7 months!

Baby girl is 7 months today! Holy buckets. She is a busy little bee. Crawling FAST, pulling up on EVERYTHING, and rapidly growing up. :(

August so far

Happy half birthday to my baby girl!! My big 6 mo old weighs in at 16 lbs and eats like a champ-except green veggies! Peaches are still her go to food, she can devour a whole peach in one sitting...for desert! She is getting very fast at crawling, LOVES to stand and pull up on furniture, legs, toys, cabinets, and yes-her crib! She has even started to begin to cruise a little. Which is how we also got our first ouchie-a bruise on her forehead! My sweet sweet girl has really figured out how to manipulate mom, dad, nana, and papa. She likes to be held and rocked to sleep and definitely let's us know otherwise. My beautiful little love is growing up so fast!

August also brought us back to 'The good life'. John was offered a management position with a new Sams club in Lincoln, NE which means we will all be in the same state for good! However, since we rented out our house for a year we have been taken in by my gracious parents. Living in my parents basement with my husband, infant, and two dogs wasn't exactly in my 5 year plan but I'm very happy to no longer be commuting!

July update

Happy 4th of July! Jaymeson is now 5 months old, where did the time go? She sits up all on her own and toward the end of the month she starts to crawl and pull up on toys/furniture! We now have a mobile child. She is getting more and more curious about the world around her. She started eating big girl food and loves it! Her fav foods right now are butternut squash, avocado, and PEACHES! This girl is a peach fiend!

We got to see cousins from Virginia this month and it was so much fun to see all the kids together. I wish we all lived closer.

June update

Now a full month into the commuting lifestyle and I officially feel like I live in my car! Living out of a suitcase is ridiculous. Living out of a suitcase with an infant-downright absurd!

Jaymeson has no quickly progressed to a tripod unassisted sit! By the end of the month she is sitting up unassisted! I honestly can't believe it! She looooves to play with her musical table toy and has become much more interactive. She also is a big fan of bath time.

Outside of work, driving and Jaymes, we officially don't have a life. However I do feel like John gets the nice end of the deal. He gets to be a bachelor halftime since J and I commute for sometimes weeks on end!

May update

So here is what went on in may-or at least what I can remember! :)

In late April, I went back to work at The Nebraska Medical Center and John took a management position with Sams Club in Ames, IA. I didn't want to give up my great job for a position that would probably bring us back to Omaha in a year, so I had the brilliant idea that Jay and I would commute back and forth for my work. Ha. Easier said than done! So, we picked up and moved to Iowa and rented out our house in Omaha.

Meanwhile, we had an ever changing babe! Jaymes learned how to roll over and both mom and dad were present for it! She very quickly began to roll over all the time! Little did we know this would quickly progress to bigger things!

Major Updates

So...I've been TERRIBLE at updating our blog! So here is where we are at now.

Jaymes is almost 7 mos! She is sitting, crawling, pulling up on everything and starting to cruise! She is a crazy woman! She was such a good sleeper until recently :( but we are hoping that will change soon!

John now works in Lincoln at the new Sams Club after a brief stint in Ames, IA at Sams. Long story short-we had to rent out our house in Omaha when we moved to Ames so we are now moved back to Nebraska and living in my parents basement!

Life has brought a lot of challenges and turns recently but I hope we are soon getting back on track. Stay tuned for more updates on the 3 months lost due to our crazy life! I also vow to keep an updated blog from here on out!!
