Awwww Shots!! :(

Well yesterday our little angel got the remainder of her 2 month shots :( not a fun time!! Especially since she was hungry before and fussy, lets just say TOTAL baby meltdown when the shots came, I thought it was just one but she had to have 2.. Poor baby!! She's not quite her happy self today and is still in pain around the areas. Can you believe that shes 3 1/2 months old now??? CRAZY!!

On another note Ari is 12 lbs 6 oz, 23 1/4 inches long (yes that is almost 2 feet!) and in the 75% for head and height and 50% for weight. As her Grammy says "she's going to be a model!!" :) well as her mother I would have to agree, shes one cute baby! Shes making more noises every day, she seems quieter than with her grandparents (guess they're more fun to talk too) but is still noisy. We went on a McDonalds secret shop on Monday and I was ordering and hear this NOISY baby, surely not my angel right?? LOL Imagine me surprise when I walk to the table and shes yelling at Brett!! LOL... so funny! She was in her carseat so I took her out and set her on my lap while we ate, she settled right down- just wanted to be in the mix!! Shes making the funniest face these days, she sucks her lower lip all the way in- its HILARIOUS!! I will try to catch it on camera.

Life is beginning to return to some type of normalcy, Im still trying to figure out how to balance a household and baby LOL- I admire any woman who does it, especially with MORE than 1 child.. My hat is off to you- and if you want to send some advice my way I will take it. My biggest struggle is how to play with her and still clean, organize, etc. How much stimulation do babies need at this age? Im still playing catch-up from when she was born and consider it a small miracle when I actually get 1 room done.

Brett is doing good at work, he just did a walk through with one of the guys at the plant and is on his way to be a qualified machine operator :)! Which is a promotion for him and makes him feel good to be moving forward. Brett has been an AMAZING help around the house, Sunday was a day of rest for me and Brett and Ari hung out all day. We had some friends over for game night and dinner Saturday and it was much needed :) and I am sooo thankful for him!!

PRAYER REQUEST:
They JUST started working on the house in Memphis, and as you can imagine the mortgage payments are causing quite a problem, please pray they will get it fixed soon, listed on the market soon and SOLD!! USAA helped cover a couple months of mortgage payments but now its caught up with us with all the delays.

We are still working on selling the business....


Anyways- hope all is well with everyone, and I hope to get some pictures up soon- just gotta find that camera in this mess!! LOL

Love you all!
Michelle and Ariella (Bretts at work..)
