This has been the longest road ever...

We have finally found out that we can officially close on our house tomorrow. We were originally supposed to close last Friday or wait maybe that was 3 Friday's ago whichever we are FINALLY going to be able to close.  OMG. Our file was stuck in Underwriting and I'm sure lost somehow.  I have to say that this has been pretty stressful taking care of all the surprises that occured along the way but I am proud to say that we overcame the challenges and will soon be homeowners to a new home.  This week we are going to be between two houses.  Sean will be working very hard this week with getting the floors done, getting the rooms painted, moving boxes and basically trying to juggle a schedule with the people helping to finish the house up.  (BTW, thanks, Sean - you're doing such a great job =)) 

In the meantime, I've been switching over all our bills to the new address (we forwarded our mail also), getting the internet, cable, and alarm system set up.  Hunter hasn't officially started his new day care yet which his current day care is super excited to keep him for another week until we get everything officially finished. He will start next Monday ....yes I am super nervous! There is no way that I want to try and have Hunter at our new house this week because there will be paint fumes and wood flooring mess everywhere so we've been hanging at our pretty much emptied current/old house.  No T.V. just Gigglebellies, which I am so over right now so I've been working on Sesame Street or some Disney Movies for Hunter to keep him a little entertained while I pack up the last bit of the house.  So far, they don't even come close as entertainment as the Gigglebellies.  Hunter doesn't even giggle or point at anything else, other than the Gigglebellies.  Hunter is very close to walking but I know one day he will just start doing it.  Right now, he stands by himself (unassisted) and will take two steps and will then fall.  Sean says that he Hunter is waiting to walk when we are in the new house and that he is saving his steps for then.  Haha. We'll see.  He does a lot of mimicking of noises.  For instance, on the way to day care in the mornings while I will start making sounds like "Baaaaaa-boooo-gooo" and he will then come back and say the same sounds.  He's so cute.  Sometimes he will throw and extra sound in there and then I will say it back to him.  Also, Hunter's mealtimes have become quite entertaining lately. Hunter is wanting to use him own spoon and feed himself lately and will get mad if he doesn't have his own spoon to try and gather up food on his highchair chair. He thinks that just by letting the spoon touch food is the same with having it on there.  So, in the meantime while he is trying to feed himself I am trying to find a clearance for me to shove a bite in his mouth without him noticing that he is letting me feed him.  If not, he gets mad.  Haha. Then, if he notices that I am feeding him, he will throw his spoon and then look for his sippy cup and cry - which I do not even allow in his view at all but its the only thing to get him to forget what he is mad about.  Then the process starts back over.  Sometimes its not as bad as other times. Sometimes, I just feed him the whole time while he makes a mess on his tray.  I don't let Hunter have any juice of any sort at all.  Those juices have so much sugar in them that even if I gave Hunter a drop of it, I'm afraid to see what will happen and how much more energy he will have! It's enought to keep up with him now. So right now, unless they make a sugarless juice, none for him.  He does love water though. 

Don't even think about taking my sippy cup or spoon, Mommy!

I learned how to pucker up and give kisses this week! Muah!!!

I can't believe Hunter will be 1 year old next month.  I'm ready to start planning the little bit that I want to do. Nothing huge but I do want it to be special for him for the 4-5ish hours that he can tolerate everything. 


Cheese!
