It has been a while since I have had a moment to blog... This homeownership thing is so crazy time consuming! The Home Depot crew knows us by name and my endless to-do list required me to make an entire chalkboard wall just to write it down. Ok maybe not.. But I did make one and I am in love with it!
We are slowly but surely making progress on the house. Hubby tore up the tile in the living room the weekend before we moved in. I know, it was a hard decision, but at the end of the day it was just so impractical. And with all the brick & stone in the fireplace, it looked like a rock garden in here. We have carpet for now which wasn't my first choice but it was affordable, practical & pretty darn cozy.
Patio furniture has arrived and we plan to screen in the porch soon. For now I refer to it as the jungle because there are always branches, leaves and all sorts of wildlife/lizards lurking around out there.
My charcoal bathroom is complete and I am in love. Why do I love dark walls so much?! Our dining room is the next fun project on the list! :) Wish I could just decorate it for Christmas already!!
In Harper news, she is officially four months old!! She is 90th percentile for weight & height. Holy smokes! What are we feeding this kid?! :) We started her on baby cereal, oatmeal actually, and are excited to add fruits & veggies in the coming months. It is so fun to feed her off a spoon and watch her dive bomb her face into it to get it into her mouth before someone else eats it! Such a little sweetie babe!
WHERE DID ALL HER BABY HAIR GO!?!?!?!? I think she traded it in for a neck.
Hope to be back to regular blogging again very soon.. Life needs to just slow... doooowwwwnnnn.. So i can catch up! Enjoy the pics! XOXO

ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!! The house is coming along great too! I can't believe how chunky Harper is....lol. Soooo cute. My babies lost their hair too over a few months. Some ended up bald! Can't wait to see what else you do with the house.
ReplyDeleteThe house looks great, and Harper is a total cutie. My question is... how did you get so tiny after only 4 months. I'm due in November and would like some tips on ways to lose the weight quickly.
ReplyDeleteI love charcoal walls! But my husband is much less amicable when it comes to dark paint choices, so we're pretty beige at the moment. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you look FAB for having an adorable baby only 4 months ago!

she is just darrrrrling! my {almost} 5 month old traded in his hair for a neck, too ;) he's also a chunk-a-monk, and I LOVE it! nothin' sweeter than rubber band thighs on a baby!
ReplyDeleteps...your house is simply gorgeous!
Agh! So happy to hear an update on your happy home life :) I was wondering just the other day if I accidentally unfollowed you or something on here because I hadn't heard anything for a while! :)
ReplyDeleteOur girlies are just a few days apart, Presley is in the 75% for weight & her head (big ole head!) and between 50-75% for height! Are you BFing or FFing? I can't remember! Either way we got some healthy babes. Good luck with the home, ultra jealous on how beautiful it is.
