Haircut

In order to save ourselves a bit of money D requested that try and cut his hair. The emphasis should be on the "try" there. I figured I could watch a few YouTube videos and give it a go. Worst case scenario D would have to go have someone fix it.

I went, I cut and I think I sort of conquered. I don't think it looks too bad...

I don't think I should make hair stylist my next profession but it is possible I could at least get good enough to continue to cut D and someday baby g's hair.

New State. New Blog

So...I figured that with all the new things we would be encountering with our move to Omaha I thought I would start a new blog. This blog is going to be the place where I journal and share my journey of making our new house a home. I am no interior decorator and I am going to be working on a tight budget but I think it is going to be fun and I hope to learn a few things along the way.

If you're interested in joining me for this journey check out my new blog My Design Dreams at mydesigndreams-ml.blogspot.com.

Apt. #4

We made it!!

Our trek to Omaha went fairly smoothly minus the 30 minute crying bouts that occurred from baby g while stuck on the freeway in one lane construction. Yeah not fun.

By the time I arrived in Omaha I was exhausted. Thankfully the moment I was so nervous about (walking into our never before seen apartment for the first time) went exceptionally well.

It was just as it was pictured and I was SO grateful.

We have now been here for 7 days and I have quickly determined my likes and dislikes about our new place.

It seems the footage we added was taken away from what we had in our previous appliances. We have a small washer and dryer, fridge and dishwasher but they all do their jobs and do them pretty well so I can't complain too much. I am not a huge fan of the blinds (they're kind of cheap). I don't love the cabinets, they're kind of a white pinky purple color (will post pictures later). I also am not a fan of the fact that the bathroom has no drawers just one big cupboard and under the sink storage.

On the other hand... I LOVE how tall our ceilings are. We are on the bottom floor and I don't even feel like we are. It is fabulous! I love that we have quite a bit more space, meaning square footage. Crazy what a few more feet can do. I have a laundry ROOM and it is incredible. It is a clean freaks dream. We also have tons of storage which pretty much rocks my world. Our closet in the master bedroom is huge in comparison to what we had and I couldn't be happier. Overall I am really digging the new place.

Soon to come...the full blown tour!

Bath Time

Baby g has come a long way.
From screaming. . .


. . . to this. Totally loving his nightly bath. I think it actually might be soothing to him now.

3 Months

Our little guy is three months and of course I can't believe he is already that old. He is getting so big!

We don't have another Dr. appointment until he is four months but doing the little scale trick I would say he is close to twelve pounds! I would also guess that he has probably grown another inch in length.

This kid just gets to be more fun every day. His smile completely warms and melts my heart. There is nothing like having his big blue eyes meet mine and then break out in a huge grin. It seriously is the best!

I sure love our little guy! Happy three month b-day baby g!

Two Month Stats

Gavin is two months! I can't believe how quickly he is growing.

We had his two month check up today and it went well except for the shots. . . Mom really hated that so I can't imagine how it felt. The only good thing about it is that I have an excuse to cuddle and love my little guy extra!

Here are the two month stats:

Weight: 10.3 lb 18%
Length: 24in 86% (this boy is tall)
Head: 38.5cm 19%

anywho

I am blogging again over at my other blog "anywho."
