Moved In!

We are officially moved into our new apartment! Yeah! Josh and I love it. I love that I got to paint it fun new colors and decorate it. I'll eventually put up pictures when it is in decent order enough for you to see it. Right now we have lots of boxes stacked up in corners. And actually our whole 3rd bedroom is basically boxes. Josh's Mom was out to visit and help with the move (which we definitely couldn't have done without her help... she carried Macy around in the Baby Bjorn for like 8 hours on Sunday) and she was joking that we should just get a really long tension rod and curtain and make our whole 3rd bedroom a closet. It will be a miracle if all of our stuff fits in the closets. We'll have to make use of the very tall ceilings and just stack stuff to the top.

So this past week we bought a refrigerator.

Our refrigerator was delivered and couldn't fit through the front door... or back door. Oops.

Aylah is just so freakin cute right now. She is so fun to be with and I wish that I could spend more one on one time with her. She is learning how to count. She can go from 1 to 9 but sometimes says 1, 2, 3, pause, 8, niiiiiiine. She loves to say 9. She also still loves Macy. She is very, very excited to see her after every night and naptime. She says "Hi Macy!" kind of like it's the first time she has ever seen her. And she still runs over and gives her a hug and kiss.

Our new apartment might be more in the "hood" than our last place was, if that is possible. Our neighborhood is also very different too. Our old place had lots of diversity but our new place is all African Americans, oh and these weird 4 new white people who just moved in..... "are you lost ma'am?" "Um, nope, just going for a walk with my kids."

Macy is kind of high needs right now. I'm about to venture into letting her cry herself to sleep. I hate this part of the game but understand how important it is in the long run. Wish us luck. Crying at night can be just a little more irritating than it is during the day.

Dawn and I spent 3 hours in Ikea shopping for apartment furnishings when she was here. She was super helpful and I think we did pretty well considering we had both girls with us.

Here is a video of Macy I took today. I was trying to catch her smiling so it's a little "slow" to watch if you know what I mean but I mainly took it for my sister, Marie, because she won't be able to meet Macy until August and I know that she wishes she could see her sooner! There is also a video of Aylah with Macy... Macy makes lots of grunts and squeals, Aylah never made near the amount of sounds as Macy does :)
