Although moving is never easy, our new house is fantastic. It's a one level, ranch style house in the Garden Home/Ash Creek neighborhood near where we used to live. We're still fairly close to Henry's school, which was the key factor I was hoping to find in a new place. It's slightly smaller than the old house, but a much better floor plan so, other than the kitchen being tiny, I barely notice the loss of space. Henry's room in particular is awesome - a whole wall of built in shelves...he can have his very own library. So far he's slept every night in there (by himself!) on the top bunk of his bunkbeds. I think it helps that he is absolutely exhausted from school each night...poor guy. The yard is any kid's dream - huge with lots of fun play areas including trees that can be climbed, a sandbox and a "playhouse" (which I think was actually intended as a greenhouse). The decor needs some work...but we'll manage.
Nora is two weeks away from turning one! Amazing! She is definitely starting to talk although not super clearly. She says mama, dada, cat, dog, woof, baby, ball and I think also Gigi and hi (but I can't say for certain those last two). She loves dolls, stuffed animals, dogs, cats, balls and anything that Henry is playing with. She absolutely ADORES Henry - he makes her laugh and laugh and laugh. She's trying to walk, but not quite ready to do so yet...she's such a speed demon when it comes to crawling though. And a little terror around the house - pulling things off shelves, tables, opening cupboards, unrolling toilet paper, etc., etc. Now that we've moved and she'll be turning a year old, I am hoping to transition her to a crib (fingers crossed). To maintain a good nursing relationship, it isn't recommended to nightwean prior to a year old but once she hits that milestone I'd like to see how it goes with her sleeping in a crib. So we shall see...
More next week (with pictures, hopefully!).
