7 Months




Today is 7 months for Ames!
Here's what he's up to...

- loves drinking out of cups
- not a fan of baby food
- is constantly rolling over
- always has to be busy
- favorite toy is his Little Einsteins radio 
and pretty much anything he can chew on 
- wearing 12 mo. clothes and size 3 diapers
- taller than his 10 month old friends
- Loves the water
- Hates getting dressed
- Is becoming very aware of Thor and smiles whenever he's around
- Loves being thrown in the air
- Has 2 teeth
- Sits up on his own
- Loves to kick his legs, jump in his activity jumper, 
and has a funny little one-legged stomp when he's standing up
- Still loves to be swaddled. We're working on that fun transition.
- Got his first little goose egg today from face planting into his toy
 while sitting on the floor.
I'm sure it's the first of many bumps and bruises to come!

Some of these aren't new to those of you who follow the blog regularly, 
but I figured I'd just sum up what he's been up to over the past month.

We sure love our bubber! He can always put a smile on our faces. 
I especially love his little smirk in the top right below.

Quitting my job to stay at home, start up this blog/design business, and eventually be a mom Becoming pregnant and giving birth to baby Ames  Finding a love for riding bikes and discovering trails across Iowa Landon graduating from law school Running my first 5k Making unforgettable friends and memories while living in Iowa  Trips home to Utah and eventually our move back Vacations to Mexico, Lake Powell, Nauvoo, St. Louis, and Minneapolis  Landon's first deer hunt - which he will never be able to top! :)  Adding several temples to my temple journal list Everything we've been through and experienced this year has helped us to grow and change for the better.

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
