Finally Feeling Settled

We've lived in our house for a little over a month now and we are finally feeling like we are settled. We're getting more projects done around the house and we're finally getting into a routine. I love it!!

Makayla is now 8 months old and it seems like every day she is changing. She crawls all over the house now and likes to explore. She loves to eat carpet... don't so much love that she does that. I have had to fish little carpet fibers out of her mouth on more than one occasion. And we are very excited to announce that Makayla is now sleeping through the night!!!

I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but Tyler's new job is with DMC Mining services as one of their mining engineer consultants. I would try to explain what he does at his job, but honestly the stuff he tells me about is so complicated, that I don't really get it. Basically a mining company will call him when they need help with a project and he will quote it, design it, and see it through. He seems to be liking it, and I love that he only has a 20 minute commute to work instead of 45!

I am working part time (kinda... it's more like 3/4) at Oquirrh Hills Middle School in Riverton. This year I am teaching 8th and 9th grade English. I really like the school and I love not working full time. I like that I get up every morning to get ready, and I get out of the house, but I am still home enough to play with Makayla and not feel like I am letting someone else raise my kid.

I feel like I didn't take a lot of pictures this month, but here's a few highlights from September...

Makayla and Daddy playing the piano. This was the cutest thing. She would pound on the keys, and then turn to look at us for approval.

 We have a lot of pictures of bath time this month. Makayla loves her bath!

 The other thing this little girl can't live without is her blankie. It has to be one with satin edges. She loves to find the corner and suck on it like it's a binkie.

 The other funny thing about Makayla is that she never cries when she wakes up from her nap. I usually have to keep checking on her to make sure she is still asleep. It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but we went to check on her after a nap one day and she was just sitting in her crib sucking on her blankie with her little foot sticking out of the crib.

 Makayla also got to ride a horse the last time we went to The Land. I think she liked it!
