TV and Tummy Time

I've been trying to give Lacey some tummy time every day to strengthen her arms and neck. Tonight we set her down on our automan while watching a show and she was so entertained watching the tv that she stayed on her tummy much longer than she usually does. We thought it was pretty cute!!!

Getting ready for Portland

It has been a very busy week in the Stevenson household. We are getting ready to move up to Portland next Friday and so our house is feeling less like a home and more like a storage unit with boxes piling up everywhere. The nice thing about this move (this will be the fourth time that Bryce and I have moved since being married) is that we have had a little bit more time to purge while packing. The youth in our ward are doing a yard sale fundraiser and a canned food drive, so everything that we don't want or use anymore can go to a good cause. Although we have our little one to take care of, I feel like this move hasn't been as hectic as the last three. Maybe it's because we've been anticipating it for the last six months.

I've been blessed to have the help of friends from our ward help me pack up the kitchen - is the kitchen the most daunting part of the house to pack up for anyone else?? With four of us working yesterday, it only took about 2 hours to pack up all of the dishes. Now if I can just finish the pantry today - we'll be doing well.

In between packing boxes, I've been enjoying spending time with our Lacey. She is growing so quickly and it seems like there are new things that she is doing every day. After her bath a few nights ago, she was smiling and talking to us in her own little way. Bryce grabbed his phone and captured the moment in the two videos below...
