Where has April gone?

Hello friends!  Sorry for the delay of posting...where have the last three weeks gone!  Well a lot has happened.  First, we started Nell Bell on rice cereal.  She wasn't that into it.  Sometimes she would eat it and sometimes reject it all together.  I tried oatmeal after a week and she hated that.  The last week and half we she has been sick with a cold (that she got from me :(  and hasn't been eating at all.  I am a little worried because her six month check up is on Monday and I know I have to start foods but Nellie is not loving it!  I can't wait to see how much she weighs and where she is on the growth chart.  She has been in the %25 for weight and %50 for height since she was born BUT I think she has passed that, she's huge!!!
"Uh...this bland poo is not that great."  
"I prefer my Mama!"
At first, we tried to feed her in her bumbo seat but she was leaning too far forward, so we busted out the high chair.  This way we could lean her back some.  Doesn't she looks so small in that thing!!!???
Another little baby at a party we went to.  Aren't they precious!!??
Here's some of Nellie's recent outfits.  (hey don't judge me for posting these, she's a cute baby!)  



Easter pics! Unfortunately is was cold and rainy on Easter so we didn't get to go outside and take cute pics.  So here is Nellie on our bed sitting in a basket.  
Chillin' with her duck and new stuffed animals from Great Grandma.  
I just thought this was funny face.
Family pic.  Took several times with the camera on a timer to get Nellie to look at the camera with us.  
In other big news...we bought this house!!!  It all happened very quickly and inspections aren't until next week, so it won't feel like mine until after that.  I looked at about 12 houses and then narrowed it down and took Cody on April 16th to see them.  Tax season ended on the 15th (obviously) so Cody had the next day off.  YEAH for tax season being over!!  Anyway, we loved this one and it was in our price range and about 2 minutes from Cody's office.  They also gave us a $3000 window allowance to put in the energy efficient windows.  
I love the hardwood floors.  




This is the room we will have to do some work on.  We need to update the wood paneling and fireplace.  But the rooms have all new carpet so that can stay.  I am so excited to start decorating and since it's three bedroom if you come visit us, you will get your own room!  Closing is May 29th!
