Life update

Wow it has almost been a year since I last posted. I really am terrible at this. What has happened since I last wrote here? Well, my son hasn't stopped growing.

 He will be two in a month! He is learning new things everyday. I am sad that I didn't use this blog to record more of his milestones. Better late than never? Ty has a vocabulary of at least 50 words, and adds to it everyday. He is really starting to repeat me when I tell him what something is. He thinks every color is "boo" (blue). He calls every type of automobile a car. Speaking of, he is obsessed with cars. So, we are redoing his room with that theme. We tried to transition him to a big bed, but he refuses. So, he has a twin size bed, and a crib in his room. He sleeps from 8pm to 8am so, I can't complain. We bought him a potty, and he has used it twice, but he's not ready. He still wakes up soaking wet. Plus, I am not ready. I am kind of scared to start this whole process. We are using cloth diapers again. We started them when he was 3 months and quit after his first birthday. Liners are my best friend. I can't believe it took me so long to realize that's what I needed. 


We had a pretty big event happen in our home back in January. We had an unusually cold winter here in Alabama. The temperature dropped into the single digits for about a week. Our pipes busted in our kitchen not once, not twice, but in SEVEN places. 

Long story short,we got new flooring! It was a blessing in disguise. We had planned to do tile in our kitchen in the future. We also hated our living room floor, but we were going to have to live with it, because we couldn't afford new hardwoods. The insurance money took care of both. We are so happy with the final product! 


We also got our backyard fenced in with our tax return. Now baby boy can play outside to his hearts content! This has definitely been a year of home remodeling. 


My sweet hubby bought himself a toy to tinker with. He purchased a '74 Dodge Dart sport. He is over the moon. I just see a money pit, but don't tell him I said that. ;)  


I think that about sums it up for now. Have a great day :)
