Cute, Cute, Cute!

This is my niece. Isn't she adorable. She just turned 6 months, actually she is almost 7 months now!

Hanging with the dogs

Climb high! Well, not quite.

JJ's new favorite past time is climbing. He tries to climb everything which is why I told John we can't put the futon next to the ledge of the stairs. JJ could just climb up the futon and over he could go to the bottom of the steps.

Solicitor, solicitor, solicitor, solicitor, solicitor

That is how many we get on a daily basis. At least 5! It is most ridiculous. I finally put our number on the https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx website the other day. We have been offered free water testing, home security estimates, and the rest I have been not answering because most of the time I get that ridiculous pause when I say hello, so I quickly hang up before the computer can tell a human being the phone has been answered. Oh, and there are the phone calls where just a computer talks to you and tells you what they are advertising. "This is for marketing purposes only." Well no kidding. I thought you were calling to make chit chat and become best buds!!!!

JJ has finally taken the plunge and started walking!

The Kirby Guy

So the Kirby guy showed up at our house yesterday at 1pm. He told me they were doing a special Scotch guard treatment on the living room carpet to show us how the carpet cleaner works. WELL, 3 hours or more later they finally left after we repeatedly told them we can't afford a $1900 vaccuum!!!!! But, I did get my couch, bed and floor vaccuumed and some of the brand new carpet shampood (b/c that makes a lot of sense). Please whatever you do, DO NOT let them in your house if you think you want to get anything done that day, otherwise feel free to waste 3 hours of your day.
