December 5, 2011 - New House, Animal Sounds, Mommy

The house is coming along. It's so hard to get anything done when you have a little one that wants to get into everything! I basically have to pick a room and either clean or move things around - then naptime isn't long enough! The sheet rock guy came today to do the kitchen - it looks so much better already! I can't wait to get the place painted and moved in, it is starting to feel like our own home.

In the kitchen we knocked down that interior roof looking stuff and took down the beam, primed the cabinets (they look decent in the pic but were disgusting!) and added two lights. The cabinets are going to be an off white with a light glaze on the doors and on the wish list is a new counter top and stainless steal appliances. We will eventually redo the whole kitchen but this will hold us over until then. I'm just excited that we have counter space now!


Thank you sooo much Dave & Kelly for coming last weekend - it was such a help! Bryanna had 2 whole days with Grammy Kelly all to herself! Scott learned so much from Dave and we got so much done that we would have never done if they didn't come.

Bryanna is getting to be such a big girl. She is so smart - to keep her busy while I was cleaning, I told her that her baby pooped and needed to be wiped, so she grabbed a rag and started wiping her baby - saying her baby was dirty...LOL, she really knows how to point out all the dirty things.

She started calling me Mommy yesterday. She was saying mama and then meme right after and then finally got it. I'm so proud of her but it just means she is growing up and I miss mama already.

One thing I forgot to write in the last few posts was that Bryanna is really good at her animal sounds. You ask her what sounds does this animal make and she makes the sound. She can do a cat (for some reason she says meow really softly and laughs after she says it), monkey (ah ah), lion (rar), and elephant (puts her hand to her mouth for the trunk)
