9 Month Check Up

Josh just hit 9 months 12 days ago...Where in the world has the time gone?

Here are his stats at his appointment

Weight: 19lbs 12.3oz

Height: 29.5 Inches

Head: 18.75 Inches (our child has a big head and he can thank me and his grandfather for that)

He has started crawling and is a terror around the house...I cant' keep up with him and he LOVES it! He crawls away from me and I bring him back to me and he goes away all over again...He loves that game (me not so much ☻)

His next appointment isn't until May 21st when he will be a year old (holy crap we almost have a one year old) I think the doctor had great enjoyment in telling me that our baby was almost a year old!!!

Here he is getting ready to go and do some errands with us...

1 Year

Rick and I have been in the house now for just over a year (Thanks Dean for all your hard work) and have love every minute of it!

We haven't done a ton to it since I was 7 months pregnant when we moved in. The only room we have updated is Josh's room. That was a fun project for us...We made a horrible mess but at least we can say we painted his room :)

The things we still want to do to the house (not all in the next year but soon)

• Deck - I would like the deck to be level with the current landing with the porch on the driveway side of the house. We would like the deck to extend the entire length of the back of the house (yes I know its long but we would like a hot tub one day)


• Hardwood floors - We plan on putting hardwood (or laminate) in the living room, kitchen, and possibly the bedrooms (I am not sold on the bedrooms yet - I like getting out of bed and stepping on "warm" carpet not "cold" flooring). This project will most likely take place after babies learn to walk (carpet adds some cushion for their tush)


• Paint master bedroom - I am sure we will get in a heated discussion about color but I need something other than UGLY white!


• Paint the living room - Again the walls in there are just UGLY white...I haven't quite got it yet, the lady we bought the house from painted the kitchen the ugliest shade of orange just before she put the house on the market. However, she didn't touch any of the other walls...Just left them the boring/dirty ugly white!


• Tile the bathroom floor...I don't mean with the peal off the back stick paper tiles either...I mean with real honest to goodness tiles (again Rick might have something to say about that)


• Paint the spare room/Playroom to give it a fun kid feel (it will be Josh's room when we decide to have baby #2)


• Put a Man room in the basement - Rick and his buddies need a space they can go and play video games and do manly things so that I can have the TV when they are here.

I think that is the majority of the list! Lots to do but all fun things to look forward too!! Here's hoping for a great 2nd year in the house!!
