MIA


Where the heck have I been? In a nuthshell: moving into our first house (!), chasing a very active and naughty seven month (!) old baby, and sending my big girl off to first grade! It's been a busy month here at the Brewer house, so sorry for the lack of updates lately. I will do a quick run through of what's been happening in our lives.
As I said, we got our house, and we love it. I had forgotten how nice it is to live in an actual home. It still needs a bit of work, and it feels like we're uncovering more things that need done every day, but it's getting there. Pictures soon, I promise.
Maddie recently turned seven months old. She is such a little stinker. She started crawling on August 1, and now you can't stop her. She has also started pulling up on everything she can get her hands on, and she does a bit of cruising on the furniture. I love this age. She is so funny and into everything. She absolutely loves playing with all her toys, as well as Kiley and Delilah's toys.

She loves splashing all the water out of Delilah's bowls


Holding the third door stopper she pulled off in one day

She still eats extremely well-she eats yogurt, oatmeal, peaches, pears, apples, plums, mangoes, bananas, pineapple, green beans, peas, edamame, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and is now starting all the various finger foods they have for babies-puffs, wagon wheels, and lil crunchies. So far the only food she doesn't appreciate is still rice. Can't say I blame her, I don't like rice either.
As for my big girl, we sent her off to first grade on August 15. She is doing great so far, but I sure miss her. I said all summer that first grade was going to be harder on me than kindergarten was, and so far that has proven to be true. She is doing great though, and has even made a "BFF". Thursday is her school's open house, so I get to go see her classroom setup then. Can't wait!


Little miss sassafrass on the first day!
So now that life has calmed down a bit, I am going to start updating regularly again. Thanks for being patient!
