Week 21

Two weeks down at our new home. Kevin and I are still debating what fond name we should endow upon our humble dwellings, he votes for "The Shack" and I think "The Cottage" is much more embodying of the abundant love and general awesomeness that lives inside :P

On Monday we celebrated Aria's very first Halloween. She was dressed as a little lamb and everybody couldn't get enough of her. Unfortunately Daddy had to work til 10pm but we were able to hang out with some friends at "The Big House". Holly and Dwight came by, as well as Jena and Linsday. Jena was holding Aria and she started to do her slow blink blink and next thing we knew she was hanging like a floppy doll in her arms fast asleep. So cute!

(Xander is being horrible right now, walking on the keyboard, rubbing his hear under my chin, omg! I am going to kill him!)

Auntie Gabby started her new job this Wednesday. It's been rather lonely without her. Basically since Aria was born we've hung out almost everyday. Just so happens that we both weren't working for 5 months. (Oo myy goood, now he is sitting on my butt and clawing at it like a scratching post! I need to find a better place to write than laying on my bed, b/c aparantly it means free for all cat attention time.) I'm happy that her job is working out though. She has her own work laptop and a cubicle. I'm going to print out a picture of Aria for her to put on her desk. Maybe her adorable lamb one :)

Yesterday we went with Kevin's mom Carol to the DMV to officially switch over the name of the Camry to Kevin. Yay it's the first car either of us has ever had in our own name! The DMV always takes forever and then when we got out the car battery had died! My dad came and jumped it for us. There was a bit of confusion because Kevin has insurance that makes it free for a tow truck to come jump the care but my dad insisted on coming anyways, stating who knows how long the AAA people will take to get there. It all worked out in the end. 

Oh and also car related, I took Kevin's Camry all by myself and got a smog check. Then I paid online for the registration. I feel so accomplished.

Well, I'm about to have to go because Stinky is crying in her swing. One knew thing she started doing last week is pulling herself forward when she sits in her bouncer chair. I think she's getting close to sitting up! And another is she can finally hold on to toys with her little hands, she like plastic measuring spoons the best!

Aria now weighs 18 pounds! I can't believe she has grown so much! It's amazing to watch! I finally got the courage to weigh her since I've been using MyFitnessPal to try and get these pesky last pounds off myself. I'm only 10 pounds away from pre-baby days :)

Until next time. xo Rosie
