8 Months/"Back to School"/35 Weeks

Another random blog of everything going on this week.

At 8 months, Rose:
Weighs 18 pounds!
Is eating about 6 6-ounce bottles per day!
Is eating nearly any and all baby foods, and loving them!
Wears size 12-18 month clothes and shoes that fit are hard to find since our feet are a wee chubby ;).
Is babbling "bye bye" and lots of consonant/vowel combos. 
Can wave and clap when prompted.
LOVES LOVES LOVES music!  Music speaks to her!
Knows her parents are WEAK for her giggles and grins.  It is no wonder she's so spoiled.

The Kerrs hosted a special going away party for us this past Saturday.  It was so kind of them and we enjoyed getting to spend a few hours with our favorite people in Lubbock.  They will all be missed very much.  Yet again I did not think to take photos.  :(  Val of course had every detail beautiful!!

Because of the move, our girls will not attend a CDO here, so their first day of school didn't happen today.  I did snap some photos of them yesterday though, just to have on "file".  :)  I am going to try to be more structured for Grey with lessons.  She loves to learn, so it should be quite fun!  Rose follows along with anything Grey does, so I am excited about this fall even if I will miss them getting to be a part of a CDO.

This is officially the worst ever weekly photo for a mom to take.  We were at the Allen's home until late last night, so I snapped this at an hour I won't even care to admit.  Poor girl was such a trooper, even with the most tired eyes I have ever seen on her.

We had given potty training a break, since Grey only wanted to tee-tee in the potty.  I started it back up again yesterday, and I think this is it!!  I bet we can officially say we are potty trained!  WOOOHOOOOO!!!!  There has been some major celebrating around here, complete with Frozen and Elmo underwear, Chick-Fil-A cookies and dancing!  Lots of dancing.

Chet is in Dallas this week, so I am getting the hang of working from home with the kiddos while he is away again.  I feel like it's not that unusual considering he spent so many months in Oklahoma.  I am CRAVING togetherness though, and cannot wait for us to move into our new home in McKinney on September 20th.  We can do these next 24 days! 

Today is our niece Hannah Grace's 3rd birthday!!  Happy Birthday beautiful Hannah!!  We love you!
