Family Update

We had a very productive yesterday. Jacob and I had physicals in the morning. I have been dreading this because I hate (HATE) giving blood. But the nurse actually did a great job and the only good thing was that her scale said I weighed 3 lbs less than the one at Jacob's clinic. I was liking that:) Then Daddy and Jerry got their haircut. I tagged along this time and I was so proud of Jerry, he sat there like such a big boy. I know that he will always be my baby but sadly he really isn't a baby anymore :(

We did some more running around and had to get a kid proof lock for our outlet that we have our computer plugged into. It is the only thing plugged in that he can get to and has unplugged it about 4 times while it has been on. I hate the thought of him playing with outlets. So that problem got fixed today.

Then he took a really good nap in the morning. He went down with no problem and slept about 1.5 hours. He woke up happy and we all played outside (I washed all of the windows and Jacob mowed the lawn and we both chased after Jerry). When it was time for Jerry's afternoon nap Jacob put him down so I could finish a few things and it wasn't long and we heard a door open and then out runs Jerry into the living room like no big deal, here I am. Jacob and I look at each other and I'm thinking oh no, I am in so much trouble. Jacob put him back in his bed and watched him crawl right back out of it in nothing flat. So to resolve this issue we took out all of the bumpers and turned the bed around so the lower end is toward the wall which did seem to stop him from crawling out...for now.

I just can't believe how fast he has grown up. I watch him with amazement everyday. I can't believe he is my little boy. What a miracle! He is the center of our world and the best thing that has ever happened to us. I love being a mom.

I haven't been working on any of my projects latelty but I have added about 10 more things to my "want to make/do list". I just have so many ideas and not enough me time to work on them. My latest...I purchased new (to me) furniture from Craigslist - a dresser & mirror, night stand and chest of drawers. I have been searching for a few pieces for our house and was so excited when I found what I wanted. I will get pictures of it soon. Yay, I am so excited. The furniture is old and needs some loving, which for now I plan on only re-finishing the dresser. I am going to use the dresser as a buffet in my dining room and I have a different mirror that I framed a long time ago that will go above it. The rest of the furniture will go in the basement in what I call my craft room and I will use it until we have our next baby then it will go in their room.
