Missing in Action

Where have we been you're asking...

I know I know.

But we have basically spent all our time working...aaaand at target.

Care to see our finds so far?

I CAN'T WAIT to see it all together.

So we started off with this rug:

Then we went black friday shopping and a stumbled upon this find:

This is actually a bookcase! But I liked it SOOOO much more as a media center and it was so much cheaper and nicer than the other media stands they had available. Sweet.

And we just finished our final trip, hopefully (ya right) tonight.

We got these baskets to go in the "tv stand"

This shower curtain:

And finally this cabinet which we'll likely use for storage of some of bugs toys in the living room, but it's primary purpose will be hold boyfriends giganta-huge fish tank.

Can you tell I have a thing for blue?

Hahah it's not even my favorite color. Purple is...followed by green. But in regards to home decor I LOVE blue, it's so calm and serene.

I also LOVEEE gray, our current bedroom is gray but unfortunately we'll be losing that color.

Our little family will be all moved in TWO weeks from today...AHHH.

Anddddalso my buggy has a fever. Well had.

She woke up soooo warm and mopey and so not bug-like. I knew right away something was wrong.

She had a 101.2 fever. It totally breaks my little mommy heart.

We took her temperature an hour ago and it was 98.4! Yippee!!!

Thank god it was short-lived because I can't hand sad mopey bug. It's like a knife through the heart.

All is good for our little family but it is about to get verrrrrry busy.

Good busy, but busy nonetheless.

Can't wait to be in our new little home and enjoy our first christmas as a family! :D

Holy Crap!!!

Today is the day of AWESOME NEWS

Well first off!!!

Confessions of a Serial Napper hit

Holy crap...mother of all things wonderful and great with the world. I can't believe it.

You guys are the best.

Thanks for making me feel pretty damn special, and an extra super awesome thank you to my followers and frequent commenters. I love sharing with you all and being able to read about your crazy and wonderful lives too.

And speaking of all this awesome and thankfulness, I guess I have something else to thank you guys for.

Because all that praying, wishing, hoping you did for my little family...well...IT WORKED.

WE GOT OUR DREAM APARTMENT!!!

And we move in REALLLL soon.

I am SOOOO excited.

I can't even believe we're this lucky.

So if you need me I'll be here...trying to wrap my mind around it all.

The Bug Update

My god can we talk about how this baby just doesn't STOP learning?

Like...Slow...the...eff...down.

So Bug is now 9 months and her most recent milestones include:

Adding the word "Dada" to her repertoire (which boyfriend totally attempts to act all like "whatever...no biggie" about but is secretly losing his shit over)

Clapping her hands (it's literally like heart wrenchingly cute) ...especially when she does it because she likes a song and proceeds to dance and clap.

WAVING!!! She literally just did this on thanksgiving for the first time. As we were leaving her uncle waved goodbye to her and that little crazy took us all by surprise and waved back. We were all like

Followed immediately by

And the final thing she has done is stand unassisted.

I shit you not.

So this little buttface (for lack of a better word) loves my phone.

It's like baby catnip to her.

Well she found it lying beside me on the couch and decided that she needed it at that very moment and without hesitation grabbed it and start chewing/gumming it...except...little to her knowledge did she realize that the phone was occupying both her hands and not holding on to anything, and she stood for a solid two seconds. She hasn't really built upon it much more, you can tell she's terrified about it and wont really do it on her own unless she doesn't realize she's doing it.

We've gotten her to stand for about 10 seconds before plopping down but haven't really made much headway aside from that.

But this baby is just so absolutely terrfying-ly smart.

Slow you're roll, little bug, before you give mommy a heart attack.
