8 months and more house progress!

Oh how time flies...( do I say that alot ? :) ) Jett turned 8 months - and is crawling! Did I actually write that? With the other boys, I was soo excited by each new milestone...but not with Jett. I just want to freeze time. Hes the bestest baby and I love love him and every stage. Hes babbling tons, eating more variety finger foods, hes loosing interest in his afternoon nap( ALREADY?!) and unsure how long that will go on. Hes difficult to get down to sleep these days...and honestly hes in a terrible habit of wanting his back rubed until he does fall asleep. And believe me depending on the night this can last 30 minutes or more. Its Jonathans fault! hehe. He loves spoiling our little one but its created some bad sleep habits. We are planning on our Canada trip still in a few weeks and we are itching to get outta here! The other night we got tickets to the SL REAL game. Oh boy...soccer fans are crazy...and we had the BEST time. Or I did!! I would take the boys again it was quite the treat. Jonathan has been busy as usual with the house. Its a lot of time, which is scarce to finish up and or start new projects but one more project down! The boys bath took a long time as the details and plumbing issues but Im thrilled with the end result. I really had fun picking out the finishes and details, and Im trying to keep consistency in the home as we remodel. I have stuck with the subway tile for the bathrooms intentionally but wanted to break it up with the penny round. For the master bath that is the next project, we will continue with the subway tile but with a few twists...Im excited to see how things end up. I really am happy with the way the house is coming along. Its been a long road. Its a home that has a footprint I cant change, and issues that I have with things that wont ever be different, but when I walk into rooms now there are less and less things I dislike. I find myself happy when I am home and enjoy being there now. I see how much work and investment Jonathan has made in making our home a place we can enjoy at the expense of his own personal time and its made me love him all the more. He constantly is learning new things and I hope that its a labor of love.
