Sunday-itis

As my spring break winds to a close I am suffering from a big case of the Sunday blues. The kiddos and I were sick this week so I didn't get anything I had planned accomplished. I guess on the plus side I did get to snuggle with my monkeys a lot this week. I did get out yesterday and today to get some stuff done so I suppose the week isn't a total wash.

My in-laws are officially living in their new house!! That makes me very excited but unfortunatley I'm not sure what their time line is for clearing out the old house so we can get started on our renovations. I'm hoping that they will stick to their April 1 deadline but with the way this project has gone I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully soon I'll be posting pics of our very own renovation project.

On the move

Grace is officially on the move. A couple days ago I posted that she was almost crawling . . . we are now past the almost stage. Yesterday while we were helping Aunt Kayla move she had a couple scoots around and this morning BOOM she's crawling all over the living room. She is of course her mother's daughter so when she gets tired she cries and whines until someone comes to rescue her - mama's lazy girl hehe. The only thing I'm not ready for is her weight loss ~ I remember that once Noah was mobile he lost all of his baby chubbies. I love those little fat thighs and cheeks (both sets) so much ~ I'm sure I'll shed a tear for her chubbies just like I did for Noah's.

A new look

One of my friends has the cutest background . . . I looked at a couple of blogs she follows and they all have cute backgrounds too so I'm feeling very left out and uncute. I went to thecutestblogontheblock.com (like all their blogs said) and TA-DA my very own cute blog. I even played around with my fonts and colors - I feel very techy right now!! I hope you like the new look!

Look out world . . .

Grace Marie, princess of the world, is almost mobile! She is not quite full on crawling but she's scooting and crab crawling all over the place. Tonight she was trying to go from laying down to standing up and it was hilarious to watch. She was on all fours and up on her tippy toes and was looking around like crap, now what?!? She is also starting to use her first baby sign - all done. Once again, I'm not pushing it much but we do use more of them b/c of Noah and she's picking them up it seems. It's time for Momma and Graciepie to go night night so . . . night night for now!

Slacker

So it was recently brought to my attention that I'm totally slacking on my blog. I always think about doing it but then something comes up and I don't get around to it. Not much new is happening in TaylorWorld ~ I've been sick for most of February with mono and now strep. Fun for me! Noah is loving preschool and making steady progress in his speech. Miss Grace is the princess of the world ~ she is very happy and healthy. She's sporting 6 hard won teeth and is over the 97th percentile in all the growth charts. Jon is working all the time as always ~ he's on mandatory overtime plus half days on Saturdays.

My in laws are planning to finish moving intot their new house over spring break which means that we can start renovating SOON!!! I would love to be in the new house before school starts next year but I'm not holding my breath.

I need some of my tech savvy friends to help me out with a more efficent way to add photos so I can get them on more often. HINT HINT :)
