Life as of late.

Nothing new or exciting has really been happening. We're still anxiously waiting to hear back from grad schools. And I've decided that grad school applications are ridiculous and it makes me want to puke. They charge way too much money and take way too long to get back to you. It's really annoying. And that's about all that's really been going on for us.
Mr. E is seriously growing by the second. Over the past 3 1/2 weeks he's figured out something new everyday. Over Christmas he learned "so big." Now he's on to army crawling, with the occasional actual crawl, pulling himself up, walking (assisted of course), clapping, hitting his head while clapping, doing a froggy swimming motion, eating more finger foods, holding his own cracker, screaming if we're eating and he's not, NOT sleeping through the night, playing and interacting with us, and not wanting to sit still...at all. It's been so fun to see him grow and progress. But does he really have to grow up so fast?!

He loves to help me bake

Loves standing now

And to crawl-ish

He's also turned into a little cuddler, and by cuddler I mean he'll rest his head on our shoulder, or bunny boo, for 3-8 seconds


And I thought this was cute. He woke up from his nap and I noticed he had a little hand print on his cheek where he must have been laying on it.


Every Christmas my mom's sister sends her family these awesome boxes filled with goodies. And my mom was nice enough to give me her leftover box so I could transform it into a toy box for Mr.E. Well, after 3 weeks of just staring at it, I FINALLY bought the necessities to finish it. And I'm quite proud of it if I do say so myself :)




Oh, I guess I should add that this was just a plain wood box. I added the hinges, and covered the lid and inside with fabric.
Hope everyone is enjoying their January..it's almost over!! What? How did that happen? Can you believe I'm already planning Mr.E's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! Ahhhh! I'm freaking out.
Oh, and we finally got some snow!
