What's new with us??

I don't know why, but I feel like I haven't really blogged in awhile...so I thought I would chime in and say what's new with us...

Arwen

• She will be 9 months old in less a week! Wow!
• Got 2 new teeth this week! Her top ones, to be exact...she looks so grown up! And I am currently writing another post about that...all I can say is - biting + breastfeeding = 1 sad mama (yes, that would be me!). So now she has a total of 4 (2 on top & 2 on bottom).
• She is still saying "duck" all the time...its so cute when she actually has a rubber duck or sees a picture of an actual duck. But she likes to say it ALL the time, and labels everything as a "duck".
• In case you were wondering, she is still saying 'dada', 'mama' & 'baba'
• Is an EXPERT crawler! She is crawling from room to room, up and down the hall and is definitely a PRO! Its so funny to watch her, because Destin never really "crawled" at this age, she would just scoot on her belly or army crawl - but Arwen, she is on all fours, and on the go - all the time! OH! AND she is into everything - the cabinets, drawers, and more! I definitely have my hands full!

• She is eating lots of baby foods, sleeping great and more too! But I will save the rest of her updates for next week!

Destin

• Is loving 'Thomas the Train' and trains in general this week!

• Loves being able to dress herself (notice the two different shoes, backwards shirt, and her favorite hat)
• Loves the movie "Marmaduke", and still loves Max & Ruby, Mickey Mouse and more! I love how she likes to watch "Jake & The Neverland Pirates" then she goes around the house saying, "ARRR! PIRATES!" Too funny!
• She is extremely emotional lately, throwing lots of fits when she doesn't get her way - but I think it might be partly due to the fact that she does NOT sleep (for naps or at  night)...UGH!
• Wants to be outside ALL OF THE TIME! She loves the park, playing with chalk, her water table and helping daddy mow the yard.

Patrick

• Getting a summer softball team together with his dad, and four brothers
• Still working every day non-stop (Someday I hope that he won't have to do this all the time)

ME

• Still working on our Family Trees w/Ancestry.com and contacting lots of family members close and far away for help on pics, info, etc.

• Loving my new job at Frugal Fabulous Finds...I am the Product Review & Giveaway Specialist...where I get paid to post deals, product reviews, giveaways and more! If you haven't already been to the site - you should! We are also on Facebook & Twitter!  

Anyways, that's whats new with us...this weekend we are going on an Easter Egg Hunt, getting the girls Easter stuff, celebrating our niece's 10th birthday at Landmark Skate and of course celebrating Easter! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Take care, Melissa
