Preliminary apartment pictures

Finally an update! We had a great trip and a record fast move-in: 5 days!! It definitely was because we were trying to stay focused on something other than how far away this place is from home. We got our keys on Friday at 10am, unloaded all three pods that day except for our pull-out couch (there was no room and dad and Paul were beat from hauling up everything else). We had everything in place by Wednesday and spent that morning hanging our big pictures. There is still some decorating and reorganizing to do, but it definitely feels homey. Take a look!Our new home.Dining room

Oliver's room/Guest room
On Wednesday night Oliver would be sound asleep and then when I put him in the bassinet, he would start crying. After sleeping in the Lay-Z-Boy with him for half the night I finally realized that he needed a bigger bed because he would stretch when I laid him down, knocking the sides of the bassinet, waking himself up. I tried the crib, and it worked right away. Doesn't he look like tiny!? I am really not ready for him to be in his own room, but it is going well.



He had a lot of coos and smiles for Grandma during his bath. He has even been giggling. Oliver especially likes to reward those who put him in the water. #5 on my thankful list is our new Lay-Z-Boy.
