Home Improvements :)

Today was another loungey (sp?) and uneventful day....until Chris got home. I started doing some major "fall" cleaning a little bit before he got home while Emma was taking her afternoon nap. Her toys, exersaucer, swing, and walker have more or less invaded our living room and I can't stand clutter so that's the first thing I started working on. As I'm putting everything in her room, I realize that we haven't even completed her nursery yet and so I called Chris and told him that's what we're working on tonight. We just had a few more things to hang up and organize. Right now I have 2 FULL totes and a gift bag full of clothes that need to go to consignment but I can never remember to take them and they are just taking up a HUGE amount of space on her floor. After that we worked on hanging up the kids foot print certificates that they get after they are born. We bought certificate frames that we can put a 5x7 picture in along side the certificate. They turned out really cute and it works out that we have 2 from Baptist and 2 from St. Vincent. I will post some pictures of both projects below.

Emma has become a lot more mobile in her walker and the one thing she loooooves to do is pull up next to something and pull stuff off. Today as I was cleaning our office space I had laid some trash on a chair and the first thing she did was pull it all off. I pick it up and set it back up there and move her walker away from the area thinking she will find something else to "get in to"...no such luck! She comes back over to the chair and does it all over again...and then turns around and smiles at me as to say "ha ha mom...you can't stop me!". It was very cute so of course, I had to get some pictures of that too. She also really really loves being outside. Today, we walked out to the mailbox for a second and before I even got back to the door she started crying. Pitiful, huh? The first thing Chris does when he gets home today is take her for a ride on the lawnmower because she looooves that and just talks the whole time!

Playing with the exersaucer instead of in it, ha

We are at a natural crawling position but then she gives up and army crawls.

Pulling her bow off...again!

Sitting, yay!!!

The start of the mess..

Mommy has picked it all up and she's on her way back over to destroy...

"What mom? Can I not do this?" haha

Playing in her bed while we worked on her room.

Her wall pillows that came with her bedding.

We are saving space in the middle for a recent family photo :)

Tomorrow will be a little bit busier because Chris is off and my mom and 2 of my sisters are coming up. We will probably do what we usually do and go shopping and out to lunch...but it's always a good time :)
