Our Home

In 8 weeks our home *should* be ready. Last week they pushed our move in date by another 2 dates but said the new date is *firm*. I'll see it when I believe it, but they are putting in our cabinets and sink in this week. I'm so excited to see my new sink! One of my most favorite purchases this far (besides my wine fridge) is my new sink. It's what they call, a country sink. It's a large, single basin sink and I loved it from the moment I saw it. I can't wait to put it in action!
They painted our house last weekend, and I love the color that we finally agreed upon! We debated between a olive green color, a light gray and this one. It was a difficult decision but in the end, I think we made the right one. Here are a few pics of our new home!
Next up, we are picking out the cement for our driveway, patio, and our light fixtures. I feel so grown up. Ugh.


Baby Steps

A few weeks ago Fin took her first step. She was with my dad and she took a couple steps trying to get to him. I was a little bummed I missed it but was also so happy to hear she made the move. Since then, she's been very timid about walking. She can do it, but she still prefers to drop down and crawl.

When she does get brave, she's like a weeble wobble. She sticks her tongue out and licks her lower lip while she intensely tries to figure it out.

Her confidence has improved over the past week and she's taken close to 12 steps without falling. My favorite is when she pushes her baby's stroller sans baby across the room and then abandons it and tries to move toward us on her own. Here's a photo of her recent journey across the living room at our friend's house.
