So, I've decided to start blogging. Our crazy family always has so much going on and I want to be able to remember this later on in life and this is a great way for out of state family to keep up with what is happening!
Noah is officially 5 months old today! I cannot believe how much this little guy is growing up! He can now sit up (almost completely by him self) and he can get on his hands and knees all by himself and rock back and forth. He goes to bed around 9pm, and usually wakes up at 7 or 8. Mom & Dad go to bed shortly after him, so all of us get an awesome amount of sleep :) He eats baby food 1-2 times a day mixed with oatmeal or rice cereal and he LOVES it! He knows to open his mouth when he sees the spoon now too! He loves his bouncer and his little mini swing too. Now that we're finally moved and settled into our house, he takes some awesome naps in his crib, which makes mommy a much happier lady. Here's a picture of our big 5 month old! Along with his drool, of course!
I'm not sure who's all going to be following this blog, but I'll update everyone anyway :) Basically long story short, Matt got out of the Marines October 15th, 2011 (almost a year ago, holy crap!), and after that, we moved back to Michigan (our home state) I got a job at a salon, he got a job as a diesel mechanic. We were barely getting by, and by barely, I mean after rent and bills were paid, we had nothing. Noah was born May 6th, 2012 and shortly after that, Matt and I had a "life changing conversation" as we like to call it. I had a friend whose husband had this awesome job in the oil/gas field for a company called IPS, who just so happens to LOVE hiring former Marines. So I contacted my friend the next day, and got the recruiters phone number, and within a week, Matt was hired! He left for training shortly after that to Texas and Oklahoma. About a week after he got home for training, we moved to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. I absolutely HATED it here at first. We were in temporary housing that his work offered us until we could find a place of our own, and it was attrocious. But, Now we are in our home and I am in love with this city and the people in it! Here's a few pictures of our house now :)
Front of the house, of course!
Living room!
Kitchen! My favorite room :) Still needs some new curtains!
Our pumpkins and mums on the front porch.
I suppose that is all for now! I will definitely try to keep this blogging thing going! This entry was super fun!
