The move was the worst I have ever done. I found our house, and we put in out offer and waited for the bank to jerk around before accepting it. We then had to wait to close due the a title company that was slower than molasses in January!! We had 3 weeks to pack, get the work done to this house and move. With Chris not having a lot of time off during that, and mainly me packing while taking care of Jonathan and working on the house with the help of family when they could, it was a scramble.
Jade and Jonathan adjusted right away, Jonathan taking it in stride and Jade loving the fact that she can sit on the couch and attack anyone that comes up the stairs-it is pretty funny to watch her when she is in a mood. Ruby however, had a hard time adjusting. We had to rip out all of the carpet to get to decent shaped hardwood floors underneath (plus all the carpet had animal stains on it) and she was having a hard time with the stairs. We bought non slip stair treads and she seems to managing much better.
The house is set up with 3 bedrooms, the main bath, kitchen, dining room and living room on the upper floor, and 2 bedrooms, game room, 2nd bath and laundry/utility room on the lower level. So much better than the 2 story with basement we had before. There is a pool, but we need to have the lines tested to see if we can use it this year and next year we will need to re-plaster and re-tile it since it is a gunite pool, not a liner pool. I think in the long run, this will work much better for our needs. Plus, there isn't much yard for Chris to mow since all of the back is cement for the pool and the rest is landscaped with garden beds mainly with groundcover and rocks.
So on to the Bubbie update. It has been a good month for him and he has his 9 mos Dr. appt. in about 1 1/2 weeks. He is now sitting up without support!! That was huge for us as it is easier for him to play and entertain himself and easier for him to get a bath.
We have been spending time outside and he loves it!! He loves the sound of the leaves moving on the trees, the new texture of grass, the cars that go by-it seems that everything catches his attention. He has also discovered the enjoyment sticking out your tongue can bring;)
He has been making this face lately, sorry I don't have a pic, that looks like he is really PO'd and wants to give you a piece of his mind. It is hilarious. He has a couple of funny new behaviors as well. When he is upset, he likes to breath rapidly through his mouth, almost like he is a woman giving birth and breathing through a contraction-I crack up EVERY time and have to turn away to laugh since that is his response when he doesn't like hearing NO to something he is doing. His other thing he does just for grins and giggles is squinching up his face and breaths heavily though his nose. When we do it back to him he laughs like it is the most hilarious thing we have ever done.
He isn't crawling yet, but he seems to get around well with the scoot and roll method he has. I am not sure if he will really crawl or just go straight to walking. OOO-I almost forgot-he has his 2 top front teeth, so that makes 4 total. He got them within a day of each other and it looks like the teeth that border them are not far behind. I swear I think my mom is right and he will have enough teeth by his first Bday to have a steak dinner!!LOL
He is just growing up too fast. I can't believe he is almost 9 mos old!! When I see pics of him right after he was born, I can hardly believe it is the same boy!!
