Life As We Know It: Better Late than Never, Right?

Hello Friends!

I am soooooo very sorry that this post is a week late. I have no legit excuse for this... except that I've been very busy and tired.

Here's a breakdown of our week. And then we will get to our bathroom and laundry room portion of our House Tour!

This week:

Gabriel was 8 months old on the 20th!
Can you believe it?
I started the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD workout.
I've done it every night since Tuesday...
Yes, she is kicking my behind every night...
But I know it will all be worth it in the end.
I'm determined.
My best friend Rachel and I are also going to start the Intensity DVD workouts this week.
We hear it's hard...
But we're going to give it a shot anyways.
We FINALLY got some bills paid off!
Yes, it feels AMAZING to finally be on our way to getting out of debt!
Have you heard of Dave Ramsey?
Well, I have his books and we've been inspired by his debt-free living plan...
So, we're determined to get there!

I can't leave out an update on my favorite little 8 month old boy! :) He's getting sooo big! Love him. Anyway, here's what Mr. Gabriel Lee is doing these days:

Eating baby food.
His favorites are Applesauce and Sweet potatoes.
Not a big fan of bananas! haha.
Sitting up a lot more!
Rolling like crazy!!
"Talking" like crazy!
His favorite thing to say is "IIII GOOO" for "I'm Good!" :)
We're teething again!
SOOOO much fun...let me tell ya! :)
Taking about 6-8 oz in his bottle.
Learning to like his sippy cup!
Enjoys playtime on the floor with all of his toys!
Love his cousin Emeri!
He likes to give her kisses!
Oh yes, he loves to give big slobbery kisses these days!
They are the absolute sweetest kisses EVER!
Loves to eat his little toes!
Wakes Mommy up bright & early each morning...
Even though we had a talk about this...
I tried to explain that when it's dark outside it means it is still sleepy time.
I don't think he really cares! haha.
But that's completely ok.
Mommy is learning to adapt to early mornings.
I'm not a big fan...but we're getting there! :)
He is about 14 pounds or more!
Wearing 3-6 month or 6 month clothes!
He likes "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"
He will literally sit and watch an entire show.
The "Lion King" is also a new favorite...
Despite the fact that he falls asleep during the last 10 minutes!
Wearing size 2 diapers!
And of course... always keeping Mommy and Daddy on our toes! :)

Love you Gabriel Lee! You're getting way too big way too fast! We can't believe that you will be ONE year old in just 4 months! Time sure does fly by! We are planning you the BEST 1st Birthday ever! Mommy is definitely excited about it! :)

And NOW... Here is the tour of our Bathroom & Laundry Room!
