5 months, a home, and a ring... ?

I cannot believe she's five months old already. She's getting steadier on her feet in the jumperoo, she pushes herself off of us if she wants to stand or sit (or anything - she has a personality of her own!). The dogs are finally becoming a favorite form of entertainment; she lives to scream/sing/throw toys at them. And while she's still our high-needs princess, it's becoming easier to cope with her behavior and try to work them into our lives so I'm not home bound all of the time. We've officially begun to transition her part-time into her crib in our bedroom (so I can get a solid chunk of sleep a night) in hopes that it'll get her awful sleep schedule on some sort of track since she does not nap. This has sadly been harder due to the fact she & I have been passing a cold back and forth.

In non-baby news, we've been busy! We re-did our entire home loan process since we have officially focused on an area & have put offers in on two houses. Both offers are now sitting as back-ups since the holiday weekend put everything on a wonky schedule and we missed being first in on our favorite home by 45 minutes. FML. The biggest piece of news is that we're officially engaged - how's that for assbackwards? Baby, house, wedding. It's okay though, doing things on par with tradition didn't work out for either one of us the first time around. :)
