Look Who is 3 Months Old Today!

I'd forgotten how much things can change in 1 month with a newborn. Here's some of Shoshannah's milestones:

• Sleeps through the night!
• Takes a pacifier
• Sucks fingers
• Laughs out loud
• Ticklish
• Takes a nap exactly 2 hours after waking up in the morning.
• Reaches for toys
• Still has dark blue eyes
• New hair seems to still be dark
• Is *almost* in size 3-6 months
• A LOT happier

Who would've guessed that omitting dairy from my diet would make all the difference!

Love love, love this little girlie!

I left you hanging last week, didn't I? I'm sorry.

Our friends who wanted to buy our house weren't able to secure financing. So we are still trusting in God to bring the right people to us.

Our house is going through an inspection on Monday, please pray that we won't have to put a lot of money into it for it to pass.

I'm not sure my life could get any crazier! What a roller coaster!

Gingerbread House Selling Adventures: Part 3

Me- "Yes you can watch a movie. I just need you to keep the house clean because it's being shown again tomorrow."

Xavier- "Ah! That's a nightmare to me! I wish selling a house wasn't so complicated!"
