This past week...

Now that we are in our new house, I wanted to share with you our disaster of hoarding that has taken place from the past 4 years.  Yes, my husband has a problem. I have been trying to have a homeade intervention for him but I guess I haven’t been very effective to him.  Haha.  Seriously, I really do not know where all of our stuff came from.  Moving is the only way for you to see how much stuff you actually have.  It took us 2 of the largest U-Haul truck loads to get everything here! Then a few of Sean's truck and my car of stuff! We thank everyone that was here to help us. It was a lot!

Moving Day: Our living room.

Hunter loved that the T.V. was on the floor.  This was such a "baby hazard" for me. I snapped a photo and quickly got him away from it. =)

Moving Day: Other side of living room.
Moving Day: Den. Marley was somewhere in here for the rest of the day.  I had to bribe him with the sound of food in his bowl to get him out.  Poor cat.

One tuckered out dog.  Millie was even exhausted from the move.  She hardly moved from her bed for 2 days after.  LOL.

As part of Sean's "intervention", we have decided to have a yard sale/give-a-way at our house in the upcoming weeks so that we can get rid of the stuff.  As of today, the kitchen, Hunter’s room, most of the clothes and bathrooms are all in order.  Everything else is still in a box or shoved some place for the time being until we can free up space to move it to where it goes.  Plus, its so hard to arrange stuff with a 1-year old! Hunter is all over the place and wants to be in everything that we are moving but at least it makes it fun for us but also time consuming.  Nap times is where the progression of unpacking has been made.  Thank goodness that we have a long holiday weekend because we have a lot to do before all of our guests come over for Hunter’s 1st Birthday party! My little guy is becoming a big boy and I’m so excited for him.  Like I said before, we will have a few friends come over along with Sean’s family.  We are planning to meet my Mom, brother and sister-in-law the weekend after in Myrtle Beach in celebration for his birthday.  Mimi (my mom) has asked me to only bring his bottles/sippy cups and his blanky’s.  She is planning to provide all of his necessities as well as his toys (can we say spoiled?).  Fine by us. It will make our traveling a lot lighter! We are excited to see everyone. 

Also, Hunter has been adjusting very well to his new day care.  The first day that he was there, I called them 3 times and each time they told me that he hasn't been crying, he just ate something, and has been playing with the other kids. They also told me that he was taking a few steps on his own! Other than him not taking his usual 2 naps like he does at home, he was pretty tough with getting him to relax and take one.  This didn't concern me because he did the same thing at his old daycare so I just told him that he is just very stimulated and doesn't want to miss anything.  I gave them a few tips on how to calm him down and he does take about an hour and half long nap now.  At least its something! He is right in between staying with the infants and moving on to the Toddler room depending on when he will be officially walking and they were telling me that when he moves to the Toddler room that he has to sleep on a mat! I was like, good luck with that one! He can't even take a nap in the crib that he has at daycare! This is going to be very interesting when it gets to that point.  I can see at the age of 15 months that I am going to have a Parent-Teacher meeting regarding Hunter and him not sleeping on a mat.  LOL.  Me and Sean just crack up about this one. Who knows, maybe Hunter will surprise us when that times comes.  Oh and Hunter is getting his year old molars in already! Yikes! Poor baby..he's had a few miserable nights this week.  Hopefully, his teeth will all come in at the same time.  =)

P.S. - Just kidding about Sean and the hoarding but yes, he does keep everything!
