I've been slacking on the blog lately, sorry! Like I said before, we finally moved into our new house and we have been busy getting settled and used to our new home. But we still don't have internet yet, so I haven't been able to get online or blog very much. I did get a new camera today though, which I'm excited about. Hopefully I'll get a lot of use out of this one so I can post pictures for once! Anyway, we have pretty much got everything put away in the house, except for the baby's room which I am currently working on. We had SO much cleaning to do before we moved in, the old owners apparently didn't know how to clean. But I am a clean freak anyway so I scrubbed the whole place. It's all good now! And we pretty much painted the whole house. It's amazing what a difference a fresh coat of paint makes! Which leads me to me to this.... the orange wall. My husband insisted on painting something in the house orange because it is his favorite color. The swatch I approved was like a burnt dark orange-y red color, but somehow we ended up with traffic cone orange. It's on the biggest wall in our TV room, where we spend a lot of our time. So that room is still pretty empty and undecorated because I am at a loss about what to do with it! I need to figure out how to make the orange not so neon and a little more cozy. If that's possible. If not, I'll be changing it. He's lucky it's even orange still! He has a pretty darn nice wife if I dare say so. Especially since I'm 6 months pregnant, I don't have much patience at this point!
On another note, I think Miss Liv deserves an update. She is growing so fast! It makes me sad but I love seeing her grow and learn new things every day. She's a smart cookie. Our latest thing has been potty training. It hasn't turned out to be the nightmare I thought it would, thank heavens. She was almost potty trained in December before we moved, but I think moving in with grandma and grandpa threw her for a loop. But I am happy to report that since she's gotten used to the house, she is almost completely potty trained! In just a few days she went from asking for a diaper instead of a pull-up to telling me every time she has to go, and being excited about it. She even picked out Hello Kitty panties at the store (she's really into Hello Kitty lately). The last hurdle is pooping in the potty, but once she does that I think she'll be all set. I am so proud of her!! I really think it will make all our lives a little less stressful (and less expensive!). My goal was to have her trained before we had the baby, so I'm happy it has gone smoothly so far. She is a little over 2 1/2 now, but sometimes she seems so much older. She is so observant and she picks up on every little thing we say or do. It amazes me how intuitive little kids are. She's always listening and watching me, sometimes I forget that I am an example and role model to her 24/7. I just pray that I can continue to be a good example to her and that she grows up with good self-esteem and a strong sense of self-worth. I love her so much, and I can't wait for her to be a big sister. I'm getting a little anxious about having another baby, I hope I can handle two little girls! But we are very excited, I hope July comes soon! By the way, we haven't picked a name yet, but my favorite is Lola. I have started calling her Lola most of the time, so hopefully I can talk JJ into it, but we'll see!
Anyway, I will post again as soon as I can, hopefully with a few pictures!
