House/9 Month

Yesterday Jon and I did round #1 of 'housing". We met Rebecca at the first miss of the day. From there we travelled to the one hit of the day. And like I'm sure it's happened to so many others, it has ruined me for any future houses. Sigh.

It made me want to display my wish list for our future house:

  1. fireplace
  2. 1+ bathrooms
  3. 2/3 bedrooms
  4. a backyard with green space enough to run around and have a small garden
  5. wood floors
  6. but some nice carpet too
  7. an eating bar in the kitchen
nice windows

Things it wont have:
  1. split levels
  2. wood panelling 
  3. narrow hallways 
  4. more than 4 rooms 
  5. a scary unfinished basement 
Truly, that lovely house ruined me with its perfect fireplace, its built in desk, those shiny wood floors and updated kitchen... Oh well, maybe it was a touch too awesome and big for us. A family of 2.2 does not need so much. 
***********
In Bear news: he had his 9 MONTH check up last Tuesday! Whoa. Here are his baby stats
Weight: 19.0
Length: 27 1/4" 

Now those silly percentiles that I don't so much like, because really? What's the purpose?
Weight: 90%
Length: 25%
Head: 75%

Congratulations Baby H! You are 9 months old AND demanded his first haircut!

So excited for you guys! Looking for a house is both fun and stressful at the same time. And there is always the agony of finding the "perfect" house that you know you can't have. Hang in there, your house is waiting out there for you somewhere!

oops, that was actually me commenting, not Todd. Silly google said it would ask me to sign in before publishing the comment and it didn't!

Hunting for your home is one of the most exciting things! We had so much fun with it, from laughing at some of the ridiculous home improvements people did to dreaming about what we wished we could afford. You'll know when you walk into the house that just has to be yours, and the funnest part is really making it your own with your family! :) Best wishes on your hunt!

my daughter was 19.5 lbs and 28" on monday...but her percentiles are different since apparently boys and girls grow differently. good luck with house hunting!
