I did something!

Last Saturday I had laundry and dishes caught up so I was dinkin around on the computer while Abraham was sleeping. I started getting bored with that so I thought what can I do?!?!? I thought of something!! Sam and I have talked about taking the carpet in the living room up since we moved in and I knew that it wasn't going to get done if I didn't start it right then, because as you know spring is coming quickly and that means we are busy busy busy. So I just started in on it, taking baseboards off, got that done and Abe was still asleep, so then started ripping the carpet up, and taking the tack strips up. Abraham ended up sleeping for almost 3 hours, and I got a lot done in that time, and I wanted to keep going after he was up and Sam wasn't home yet. Anyway, Sam came home and was less than impressed with my timing of taking the carpet up, but is VERY happy I did it and with the results. We knew there were beautiful hardwood floors underneath and this is the way it looks now.

So there are some consequences for not planning ahead, and this is what they are. I can live with it for awhile, but soon we will have to head to lowes and get some trim for the door jams, and I will have to paint so we can put the baseboards back up.

Since everbody looks here for pictures of Abraham, and since today is his 4 month Birthday here is a pic. He really likes this walker. It makes him look like he is standing in the picture, but he isn't, his toes barely touch the floor. He is such a cutie pie! This pic was taken a couple weeks ago, since we still have carpet there!

3 months!

3 months has gone so fast, and yet it seems like Abraham has been part of our lives forever. I feel like we are very well adjusted to the changes he has brought, and getting into a pretty good groove with him. He has pretty much made his schedule and we stick to it pretty well. He usually wakes up around 6 am, some mornings its 5 but usually not any later, we don't really have a good nap schedule because when we go places it always messes them up. However, he does usually take a nap in the morning and in the afternoon. Then around 6:30pm he starts to get fussy so we start his bedtime routine of changing clothes and diaper, eating. He is usually pretty much asleep by the time he is done eating, but I go ahead and sing him Jesus loves me and say a prayer and then put him in his crib. He has been sleeping all night for probly about 2 or 3 weeks, and this past week he has been in his crib, which is upstairs, all night. It was a little hard the first couple nights putting him upstairs for the night, since he had been right in our bedroom, but its ok and he is used to it, and I am getting there! He got his shots wednesday and he was such a trooper, He cried a little but once we put him in his "man cave" aka carseat he was better.

Sam and Dad have been busy in the shop, they have insulated, put up metal, and put in a loft. They got the planter in last weekend, and are getting it ready for planting. Spring is coming fast, and there is still plenty to get done before it arrives, but as always we are very excited! No pictures of the shop yet, Sam has those on his phone, and Mom has some also but I don't have any!

Pictures

Pictures are all that anybody really wants to see so here are a few.

He is such a big boy!! He will be 2 months on Friday, time has flown!

Talking

Abraham is talking a lot now...When he is in the mood! He is absolutely adorable, and I can't get enough of him! He is growing so fast. We only have to get up about 2 times in the night, so that is really nice.

3 weeks

Its been almost a month since Abraham was born. Time goes so fast! He is starting to sleep a little longer at night, which is VERY nice, he is looking me and people in the eye, he holds his head up, and when he is in the right mood he will pull himself up. He is a very strong little guy and is growing very fast. Last monday at his 2 week check up he weighed 8 lbs 13 oz, and today at a "moms meeting" he weighed 9 lbs 13 oz!! He got to meet his Aunt Beth and Uncle Josh on Monday, but I failed to get any pictures...thankfully grandma did, we will just have to get them from her. He now just has 2 uncles and 1 aunt to meet.

He is a very happy baby. We couldn't be more happy with him. Even though he keeps me up at night he brightens my day.

Harvest Progress

Harvest is progressing slowly but surely. We are half done with corn, and completely done with beans. The elevator we haul corn to is slow the drier is slow, But we are almost done at the drier so then the guys can get a little more sleep hopefully.

This is maximum effiency

I started this post a long time ago but uploading pictures was so slow I kept putting it off. But now we are finially done with harvest. Everyone is very tired of this long harvest we have had. Abraham hasn't been out to the field yet but is very excited to see what its all about!
