Crazy month

This has been one crazy crazy month! Dan has been interviewing with San Diego Companies in hopes of a career switch and we were very very hopeful that he would get a job. However, the job didn't come through due to budget issues at the company and we were really bummed. The same day he got the call saying "we can't hire you right now", our landlord gave us a 30-day notice! YikES! We were stressed to say the least. But after weeks of trusting the Lord and talking to our NUTTY landlady. We get to stay put. (And by nutty I mean super crazy-she has a cat psychic come over to see why her cat is limping :) Well we lucked out because she is a MAJOR believer in Karma and thought she would have bad karma if she kicked us out with nowhere to go. Needless to say, Dan and I grew a ton in this time. Learned to trust in the Lord and that life is really out of our control. Thanks for all of you who prayed for us. The Lord is faithful. On another note, I was playing around on photoshop again... why is it so confusing... And came up with a new blog design. The other one really confused me. Ily is getting so so big. It's sad. Seriously time flies when your having fun. I love just hangin with my little buddy all day, never ever gets old.

Dan LOVES to distract ily while I nurse.

Cupcakes and the park with Dad

One of my Valentines.

Morning Snuggles

Hanging with her cousin Madelyn- Liz and Madelyn came out for a visit and we had so much fun!

She loves these baby Num Nums. They taste like cardboard. I think it's because she feels like a big girl.

I was cracking up.. she used dan as a stool to get to the remote on the coffee table.

This kid has so much hair

and again with the hair.

Our baby is 9 months old! Can't believe it. I am hoping to be posting more often but who knows if I will keep with it.

been a while...

So it's been some time since I blogged. I have a little free time while Ily naps :) 

Crazy to think the last time I checked this was Halloween! Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years have passed and time feels like it's slipping through my fingers. We made it out to Texas to see family and it was so so fun... ily did great on the plane and it was so awesome to have dan with me this time to help and take turns. 

Ily has gotten so big... crawling, eating solids, and already pulling herself up on things she shouldn't. 

Here is more of a picture update...

Growing

Seriously I need time to stop it. Its going way too fast and I want to just press the pause button. My baby girl is growing up so so fast and it kills me/ makes me so excited for what is to come. It's very bittersweet but mostly just sweet. She is seriously the most chill lil babe ever, well minus her recent adventure of getting teeth.  4 months seems early to teethe... no?

Here a few pics of her most recent life experiences. Trip to Chicago with mom, dedication, Rolling over, and almost sitting up on her own!

LOVED that our church had everyone come up and lay hands on all the families. The perks of a small church. 

p.s. finally updated my blog... seriously needed help.. hope it's a lil more user friendly, for my 2 users ha. Hopefully it will motivate me to post a bit more too.
