House Update

A lot has happened on the house since my last post. As far as the outside goes we have shingles and are just waiting on the siding. On the inside we have the plumbing, wiring, and air conditioner duct work. Once all of this was finished we were at a stand still for about 2 weeks.

They finally showed back up this week and we got insulation and sheet rock.

Once the sheetrock went in, things really started to look more like our home.

(They ran out of sheetrock in the garage but that will be finished as well.)

*As of today, the sheet rock has been mudded. Hopefully next week we will have paint on the walls. :)

8 months 1 day....

And we get our first tooth.

I have been expecting a tooth since she was 3 months old and we finally have one. I felt her gums this morning and had just told mom I didn't feel anything but her bottom gums felt different. Well I went to change her diaper around lunch and I seen something shinning. There it was her first pearly white. I tried to get a picture of the tooth but she wasn't having it plus it's pretty hard to see. This picture shows what she did all afternoon Tuesday. She was checking it out herself. If she wasn't sucking her bottom lip she was sticking her tongue out rubbing it across the tooth.

Natalie: 8 Months

At 8 months you:

• weigh somewhere between 17-18lbs I am guessing.
• wear size 3 diapers
• wear 6-9 month clothes
• said "dada" on July 14 while we were on our way to the beach
• sleep all night for the most part; teething has not been our friend at night some nights
• are a good sitter now and are working on crawling although you are more interested in pulling up
• love Kirby
• know how to melt mommy and daddy's heart with those big blue eyes
• absolutely love Mickey Mouse, when he comes on T.V. you get so excited and will stop what you are doing instantly even if we are in another room
• love to be outside

I adore the leg rolls

You love to play in the grass

We have had a great summer together and I am not looking forward to it ending and my girl going back to daycare full time. Things will be a lot different next summer with 2 little ones but we are excited.

Update on brother: He is growing right on track. He has a new name for now, it is not in stone and can still change again. :)

Carter Daniel will join our family this Fall and we are ready to meet him.

Grading began in May 2014. Daniel's brother Chris did the grading for us.

**Side note-I fell behind on the picture taking. I missed the footing and pouring of the concrete.

After we graded we were kind of at a stand still. They finally came and laid off the house and poured our footing. Then the concrete slab came and we did some more waiting.

Finally on Wednesday July 30 the framers showed up ready to work.

The following pictures were taken after just 3 days worth of work.
