Miss T, Nearly 16 months...

I keep thinking about how I'm totally lame for not posting more often... I decided I just need to post when I'm thinking about it.  So I've been thinking how I need to document all the silly fun things that T does right now because you never know when that will end... like how she used to cover her ears every time you asked her what the giraffe says.  It says "me so tall" at our house.

She's growing up so fast it's hard to get a handle on it.  Seems like every day she has a new word or two and she does something funny every day!  Today she was feeding her baby doll at the little Mexican restaurant that we like to walk to from our house.  She was not interested in eating.  There were pumpkins outside the grocery store right next door.  T had a riot of a time running around the piles of pumpkins and beating them like drums.  I think she love the ones she could pick up best; she went back to them a few times.

Tonight for dinner we had leftover chili, which oddly enough she LOVED!  She loved it so much it was all over her.  Bath time was mandatory tonight.  Usually when she gets to take a bath it takes me forever to get her out but tonight she asked to get out.  I think it had something to do with me playing with the shower curtain just to see what her reaction would be; not a fan as it turns out.  Our little miss loves to be the only one/thing making the big noises, otherwise she gets sad.

For documentation's sake here are the words she's said so far:
Momma, Daddy, blanket, no, night night, bath, water, brush, wash, shoes, socks, slide, blocks, apple, lion, moo, dog, nummy, please, thank you, more, cracker, go, walk, ball, fish, bowl, pancake, up, out.

(she knows monkey sounds, dog sounds, & elephant sounds... she also imitates our cadence when we count for her.)

As it is football season we'll be working on ducks, cougars, touchdown... and things like this.

Marching on...

March 2014:  Our family has been been waiting for so long to hear what's next for us vocationally and geographically speaking.  A couple weeks ago we finally heard! We're staying where we are and we've been shopping for a house.  Last week we put an offer in on a house, it was accepted, and now we're just waiting for the details to get settled.

In other news... T got her 3rd tooth today; top left.  

We have so much to look forward to! Plus there's going to be a whole lot of before and after pictures happening...!
Kurt's office before... 2 flavors of peptol ... not condusive for work.

T's room before... if only she were a tiny Sea Hawks fan.

Our new kitchen.. needs some love but it's a great size for us!

The hideous half bath.. that's not wood on the walls, it's wall paper.

The Laundry Room... hadn't been painted in nearly 20 years... it needed lots of love.

Our bedroom mid paint job... that was one coat! Isn't that awesome!? We're painting it the white looking color, which is actually a very light grey.  I love the new color.  That hunter green is so very 90's and while I still love the music the styles can stay in the past for me and that would be just fine!

Floors before plus the built in and fireplace in the family room... just off the kichen.
