New house update April

The house is coming together, we have had some issues along the way.  We won't be getting stairs from the kitchen to the basement.  In the end I'm glad because I can have my laundry in the kitchen instead of the basement.  I feel like I'll get things done more easily if they're closer together.









The master bath, the one I got to design.

Adrian's room, a nice light green

I'm letting Matt decorate this room for now, it'll be an office/craft room for a bit.  When we have another baby it will be in our room first and then maybe it can share with Adrian.  Or I'll just kick Matt out of this room.

 The kitchen is a work in progress and we still have to paint the outside of the house, which might not happen until next year.  Our goal is to have it done by the end of May.



Those crazy days of toddlerhood

Now that Adrian is acting more like a toddler (crazy) I decided to blog again to keep myself sane, and make sure I have a record of behavior I can use for guilt trips later on.  I'm not even going to try to catch up with the past few months.  I'll do a post about the house though.






There are some random recent pictures for you.  

     Matt made mashed potatoes from a box yesterday and put some garlic in them but they were too strong for me and Matt didn't taste anything.  Adrian was too busy complaining about his meat being cut up to even think about touching his potatoes. Instead he decided to force feed them to Matt. He tried to get Matt to open up, and then he licked the potatoes and said "MMM" so Matt would see how good they are.  Alas, it didn't work.

     Today he decided to freak the hell out because his meat was cut up again.  He wants to eat from our plates instead.  I told him no one likes having food taken from their plate, especially one day when you go on a date.  That's a deal breaker.

     Other than the occasional fit things are going pretty well.  He isn't talking a whole lot, he prefers to grunt and point and use one or two word sentences at the moment.  His doctor isn't worried so far so I'm just trying to ask him questions and get him to talk.  He has been saying more words lately.  Mostly I think he is just stubborn, like me, and will speak when he damn well pleases.

     He is still very loving and likes to cuddle and give kisses.  He's friendly and likes to say hi and bye to strangers.  He keeps licking everything, I don't know where that came from. He likes being physically active all day, I try to sit and do educational activities with him but he would rather wrestle or go outside and pick up sticks.  He loves technology, he figured out how to use phones and tablets really fast. He's a clown, he likes to make people laugh.  He loves water, animals, spongebob, and Frozen. 

     I'm going to sign him up to start preschool in September.  I can't believe he's closer to 3 than 2.  My baby is growing up!
