Big girl

This is not the face of a baby. I'm not exactly sure where my little peanut went, but in her place is this adorable "big girl". Who knew that I could love her more than I did the first time we met...but I do. I love her more with every passing day.

Baby girl is so long that her little legs hang out of her crib. I don't know why she always sleeps sideways in her crib, but her feet hanging out doesn't seem to bother her.

Benicia, CA

Scott flew to CA this weekend to check out some houses. We have an offer on a house in Fairfield but since it is a short sale, the process is long and drawn out. Mom was out of town (bird watching and horse back riding if you can believe it...and she didn't even fall off the horse! yay mom!) so Scott and my dad looked all over at many, many houses.
Online, Scott has been looking at houses in Benicia but i didn't think too much of it, mostly because I have never actually been there. Well, they drove around Benicia on Saturday and Scott fell in love with the town. It is a pretty small town, but is super cute. Sunday they looked at houses there and he and my dad both fell in love. :) The house was built in 1907 but has been updated. The kitchen is fantastic! The house is smaller and more expensive then we had originally discussed, but he is convinced it is "the one". There is room to build on in the future...which would be a "must" if we plan to stay there long. It looks like we will be making an offer soon! Wish us luck!

On another note, we still have not sold our house! We have tons of showings, but nothing so far. Hopefully something positive will happen soon.

"Uh-Oh"

Caroline has learned a new game! She has enjoyed throwing things on the floor from her highchair or the shopping cart for a while now. Her favorite part is when I pick it up and give it back, because then she can do it all over again. This weekend she started saying "uh-oh" after she throws things. It is a fun game for her...not so much for me. :) Of course I reinforce her behavior because I think it is too cute and laugh every time she does it!

Quick update

My mom keeps giving me a hard time for not updating my blog, so here we go. (happy, mom?) :)
Our house is now on the market. We have had a bunch of showings, but no offers yet. Selling your house is not so much fun...especially in this market. Hopefully something will happen soon! We have had my parents looking at houses in CA...mostly in Fairfield and Vacaville (although Scott found a pretty cool house in land Park this morning...but I think the commute would be too much for him). They found an awesome house in Fairfield that we have put an offer on. Pretty brave considering we haven't actually seen it! It is a short sale which makes things complicated, but hopefully things go well. Scott is going to fly out to CA next weekend to do some more looking. It would have probably been easier for me to go, but flying alone with a baby across the country did not sound "easier" to me.
On another note, Caroline is almost 1!! I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. She is getting bigger and cuter every day. This week, on Monday and Tuesday, I watched Hayes. I was worried about having two little ones running around, but it was a lot of fun. Amy came on Monday and we took the two of them to the museum. They had a great time! He is such a cutie. it was really good for C to see me around another kid. She was a little jealous (okay, really jealous) but by the second day, she kind of got over it.

Here are a couple of pictures from when he was with us and then a picture of what C wants for her birthday!
