Things here are still a little crazy. Our house is officially back on the market. We have also been doing a few things to the house...which has made for a lot of work. We took out a wall in our kitchen and had to have a light switch and outlet moved, and tomorrow we are replacing the countertop and sink. We also had to patch the walls and paint. I'm not in love with the color, but I'm not painting again. We are also buying a used fridge that is a bit smaller than ours and will be able to fit next to the stove...which will make the kitchen feel a lot bigger. When we had our house on the market last time the biggest complaint we got was that our kitchen was too small. We are hoping by making some improvements to the kitchen it will help to sell our house quicker.

Anyways...Charley is continuing to get big. I just want her to stay my little peanut...but I know that's not going to happen. She will be 3 months old on Thursday! I've started putting her in 3-6 month clothes. I realized last night that some of her 0-3 month sleepers are way too small. The one she wore last night I'm not sure she could even stretch all the way out in. So I put her in a 3-6 month sleeper tonight, which was very hard. I also went through her 0-3 month clothes and took a lot of them out of her closet. It made me very sad to think that she is my last baby...waa, waa, waa. She is smiling, giggling and making little coos. She is just the most beautiful little girl with wild woman hair!

Justus is doing well. He is speaking in more sentences and remembers so much. It's to the point that I have to be careful what I listen to on the radio, what I watch on TV, and what I say. He also can relate things together...like birthday cake, party and candles...the zoo and animals...the store and carts...if I say one of them he usually says what relates to it...if that makes sense. We have decided to hold off on potty training since we have our house on the market. Since showings can happen any time, we figure it just isn't ideal. He asks us to change his diaper when he is stinky and sometimes even tells us that he has to go...but refuses to sit on the potty. Hopefully we will figure out how to combat that before we actually start potty training.

Matthias is doing great as well. He is getting so big! I can't believe he is going to be 2 soon. He is so laidback all the time. He doesn't like being scolded and will cry sometimes when we tell him "no". He always gets a very sad look when we tell him not to do things. He loves giving hugs and kisses, and loves helping me around the house. He is my little helper. When I make our bed in the morning he always hands me the pillows to put back on the bed. He also loves helping me put clothes in the dryer and pushing the button to start the dryer.

I will try to get some pictures posted later this week. The kitchen should be totally done, so I will have to post before/after photos.
