Now that I'm not in school (YAY!), it seems odd that summer is ending. Well, I think I shall declare in our household that summer will be over in the middle of September! :)
I like that!!
We are still waiting to hear back on the possible short sale of the house we'd like to purchase. It's been about 4.5wks since our offer was submitted to the loan company. Which is all right, I guess, since we are still hoping to receive an offer on our current property. Meanwhile, we are saving as much money as possible in preparation for closing costs on the new house. The new job I received in June is helping a bit with that goal.
Elias has been walking about a month now. It's still so cute to watch. He seems so careful most of the time, but has ventured into "running" a bit. Which is also cute to watch! He's been pretty snuggly lately. Even if he doesn't want to be held, he wants to be right next to us. Which makes doing anything around the house a bit more difficult, but there is hardly anything that MUST be done. Yes, potty breaks, but Elias actually has a lot of fun in the bathroom. He can stand on carpet, lean over the tub, flush the toilet, sit on a scale, open the cabinet doors... lots of stuff! :) We usually eat together, so that makes the other necessary chore done. Elias is eating Cheerioes now instead of Puffs as much. I don't think he likes them nearly as much as the Puffs, but I was happy to see Cheerios have a much higher amount of iron in them.
I feel like I want to record each moment, each milestone & activity so that later on, I have a record. I haven't been as dedicated as I'd like to have been. It sure is neat going back & looking at old videos or blog postings from this blog & others. I hope to prepare some sort of blog or photo or journal book (other than his official baby book) for Elias from pre-pregnancy to first birthday. I have a bit of time to import all the data, but it's sure nice to have much of the journaling all done! :)
I guess that's about it for now. I have plenty more to talk about, but not nearly as motivated to type it! Hope to have lots of fun stuff in the next couple of months to blog about as we may have a whole new house to decorate & accessorize!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Yay for summer ending in September... I'd be okay with that. As it is my summer end is looming closer and closer... August 12th :-(... it's back to work. A fun non-journal memory thing that I have done is just a simple calendar. If we do something fun I put a little note in the calendar box about it. Like "First carrots- YUM!" or went to play at pool with Rachel & Elias... You get the idea. I'm much more likely to actually keep it up to date since it only takes a minute and is hanging on his door when I walk in the room.
