Warner's 1st Tooth!

Warner has shown signs of teething since 3 months old!  Quite the opposite of little Aves who didn't get her 1st tooth until she was 9 months old!  But it was until yesterday that I finally felt one pop through!  The poor thing was in so much pain yesterday chewing everything he could get a hold of.

And sure enough, while I was rubbing teething pellets against his gums, I felt it.  His bottom-middle-right tooth has made an appearance. 

This is our attempt and getting a picture of it.  Pretty impossible but made for some really cute photos!  ;)

Warner - 5 Months!

Yes.  Warner will be 6 months in 3 days but at least I am posting his 5 month pictures before then!  ;)

And if you can believe it, I actually took these on his 5 month birthday!

Here's something new for you:  I LOVE HIM!  Not sure if I've mentioned that one yet.  He's simply perfect in every way.

The Move.

I'm such a believer in the character of family members and friends being shown through times of need.  But with family and a really amazing one, you are never let down.  This move definitely crept up on us and we needed help.  A LOT of help.  From babysitting, heavy lifting, curtain hardware hanging, chalkboard making, transportation, food, laundry, guidance, advice, pep talks, more heavy lifting, cleaning and unpacking...we needed help. 

To my incredible, phenomenal and selfless family...THANK YOU.  We are speechless and are 110% sure we could not have done it without you.  Thank you for not only sharing in our excitement and anticipation for this endeavor over the last year, but for stepping up during the necessary but not so fun parts.  You went above and beyond the call of duty.  We are indebted.  

If you can believe it, the house is still not complete but within a couple weeks, maybe even less, I will post pictures that will actually look finished!  Grass goes in tomorrow; one more day of touch-up painting and outside brick should be in this week. 

In the meantime (and thanks for your patience!), here is an overall look into the days and days of our move! 

Jamie came in 5 days before her work event to help!  And not only did she work her butt off but we gave her our cold!  :(  It was hardly a vacation for her :(

My mom watched the kids day in and day out AND helped load and unload, load and unload.  She was truly a lifesaver and willing to do anything we needed of her!!!!

Our backyard beauty.  Okay - it's changed a bit since move in ;)

Man, I love these two.

Paver installation.

Custom dog gates and baby gates!!!!!!

She never stopped.  Seriously.

Whatever I needed.  Whatever I wanted.  He was there.

The basics of Warner's room :)

Thank you Lisa for all your help!!!!!

Finding in humor in all of this!

Good quality time.

Tired.  Really really tired.

What's up with our new dog hotel?

There are no words.  We could not have done it without you two.  Wow.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

And throughout all the chaos, my mom noticed Warner's closet had about 1/3 of the amount of clothes Avery's did.  The next day she went on a shopping spree for that sweet boy and he is set!!!!

Ann literally took home 10+ loads of my laundry and did it all for me.  Are you kidding me!?!?

Snuggles time with Gramzie!
