Finally a few minutes for an update!

As you can see we have been incredibly busy over the last few weeks. We have not even had time to update the blog. So many new things going on I am not sure where to start. Brie is doing well and is becoming quite an independent little girl. She will finally play with her toys by herself. She loves to read books and will bring them to you one after the other to read. We probably read about 20 in a day. She is talking a little more and has added baby and Brie-Brie to her list of words.
Memorial day weekend we spent in Wildwood, NJ. Brie had a wonderful time. She enjoyed running on the beach and getting sand everywhere. At first she was afraid of the water, but once she put her feet in there was no stopping her. She kept running back in faster then we could take her out. The water was freezing! She wanted to go in further then just her feet but it was definitely too cold for that. She was very angry when we took her away from the water and screamed the entire way back to the hotel.
Later in the weekend Brie got her first chance to wade in the kiddie pool at the hotel. The weather was beautiful for the trip. The pool was of course freezing, but she loved it. It was a packed weekend and Brie did pretty well. She fussed a little at restaurants and ate pretty poorly, but that is our normal.
Since coming home from vacation we are now the proud owners of a home. On Tuesday we made the long trip to Muncy and spent alot of our savings and the bank's money on a house. Now the work really begins. This weekend we are heading back to buy paint, tear out walls, and clean before we start the moving process. The house is over 100 years old and needs some work, but will be nice once we get it finished. We are slowly going to do the work with the help of family and friends.
All throughout vacation, Brie slept very poorly. We hoped it was just being in a new place and sleeping in her pack-n-play, but no such luck. She slept well Monday and Tuesday night, but Wednesday she started with a cold. She is very congested, coughing and has a slight fever. Today she was pretty miserable and spent most of her time sitting with me or sleeping on my chest. She is eating very poorly and has only had about 9 oz of formula today so far. She did have some pedialyte and some juice to keep herself hydrated. Hopefully she will take some more formula in a little bit. She is sleeping peacefully right now and kept pushing the bottle away. I think in addition to the cold she is getting two more teeth. I can see another one of her bottom teeth poking through. At least it is all at once and maybe soon we will get some sleep.
