Waiting on C

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of C.. my dear sweet niece who I absolutely love to pieces and have yet to meet. In our waiting state, we hung near home in case we got the go time call. We didn't, we are still waiting... eagerly, excitedly!

Here's a little looksie into our weekend at home.

Lots of happy, lots of playtime!

Home is comfy!

Is there anything as comfortable as your home? 

... Even when a bathroom remodel takes over. 

... Or when you stay in your pjs all day even when therapists and construction workers arrive?

...Even when you see a Packers dump on the road while running out for a tea. When I spied the dump while Daredevil was at home with Mammy and his therapists, I had to snag a picture. 

I'm sure not in Kansas anymore. But home is so sweet, even with its chaos.

I'm on Instagram! Follow me at danibrown1607. #crafthouse #whatevercampcreate for pictures from all of us here this week!

It really feels like a Pinterest, God-loving summer camp. Clearly right up my alley! 

Bugs & Kisses

I'm prepping a lot for Halloween! I know, I know... way early, but I have lots to do! I'm making 4 costumes, making school treats, getting stuff ready for Disney and making some little treats for our army of therapists and teachers. Here's what we're making for our army!

We've got our bags and our bug and kisses mixture.

Dump our mixture into their bags!

 Fold over, whole punch, add some festive ribbon.

Finalize with some cute tags and the treat is complete!!

Dude is Funny

Daredevil's language keeps having these mini-explosions, if you will. We are amazed at his progress in just a few months.

He is combining two or three word phrases all the time now! Tickle neck, stop singing, open gate, hi kelly, bye bye danny, i love you gammy, move please, didaddy drink, big blocks, gray castle, red dump, yellow bus, yellow digger, more french fries, read more, blue thomas, go up, come down, white ice cream, inside store, and on and on and on! Literally everything is 2 words or more. I love hearing him talk and sing all the time... and the words are understandable (at least to me)! It is unbelievable!

We're working on his articulation and strengthening some of his mouth muscles. We're also working on his eating habits and we're about to start potty training! He is a busy boy, but I just would never have imagined how far he'd come in a few months!

I know it's hard to believe, but I think yesterday is the first day in the history of Daredevil's life that I haven't taken a picture of him.... I know Gammy and Aunt Stephie will be upset... sorry! He was super cute! He stayed in his pajama shirt all day... he refused to let me change his shirt until bath time. :)

Another reason dude is funny. I found some material similar to his Aden and Anais blankies that he always has with him, so I decided to get a yard and attempt to make one for him on the cheap. Hah. As if I could pull one over on him. Every time I hand it to him, he hands it back and goes to his closet to get a "real" one. I've attempted this on several occasions since getting it finished. I guess he just isn't having the fake kind.

PHOTO DUMP

Here's our weekend photo dump!

It was a lazy, chill weekend in Madison. We avoided downtown because of the Badger game and the Ironman competition this weekend, so we really stayed close to home. Since we had so much free time this weekend, we were able to have some spontaneous outings! A long drive by all the construction vehicles at Epic, brunch with a friend, drinks and dessert with the girls, etc!

How was your weekend??

It's Friday, it's Friday!

This week is flying by! 

We've enjoyed getting play areas to ourselves now that everyone's back in school! 

We'd forgotten how nice it was to be the only one somewhere... 

Aunt H told us about these awesome cups! It holds a drink but also has a spot for a snack in the top, complete with a flip top lid. I finally found one and Daredevil loves it. I try to have it ready after preschool!

Our feeding group went well this week. He liked eating with his friends. I really enjoy talking to the other moms so I don't feel so isolated. Daredevil ate veggie straws and the green goddess naked juice drink today. He tried some yogurt for gagged after eating it. Still progress every week! I was extremely proud of him. 

Enjoying more playtime without a multitude of friends. 

My first block of the month club group met tonight! We all made three blocks. I'm so excited for my crazy, bright, and lively quilt! 

TGIF!
