We Finished the Flip House!

We bought this house back in February and have been flipping it! Here are a few afters and some before. We are so proud of it!

Jane Turns 9 Months Old

July 7, 2021

Jane is 9 months old! She knows how to wave and clap and play peekaboo! She just lights up our lives and I consider myself so lucky to be her mom. She waves to everyone she sees and it’s seriously the cutest! Her little teeth are coming in strong and she reminds me every day by insisting on chewing on everything! She loves going outside and looking outside.

Fourth of July Weekend

We had such a blast this weekend! Saturday we went to the Woolley’s for a bbq and Sunday we went to the Woolley’s again, walked to a lake and then drove downtown to watch the fireworks from Shaun’s work balcony. It was all so amazing!

Holland Comes for 3 Weeks!

We are so excited to have Holland here to help with PhotoBerry and with Jane! She has made our days so much fun!

Shaun’s FIrst Father’s Day

We surprised daddy with socks with Jane’s face on them. He loved them and he got lots of laughs at church! The primary dressed him up and he had so much fun! We then ended the day by having dinner with the Evans.

Jane and VAlerie visit the Temple

While Shaun was at the stake center setting apart our new Elders quorum president Jane and I went and played by the temple. It was a beautiful night!

Cartoons and Jane

It was a huge fad to make your family into cartoons using an app so I did it with us! It’s been a hot humid summer but that hasn’t stopped Jane and I from playing and having a great time!

Jane’s New Swing

Grandma Cheatham bought Jane this fun indoor swing and she loves it! Now I can cook or work while she swings. It’s the cutest. Also throwing one in of Jane sleeping. Love this girl!

Jane has a Febrile Seizure

6/8/2021 The scariest day ever. Jane had a slight fever starting around lunch time. She was being extra snuggly so I knew she didn’t feel good. She took a long nap on me and I monitored her temperature and it never got above 100.5. I called her pediatrician and the nurse just told me to give her Tylenol. Shaun came home early because our friends the Laxton’s went into labor and we are dog sitting their dog Sherlock. At 5:25pm Shaun gave Jane Tylenol. At 5:35pm we went next door to see how everything was doing on the flip and while standing outside with Jane in my arms she suddenly bent backwards. She does this sometimes to look at trees. Shaun made me aware that she was bending backwards farther than usual and I looked at her and her eyes were rolling back into her head. I knew instantly she was having a seizure. We both went into panic mode and ran into our house next door. I laid her on the ground while Shaun called 911. Her lips were turning blue and she was unresponsive and I was starting to think I was losing my baby. I rolled her on her side and started rubbing her back. Shaun had the ambulance on the way at this time. The dispatcher was asking if she was breathing and she was but very weirdly. Shaun told me to rub her chest so I did and she started to breathe a little more normal. I was begging Jane to stay with me in complete flight mode. Jane started to regulate a little and do some soft cries but still wasn’t herself. I moved her to the couch still on her side while we waited for the ambulance and sobbed. The EMTS arrived and barely touched her. She was whimpering when they got there. They informed us it was probably a febrile seizure and told us it happened all the time which made me feel a little better but still scared out of my wits. They told us to call the pediatrician to see what they suggested we do and then left. The pediatrician told us to go to the ER at Le Bonheur Children’s hospital to have her checked out. We went there and they did some testing and tested her for a uti by inserting a catheter to get some urine. It came back clean and everything else checked out. They released us at like 10:30pm and Shaun and I were still so worried that we hardly slept all night and monitored her because they told us to watch for another one within 24 hrs. She has been clingy today but we have kept up on Tylenol and she’s been doing better. It was literally the scariest thing that has ever happened to us and I hope it never happens again. Jane is our whole world right now and I’m just so glad she’s okay. She has a follow up appt with her pediatrician in a few days. We were so grateful for the prayers our families said and loving words.

The bottom 4 images are from 6/9/2021 the day after the seizure.

Jane Turns 8 Months Old!

6/7/2021 This little sweet wiggly baby girl turned 8 months old today! The same day as her Grandma Walkers birthday! The only thing that would have made it better is if we could have celebrated with grandma! This month Jane made HUGE strides! She crawls, pulls herself up onto things such as the couch, has 4 teeth, loves to sing with mommy, loves attention and people and can not get enough of it, eats all sorts of food and is seriously the happiest baby I know. I’m so lucky to be her mom and to be able to chase her around the house and watch her develop and grow! The blurry moving photos show just how fast this little thing is! Says mama, dada, baba, nana, and all sorts of things we don’t understand yet. She lights up my world! She popped her two front top teeth on this day!

June fun

We have had such an eventful beginning of June! Here are some photos to prove it!

We got Bella a new bed and she refuses to use it! We will be returning it soon. Lol

If you’ve ever wondered what I look like when I’m looking at my phone, here it is! Hahaha also here are some nice clouds.

Jane’s first bath without the tub insert. She loved it! Also here she is while we were playing the next day!

Elder Hunter Duncan (one of our favorite missionaries) came to visit with his parents! It was so fun! We went to Elwood Shack.

Jane with her birthday twin and Leo at a Vegan freezer meal Friday morning. Got my credit card info stolen. We got a new PhotoBerry sign. Shaun trying to feed Jane with a huge spoon. Selfies with my little sweetheart!

Like father like daughter on a Sunday afternoon.

New Windows at the Flip House and Other Shenanigans

We got new windows done at the flip house and they look so beautiful! Now all we need is some new paint on the exterior and inside and a new bathroom and we can call it good.

Bella and Jane playing around today. And the most AMAZING Chicken sandwich Shaun has ever made me. Yummmmmm.

Play date with the Dudley’s today. Jane loves playing with Mabel and Leo and I love hanging out with Emily. It’s a win-win.

End of April Goodies

Jane started teething and a hold appeared for her first tooth! We were really excited for beautiful warm weather.

Jane’s Sleep Regression

So I got so excited learning how to make Jane’s food that I didn’t prepare myself for Jane’s sudden inability to sleep!!! This last week has been awful! The other night she woke up every two hours and would not be consoled without feeding. For some reason “letting her cry it out” feels unnatural to me so despite everyone in the world telling me to do it I am holding off until desperation kicks in. Shaun makes fun of me because I always talk about the Neanderthals and cavemen and what they would do going completely off of instinct. So despite everyone telling me also to never let her sleep in our bed, she gets the best sleep there right now and we will figure it out later. *facepalm

Grandpa and Grandma Walker come for a Visit.

We soaked up all the time we could while grandma and grandpa were here! We went on walks, watched movies, and ate yummy delicious food! Jane was so excited to greet them in the morning and particularly loved laughing and smiling at grandpa’s facial expressions.

She Scoots!!

I should have posted this forever ago but our girl Jane scoots now! She army pulls with her arms and pushes with her legs! She started doing this on April 14, 2021. She can also now semi sit up, she’s still a bit wobbly and I have to be there so she doesn’t face plant as she’s trying to pounce for the next object but she’s growing too fast!
