Quibby-Mama: Its a new year!

(A bird! I couldnt get either of them to look at me because both were looking for a bird)

So now its 2012 and our minds are FILLED with New Years Resolutions!
Here are a few (just to humor you):
1. Learn Spanish (by Mike, so far he is doing well/Rosetta Stone)
2. Learn to play the guitar (by Mike, also doing well, practices everyday)
3. Stay within our budget, no savings! (its Jan. 15th and not looking good)
4. Get a new floor (in living room, wood, next friday!)
5. Stay within $350 a month on groceries AND eat healthily (yeah...)
6. Buy local as much as possible (started this last year)
7. Be positive
8. Keep the house clean
9. Organize all spaces that are a mess (so far we did the kitchen, laundry, my closet, shed, we have Mikes closet, Sage's closet left)
10. Sage will start sleeping 12 straight hours through the night (he is now down to 1-2 times waking)
11. Take away Ness's pacifier (ugghh)
12. Convert Ness's bed to toddler bed (double uggh)
13. Get Ness potty trained at night (not sure how this will go)
14. Read the bible every night (well it hasnt been a TOTAL bust)
15. Can I stop?

So yeah, we have been busy. Mike got me a Roomba for Christmas that is AWESOME! He cleans up almost every night, I am amazed at how much garbage he picks up, what is even more amazing is that used to be on our floor ALL the time, gross!

This little cute is now 9.5 months old. He is a total sweet heart (and look at that adorable face) but he is a stubborn little lad. And is not an "easy baby" like his big brother was. But, 9 months later, its getting better! He now has four teeth (which caused lots of pain)
