the catch-up post

Just to warn you, it'll be a long one. I wanted to catch up and document all of the things that have happened in the last month since I had posted. Covid definitely helps with that, because it cuts down on the things we can go and do, but there are still a lot of pictures, because my kid is cute.

Here we go:

Bryson "helped" me pack up the rest of the old house.

Look at those little teeth!

We had a MOVING photo shoot, of course.

Spent time at my mom and dad's house while we had 17 house showings in 2.5 days. 

We're still worshiping at home for the time being. This was taken during one of our church's live streams.

We celebrated Mother's Day! I knew I'd enjoy being a mom...but it's so much more than I'd ever imagined it would be.

More packing...and the most perfect little faux-hawk I've ever seen. Since this picture was taken about 2 or 3 weeks ago, his hair has grown enough that it's finally starting to lay down. I'm so sad!

We took Bryson to see his new room at the new house!

Oh man...that mess! But look at how good Bryson has gotten at sitting up on his own!

We celebrated our 10th anniversary by packing haha!

Getting used to the new house!

My mom painted this coffee table for us, and Bubba loves to lay under it! He's feeling right at home here. His only complaint is that he can no longer run down to the basement when we run the vacuum cleaner.

Is it even 2020 if you don't have a mask-selfie?

Ty got my craft area set up right away down in the basement. I was shocked and surprised, because I thought it was all going to have to be in my office. My first project here was putting our address on the mailbox! (And a little surprise on the inside!)

Memorial Day weekend was dedicated to family. Ty's brother and his family came into town and we spent the majority of the weekend with them. They came to see the new house, and then we went over for a bonfire, then back the next day. It was definitely the most stimulation Bryson has had in a few months! I was surprised at how well he did with all the people, especially after being cooped up at home with just us for so long.

Lydia insisted on feeding Bryson his lunch. It was possibly the messiest meal he's had, but she eventually got the hang of it. She even helped change a diaper!

After a LONG debacle with Lowe's our washer and dryer were delivered. I LOVE how big the drums are...we can do massive loads!

This was the first time that Ty's cousin Tenley, who has Down Syndrome, held Bryson. As you can tell from our faces, this made Ty and I so happy! Tenley loves Bryson so much!

Bryson loves his uncle Jason! 

The next day, Lydia did my nails.

He also loves his Aunt Tara!

This kid is officially rolling all over the place.

And he's been fighting his morning nap lately, which means I get more snuggles because he'll sleep if I'm holding him. 

He also sleeps with his butt in the air now. Which is very cute, if you ask me.

And just like that, my maternity leave is officially over and I'm writing my Meet the Teacher letter that will get mailed out to my new students in a couple weeks. Time flies!

If you're still here...you da REAL MVP! I think that pretty much catches us up on the last month.
