Lazy day

Im enjoying a majorly lazy day today. If only my lil guy slowed down at all.

Hes getting over a cold that just wont go away, last week it was a runny nose and fever, this week its coughing and wheezing and diahrrea. Wish us luck that he beats it soon.


In other news I think Dexter is going to be a Lion for Halloween. I made the costume and it sorta still fits, Im afraid that he is too big for it now though, so maybe if money allows Ill go buy one.


I really want to make one of these soon.....its sooooooo awesome!

It slips over a standard card table. Bingo we have an ugly card table in the storage that is begging to have a Playhouse made to cover it up! Cannooot wait to make one.



Oh and I almost forgot.....Im in the process of losing weight so we can TTC again soon! YAY!!!!

Poodiddle

So its getting cold!
My mom, me and the babies tried to go to Fiddlesticks Farm this weekend but failed. It was just too rainy and cooollld. So next weekend hopefully. Ive never been and cannot wait to go!

Man Dex is learning so much every day. Im in utter awe at this kid. Im just a proud momma so forgive me raving about him:) He is 8-1/2 months old and starting this past weekend he is REALLY crawling. Belly off the floor and all. I thought for sure he would army crawl to his graduation. He is also babbling non stop. Saying mama, and dada. But to both of us lol. We are also attempting to pull up on everything. 75% failure rate ending in bumps, and bruises. He is getting better though. I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. Wowzers.

The baby fever is back hard core, probably to my husbands dismay. But we have agreed to wait until next year some time to start TTC. It will probably take us several months too. Im also completely not TTC until I can lose just a little weight. Maybe 20 or 30lbs. I really am scared of getting Pre Eclampsia while having a toddler too. I cannot do that to him, or risk the new baby. So its a waiting game. And I have great motivation to lose some more weight. Im at about 193-195 fluctuating. Soooo ideally around 165-175. Wish me luck!

House stuff is good, Im loving the fireplace. We have been using it nightly on these cool west texas nights. Mostly because we have old wall heaters still that neeed to be updated and we are scared of them lol. But it does good at warming the place. And it smells soooo festive.

In other news, We are moved in and unpacked, but our work has just begun. This need to be updated and worked on it seems. Soooo no housewarming party til the paint is on the walls and our bathroom doesnt look like a trainwreck. After this weekend it should look pretty nice.

I painted the front living room a pretty gray that IM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH!

Oh yeah Dexter is pulling up onto all kinds of stuff. Thats big news around here. He still crawls all crazy. Not quite a real crawl but it gets the kid where he wants to go. He will probably skip the real crawling for now. Im soo excited to see him learn new stuff everyday. And another part of me is sooo sad to see him become less and less a baby baby. Make me want to start trying for #2....we will see
