A Month in Review

Its been more than a month since I have updated this blog, what a major fail! I love writing about our family and especially Scarlett, and I LOVE sharing it with family and friends that arent around to enjoy her everyday.... but life has been so hectic, so we will just do a review and continue from there.

The Major developments:

• Buying our house is still a go. We are waiting on the appraisal (still...) and just found out that the appraisers parents passed away in a car accident. I feel bad for ever even complaining about the wait because what a horrible tragedy for her and her family, and it reminds me that waiting is nothing in importance. Praying for that family!
• I am starting a business. I am going from an independent contractor at the studio to fully running a business and the entire fitness program. It is a big change and a lot to take on but I feel like now is the time and I will be a success!
• Scarlett is WALKING!!! She is walking all the time, everywhere. She loves to explore and went from a very clingy little baby to a VERY independent toddler. Funny how as soon as we figure something out about her... she changes once again.

The minor details :-)

• Nicks job is going okay and we are saving like crazy for the house. We stopped buying groceries lol that seems to be our one major sacrifice
• Scarlett started eating with a spoon. She loves it so much that when whatever she is eating is done and I take it away she starts screaming! She makes a huge mess but its so cute I cant say I even mind cleaning it up.
• When I ask her "Wheres Daddy?" "Wheres Mommy?" "Wheres Tasha?" and so on, she will put her hands face up like she is shrugging her shoulders and the find the person (or dog lol) and point to them. Its adooorrable!
• She loves to be chased around. I said "Im going to get you" and she squeals and runs (or crawls) away. She loves playing it with Daddy too.
• We went on our first boat ride since she was born and had a GREAT time. She hated the life jacket but loved swimming with me in the lake. I thought she might be too cold but she loved it too much to be bothered at all.
• She has been sleeping really great, only usually waking up around 430am and then going back to bed until 7ish. She is eating really well and I think she has even gained a pound or two... hooray! And she got one more tooth, 5 in all now :-)
• She loves playing with little things. She would love if I let her play with coins all day (which I obviously dont) but she loves things she can pick up with the pincher grasp. She also loves buttons and has been turning the tv on &off (on and off and on and off and on) until I come over and say NO and try using a distraction... sheesh!

Scarlett continues to be the center of our world and we spend our weekends together as a family or with friends. Life really is great right now :-) Update coming sooner than later next time! Also, PICTURES!
