6 months: week 4

New House:
We got the house (not sure if this was already stated or not) John is moving everything in...well everything we have in Charlotte at least. So this week i have been "blind designing", Riley finally has her own room but we aren't allowed to paint the walls so i am coming up with other idea in order to give her a proper Nursery...so far so good now i just need to see how big the walls are in order to finish the designing, and i need my paints to make it up to N.C.

Planning:
Apparently planning and organizing is the highlight of the week for me. I am trying to get an idea of what i am going to do for munchkins first birthday...yes yes i know it 5 months away but i am going to be busy the next couple months i just want to make sure that i have it well planned out. Wow do we have a busy 5 months ahead of us! September we will be moving back and i might be starting a job, and moving into our house (completely the process) October is baby Leah's birthday party, and Halloween; November is Thanksgiving (and Auntie Rye's B day!) December we have Christmas and the preparation for that (that will start at the beginning of December most likely...still not sure what this girl needs!) Then January is Birthday month for Riley! (and her Mimi and Jeff etc...)

So i am starting now, i am making her cake myself so picking flavors and figuring out all the other stuff about the cake (keeping secrets here) to make sure everything is going to work out for me... because if not then i need a back up plan come January. Plus i have to figure out what i am going to prepare for food (Figured out already) and decorations...Yeah everyone says that they don't remember there first birthday and that is fine..but i will remember it, and its important to me..its a big deal to me. So i am going to go all out (or that's the goal)...nothing to crazy..well nothing crazy at all but i will spend the extra time planning for her birthday. Why not...I'm sitting at home all day what else do i do during nap time (except clean and eat and shower/get dressed for the day and nap myself)


Milestone/Developments:

I don't think Riley has any new tricks this week... except getting fast and better at what she already does.

She likes to scoot..get up as if she is going to crawl..decide to sit..then pull herself up on what ever she can...do some one handed standing...no handed standing..fall on her butt and start all over again.

Its exciting for me to watch her do all of this on her own. She is becoming so independent!

Her Hugs and Kisses are getting better and more on cue. You ask for a kiss and she grabs your neck pulling herself forward and slobbers allll over your face. The sweetest slimiest thing <3


Adventures for the week:

We have taken it easy this week, Played with baby Leah for a little (who is going to have a baby brother in 8 months!..totally guess on the boy thing but we will see!) That's about it for this week, we have just been trying to get back on a normal schedule from the exciting weeks we have had in the past.


We can't wait to be home with Daddy in our new house!
