Growth Spurt

    My poor little guy had a rough night. After the annoying fireworks that woke him up at 11:30, he finally fell back asleep at 1. I could tell he was having a hard time breathing because he kept loosing his paci from having to breath through his mouth. He woke up happy, but with a runny nose.

I think he may have grown over night because I don't think his pj's were this short last night. HAHA!

One Thing After Another

*Negative Nancy here* The last few days have been pretty lousy. Between breaking my phone and hardly being able to talk to people, the power going out for 6 hours, spending hours on the magic jack trying to figure things out with people in the states, finishing my 20 CEU's to renew my nursing license, and filing our claim for our items that were damaged during the move.... I am just over it! This is how the last few days have gone...

Thursday: 

I had to make a trip to post, so we stopped by the park for a little while.

Italy House: Living Room

    The living room is the first room you see when you walk in through the front door. We usually use the kitchen door, but this room is my favorite. Partly because it has my first big purchase from here: an antique Persian rug, which I am in love with! Thankfully everything we already had matched it. I really like how bright the room is when the shutters are open, yet we can make it pitch black if we close them. Since we have a one year old, we have to have an area for him to play down here. We put a small table for him in one corner, and a cube shelf unit in the other.

Playground Fun

    Some days it's nice to change things up a bit. Instead of running around and keeping Connor in his stroller the entire time, we made stop at the playground. He was actually sleeping when we got there, but I woke him up and as soon as he saw the swings he started smiling. 

Searching For Euros

   Connor and I got some much needed time out of the house today, but not until we both took a nice, long nap this morning. We had a rough night. And by rough, I mean Connor kept me up what seemed like ALL NIGHT! I ask myself all the time if he is ever going to sleep straight through the night. Then I think surely he will... one day. Anyways, after we woke up from our nap I got dressed. Connor sat in the bathroom, eating his raisins while I did my hair and makeup. That never happens! 

Enjoying the nice breeze while eating his raisins.
