The Burt's: February 2009

That we never post anymore.
So many things are going on and without a computer and Internet plus with a 3 month old it seems impossible to keep everyone updated. But I will make a better effort.

Nick and I found a basement apartment and will be moving to Sandy (83rd and about 11th east)the beginning of April. We are so excited to have a 2 bedroom home for cheap; I'm just excited to get that thing called sleep! The couple renting it is an older couple going on a mission. So they are renting the basement out for super cheap and it's a 2 living room 3 bedroom little place. We told them to use one of the rooms for storage because we only need 2. The kitchen is not really a kitchen. I mean there is a stove, sink and microwave but we have a buy a fridge. It is so tiny, which is the main thing I've complained about in our home now but this kitchen is even smaller here. I'll learn to manage.

There is a nice backyard with a swing set and tons of little toddler toys so its just perfect for Neacel and I this summer. The couple is leaving a few things there for us too; a big screen tv and a large sectional couch, movie night and game nights at our place!!! Plus I think they are leaving workout equipment and a few other little things here and there. The couple moving in upstairs are newlyweds, LDS and have a baby about Neacel's age. We haven't met them yet and I'm completely nervous, but I think its going to work out just fine.

Neacel is growing up and becoming so much fun! The past few nights he will wake up and kinda cry so I will try and feed him and he doesn't want it. So I lay back down and then I hear him blowing raspberries and talking to himself. He is constantly blowing raspberries and talking now, we will hear him do this constantly and we think it's hilarious. So far 3 months old is my favorite age for him. Today was the first day that he laughed without me tickling him. I was simply making faces and sounds and he thought it was hilarious! Of course, I'm so proud of him for laughing without me tickling him!

He is trying to roll over and sit up now, still can't do either but is trying really hard. He is such a happy baby and getting huge I might add. I went to a Pampered Chef party last week and my friend hadn't seen him for over a month. When she saw him she said that he had seriously doubled in size! He is getting huge and I'm guessing about 16+ lbs but I really don't know. With us moving he will have his own room, new pediatrician and a backyard to play in. He and I are planning on spending our summer outdoors doing everything we can. The zoo, Wheeler Farm, Temple Square, Gardner Village, parks and of course swimming! I don't want to waste a single minute. Time is flying buy!

Lately, Ive been feeling a little stir crazy. I need to find something to do while I sit at home and take care of things. I want to find something to make money doing but that I still enjoy. Nick found a website, http://www.etsy.com/, and I want to start making something and selling it on there but can't think of anything that others haven't thought of yet. I want to do something for little boys because after having one I've realized that they are just neglected. Girls have bows, skirts, tons of dress up things, jewelry etc. Boys have nothing! We have come up with a few items but I'm not sold on the ideas yet! Those of you who have little boys what's something you want to find for them? Something unique, Nick said personalized capes, bedroom signs, an army play mat... I've hit a brick wall and can't seem to climb over it! I need ideas that are completely unique and easy to make, even boy and girl stuff would be nice.
