Down, but not Out

I want to reassure everyone who still reads this blog that we are not giving up on this house thing yet. I feel like I need to document what has happened, but I have told the story so many times that I am worried the facts will get distorted if I keep telling it. I guess if I write things down as they happen, the facts will remain the same forever...unfortunately it is about 8 months too late to start that for the house.

We have another loan application in now, but we have to wait for an underwriter to become available to look at it. In the meantime, we are making the best of our situation. A lot of things have been going on in our lives right now but we are staying positive and hoping for the best.

Lincoln is sitting up all on his own for long periods of time now. We have been giving him new foods to try each week. We just got him into peaches and sweet peas. Hopefully we get the house soon and we can start making our own baby food. My garden is getting out of control here in the house and I really would love to have a place to give my plants a permanent home so we can get them ready to feed us this summer. Lots of things we need from that darn house. Link needs his own bedroom!! Badly.

It has been awhile...

My last post was in March. I know. I am slacking! We have been quite busy though. We are still working on the house. It seems futile to even myself sometimes, but I think we may be in a decent situation to finally get it. My score is up and we have someone who is finally willing to fight for us.

Lincoln can sit up all by himself now for minutes at a time and he has been chowing down on carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, prunes, applesauce and peas for a few weeks now. We are also getting into early toilet training by taking him to the bathroom when we can tell he is ready to go. He likes his baby Einstein DVD right after breakfast and although he can't fully crawl yet, it is obvious that he wants to start soon.

He is laughing a lot more than he used to. Sometimes we don't even have to provoke it much which is the funniest part. Keep checking out the slideshow as I occasionally send new pictures to it from my phone even when I don't post an entry.
