Texas Apartment: Living Room/Dining Room

We are mostly done with our 2 bedroom apartment here in Houston. It's the biggest apartment we've had so far at 960 square feet. It's a little older, especially the kitchen and bathroom, but they put in new carpet before we moved in. I probably wouldn't be so done with our place but we had help unpacking and stuff from my parents. I am so grateful for all their help. It was kind of hard blending our old stuff that we had in storage in CA with the new stuff we bought in NYC. I had different tastes back then and a different color scheme going. I only bought a few new things. This is 95% our old stuff just blended together and definitely on a budget. It's not perfect, but I think it turned out fun. I'm going to add some different wallpaper to the oriental screen to make it more modern. We are using an old patio table for our dining room table for now. Haha! We are hoping to buy a home here in the near future, so we didn't want to buy stuff for this apartment only to not have it work in our new home. I will post the baby's room and our bedroom in the next post.

8 Month Photo Shoot

We are all settled into our new apartment here in Houston! It's almost done, so I'll post pics on that later. Today Weston turned 8 months old! John is out of town training in Atlanta, so I took on the task of taking pics of a very wiggly, mobile 8 month old. It was hard enough just to get him to sit still so I could put on his sticker! Hence, the unevenness of the placement. He is growing so much everyday and we are grateful to have this wild child! Here are some facts about Weston at 8 months:

You sleep for 9-10 hours a night! (Finally!!) 

You love oatmeal mixed with apples, pears or bananas in it. You eat solids 2 times a day.

You can crawl.

You love to stand up to anything and everything including standing up in your crib!

You have 6 full teeth and counting.

You are very alert and into everything! I have to watch your every move.

You love to watch Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. In fact, you refuse to eat solids unless Sesame Street is on. We have created a monster! Oops!

You don't have very long naps. 2-3 short naps a day.

You were wearing a size 3 month onesie for this photo shoot. Haha!

You still wear size 2 diapers.

We are still swaddling you for sleeping, even though you get right out of it. It helps you fall asleep.

You love to jump in your johnny jump up.
You love to get the remote and our iphones. 

We think you weigh around 16 or 17 pounds.
You are getting over your first cold right now. Boo. No fun.
