough
"hmm-hmm" is what the chair hears before she moves it out of the way....

no matter how much I work with her, I CANNOT get her to actually say the words "excuse me" it has always been "hmm-hmm". It is with the same intonation you would hear if you couldn't say the words and only the hmm-hmm's though.. hilarious.
