6 Months Old

Really!!  Half a year!  Say it isn't so!  Our sweet little Cadence is 6 months old today.  It seems like yesterday we brought our little miracle home.  We sure love her.  She has brought so much joy to our home (and we were very happy already).  Her brothers are wonderful with her, and so kind and gentle.  I watch Jason look at her and know I'm going to be the one strong enough to say "no".  I love and treasure the time her and I get to be alone together.

Age - 6 months (October 7th, 2014)
Weight - 17.9 pounds
Wears 6 month clothes with a few 3-6 month clothes still fitting.
Eyes have changed colour.  More green with a bit of blue like me.
Hair (what little there is) still quite dark.
Very active, rolling everywhere.
Grabs and plays with toys ( EVERYTHING goes in her mouth)
Can sit unassisted for a short period of time.
Babbling alot, sometimes so loud we can't hear the TV.
Loves her family and smiles all the time.
Giggles - but mostly for just Bowen and Ashton.
Always sleeps through the night (can't remember when she woke up before 7 am)
Has started eating solids (rice cereal, carrots and bananas so far)

Cadence you are an amazing little girl - Happy 1/2 Birthday!!

Organizing - Part One

So I've decided my home needs some organizing.  We have too much stuff and need better storage solutions.  I thought the first thing to tackle would be our dvds.  We are currently storing all our dvds in storage cases in our TV stand.  We have more videos than would fit in these boxes and had started overflowing into the back of the TV stand, plus some shelves downstairs.

So I recently purchased dvd binders.

I couldn't believe how many dvds we had all over the house.

All of these movies are now housed in these four cases (with a couple more empty ones on hand for when they are needed.

The kid movies are in two of the cases, and adult movies in the other two.  They are now in the cabinet and I moved all boxed sets into the storage cases.  It feels great to have this organized.  Now onto the next project.
