Our First House

Well, we bought our very first house!

I'm so happy to finally have a place of our own and be able to get back on a schedule and start making this house a home.
Our little 100year old home is anything but perfect. I always thought my first home would be brand new so entering into home ownership has been anything but the American dream for me. The first week we were here Jason had to go to Vietnam on business for two weeks so it was just me and the kids in a new area and a new house.
Within four days we had a mice problem! Yep I threw away loads of soiled food! Dang mice! They even got into my cookies first! Currently we have no mice but caught about ten mice.
Apparently someone left a fire alarm in our wall when they redid the ceiling and now it's dying so we have a beep that goes off every 30seconds. So unless we rip open the wall we get to listen to it all day.
I think every house has its quirks and we will learn as we go i guess.  We have lots of plans for this house and hope it can feel like a home soon.
It is located in the town of Hull which is a really cute, quaint, beach town on the south shore of Massachusetts.  Jason takes a ferry into the city everyday. It is the best commute for him.

Kruz 9 months

 We have been so focused on moving and job changes that Kruz's exciting milestones are being overlooked.
Our happy little guy Started crawling at 8 1/2 months. I haven't been looking forward to this stage because I know I will be needing to keep an even better eye on him. Now that he's at this stage it is so much fun and he is a stinkin' cutie when he is crawling! I love having this little baby in our house.

His first tooth came in on the bottom. I've thought that he has been teething for awhile and it has finally popped through!

When reaching for something (everything!!) Kruz uses his middle finger to grab. He also uses his left hand a lot. Sissy Kailah has always used her left hand too.

We love listening to Kruz talk and babble and make sounds he has such a cute baby voice.
Kailah and Kruz have a super sweet relationship. Kruz absolutely lights up when Kailah is around and Kailah likes to take care of baby brother and show him things or play with him. Now that he is getting bigger Kailah is starting to get rougher thinking she can sit on him and play horsey or pick him up to help him see things. It's all in good intentions, we have needed to explain that although he looks as big as you he's still a little baby and we need to be gentle.

Kruz is a really smiley baby who loves attention and stimulation. Just looking at him can make him erupt in laughter and giggles. He has become quite the popular baby model and has booked lots of jobs through our modeling agency Zuri. His biggest bookings have been for Janie and Jack, Gap, Target, Infantino (several times). As well as a few smaller things. It has been so fun to take him to auditions and photoshoots i have really enjoyed it!

Anytime you hold Kruz he pushes you away and is always trying to turn around to see things. He loves to see what's going on and he always has to be doing something.
Lately Kruz has loved to stand up on everything and when you go to sit him down he will flex his whole body straight letting you know he is not going to sit! And if you lay him on his back he flexes his tummy muscles and holds his head off the ground. He is soo strong!
We love our little man he makes us smile and completes our little family.
