Going Going GONE!!!

Okay so our house was on the market for 12hrs, the listing went up for agent at 8:30am by 10:30am we had 5 showings booked and by 8pm we had an offer. It was rather exciting and a big sigh of relief for both of us. We close on July 15 eeep! Now we just need to find a new house, unfortunately there is NOTHING on the market in the area we are interested in!!!! BAH! We put an offer in on a house on Saturday and unfortunately lost out in a bidding war, BIDDING WAR I KNOW!!! There aren’t supposed to be bidding wars right now, that is why we decided to move now! Double Bah!

Oh well enough of the house saga, on to the rest of life. We have been our usual busy selves, Jeff ran the Spring Runoff this weekend and went to the season home opener for the TFC. Amelia and chilled on Saturday and went to see a movie with her friends. Monsters vs Aliens, she seemed to like it but informed me it was abit scary. I thought is was abit slow but that may have been because I was running in and out signing back offers on this house we were trying to get. Sunday was a much be relaxed day with just some groceries, a birthday party for Amelia and Sunday dinner at J&D’s.

Amelia’s is slowing developing a sense of humor. Both John and Jeff like to tease Amelia relentlessly, for the last year or two she has bit and will get all upset until we tell her that they are joking her. She is starting to be able to tell when they are teasing her. The other day I was putting my makeup and Amelia was watching me, as she does whenever she gets the chance. I have a basket on the top of the toilet with all my makeup in it, Amelia was rummaging around in it after I had asked her to stop repeatedly, (I was getting annoyed) and she looked up at me and got a quirky grin on her face and said “but Mommy I am just so curious….”, I melted. On the weekend I was making some spiced nuts for snacks during the week, Amelia was asking about them and I told her I was making these so we had a healthish snack instead of chocolate or chips, she looked at me and said “so mom they are NUTrisous”. Jeff and I both laughed and Amelia was pretty pleased with herself. Melie is princess, makeup and generally girlie stuff obsessed these days, Jeff has vowed to put her in sportball this summer 

Amelia is starting to learn her ABCs, she has known the song for awhile but now she is getting much better at writing all her letters. It does amazing me how quickly kids learn at this age. She has this little etch-a-sketch with a pen thant she loves to use for playing “school” Jeff or I are the teacher and we have to tell her what letters to write and have to lead the songs during circle time…

Felix is a happy little dude these days, he makes me laugh. He has this massive grin that I think looks like a muppet. He is getting much more mobile and is rolling all over and can even inch worm along abit and can hold himself up on his knees for short periods. He is a lot getting much stronger at sitting but still looses his balance and topples to one side or the other quite frequently.

He is also developing more hand eye coordination, he reaches up to touch my face now, which I find very cute. He is very good at grabbing his toys.

He continues to be VERY vocal, his latest trick is to yell at the top of his lungs so the rest of us can’t hear ourselves and he smiles away while he is doing it. Ugh!

He is LOVIN’ his food. We have thrown all caution to the wind and have been going crazy with foods. SO far he is had purple carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, squash with onions and cinnamon, Chicken and squash courtesy of Hez, bits of bread, avocado, mango and bananas. You can really tell when he likes what he is getting (which is the norm) because he getting very involved he grabs the spoon and shoves it in his mouth, then if his spoon isn’t in his mouth he has to get his finger to suck on. It is a very interactive and messy affair. Oh he has also had prunes for obvious reasons.

Here is Miss Mealie helping out with some of the house touch ups, she was wearing new clothes so she was told to remove them before helping out with the painting.
