Nearly 10 Months!

Hello everyone! Its been forever so I thought I'd better update this little blog!

Of course first on the list is baby girl. Who is nearly 10 months now! She is growing so fast. She is crawling a little bit now, and pulling up to her knees on the side of her pack and play and just this morning she did it on her crib for the first time. A bit alarming for me when I turned her monitor screen back on and saw that! Lol, time to lower the matress! She can also sit up from her knees and get on her bottom, and vice versa. She is clapping and waving now, and also does this funny clucking thing with her tounge. She also started laying her head over on your shoulder when someone talks to her like she is being shy, lol. Its pretty cute.

Her hemangioma looks really good. Getting lighter and lighter. Her doctor thought it was basically gone. So we go back in another month and she will probably be tapering her meds till she is off it. Then we will watch it to see if it comes back.

Shes eating well, loves anything we give her off our plates. Fries, bread, refried beans, rib bones, oatmeal, eggs, etc. STILL not drinking out of anything though. Sigh. I tried another sippe last night with no luck. But she will drink out of OUR cups all day long! I swear this child is too smart for her own good!

We went to the beach with her for the first time this past weekend. SO FUN! Although she wasn't impressed. She was really excited and happy right up until the wave got her feet and then she was done, lol! She didnt like the sand either! So we are hoping next year she will like it a lot more, :).

Anyway, not much else going on. Just going on with life. We did get rid of our F150 and bought an Explorer. Which I am LOVING! It has so much room and also a 3rd row so we can seat 7 in there. And we got a smokin deal on it. Its also black! :D Here it is:

We have been trying to get the house fixed a bit. Put some new blinds on the windows, planted some flowers, etc. I've got SO MANY other things I'd like to do but NO MONEY. Gas and food prices are just rediculous right now. We are glad to be out from under that 14,000 truck though. We have 8 to pay off now, between my explorer and Lees truck. That is our only debt save our house. So we get that done we can start on 3-6 months of living expenses (in case a emergency happens, Lee loses his job, etc.). Then we are supposed to put 15% of our income into Roth IRAs and such. Then we pay off the house earlier and save for Chlos college. YEAH! I can't wait. So we have to get serious about losing that 8k and building up our money for expenses. So if your wondering this is following Dave Ramseys plan. Check him out here! Dave Ramsey

Well Chloe is awake! She sleeps in the carseat for a few hours almost every morning, lol. Its so loud in here its almost impossible to get her to stay asleep more then 30 minutes. So our plan for the rest of the day is letting her play for awhile, shes in her pack and play now playing with my sunglasses, lol, and her car driving toy. Oh, now she has a spoon, haha. Then we will go get lunch at 12, come back and let her play some more. Then about 1 or so I will feed her. Then from there on its just swapping her from one thing to the other to keep her happy until time to go home! She might take another nap in there somewhere. Usually around 2 or 3. The fun part is getting her to TAKE it. She wont just lay down and go to sleep, lol. And now that she can sit up, she wont stay where you put her either! Speaking of, there she goes trying to go over the side of the pack and play, lol. Shes up on her knees holding on the edge.

Well thats about all thats going on. Here are a few pics of my girl!
