Just a fair warning before you start reading...it may take you a while because this is a long post!
Alright, I know...I've been slacking majorly! I can't believe I haven't posted in 3 months! But in my defense life has been kinda busy. I signed up for an English class at CGCC and I'm staying very busy with homework (which by the way consists of writing...blah! If you know me you know I don't like to write). Jon's also been very busy with school! He's taking 4 classes...3 of them are science classes, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and organic chemistry. So far he's getting all A's! I'm so proud of him! He's worked hard to get those A's! He studies hard...which is why I haven't posted in so long, he takes the computer with him to school, and then is using it to study when he's home. The only time I have the computer to myself is when he's at work...and then I have to take care of Veja. Today she's sleeping, we woke her up too early to get Jon to work and me to school, plus I'm sure she's exhausted with all the growing she's doing!
Veja is now 7 months old! She's crawling all over the place and is working on getting tooth number 3 and 4! (she got her first two teeth back in September) I couldn't believe that her cute little smile could get cuter...but it did! Those little teeth are adorable! Although they aren't very adorable when she bites me while she's eating. This is new...ever since she's been working on her newest teeth. I'm hoping she'll get over it when they finally break through the gums but I'm not counting on it.
Veja started crawling about 3 weeks ago! It is so fun to watch her crawl from place to place and be able to get to where she wants to go. With crawling came standing...she pulls herself up on everything! In fact just today I was washing dishes while she was playing and turned to check on her and she had pulled her self up to the couch and she was standing on our tent that was laying next to the couch! I might have slightly freaked out...but all is well, no bumps this time. Oh, that's another thing that has come with crawling...bumps and bruises! Since she can get to wherever she wants and can pull herself up on pretty much anything she gets to learn how to not fall...every little bump is a tramatic for her. It's cute how she starts crying after every little bump. It gives me the chance to cuddle her and comfort her. :) But I don't like the big bumps either. She had a bruise on one cheek a week or so ago and now that one has finally faded she has another one on the other cheek. Oh well...she's learning how to be tough, right?
We moved over Conference weekend! We are no longer living with my parents! It's fantastic to have a place of our own again! I love my family, and I enjoyed the time we got to spend with them, but we needed our own space to be our own little family. We are now living in the apartment that Jon's parents built off of their house. (yeah I know, we moved out of one family and into the other...but it really is better I promise! At least now we have our own space to decorate and cook and be alone). Ben and Heidi were living here before us, but seeing as how they're expecting their second (this month!) they needed a bigger place. It took a while for their new place to get finished, Heidi's brother built an apartment over his house and that's where they are now, so that's why we stayed at my parents for so long. I'm really enjoying having my own space and thinking of all the ways I can decorate...on a budget...I have fallen in love with www.pinterest.com! Thank you Jessica for introducing me to it...I now have a place that I can go to and look at a ton of different ideas for anything I can think of! :) Did I mention that I love it?!
I spent last week making our Halloween costumes (which we only wore for the ward party and not actually on Halloween). I decided that since Veja is so adorable with a little pony tail on top of her head she would make the cutest Pebbles Flintstone EVER! But I can't just dress her up and not dress up myself! So Jon, Veja, and I became the Flintstones for Halloween. I had fun making our costumes. :) We're planning on dressing up again today and taking pictures since we didn't get very many. So I'll be posting some more pictures soon...hopefully. Until then here are a few that Jon's dad took of us at the party:
