6 Months and Phase Three is Complete

It's so hard to believe that our Lil Bit is 6 months old!!! Where does the time go? She is such a little trooper and a ham and is just happy to be with her people. She really wants to get moving, but Mama is not ready for her to do that just yet. She did not enjoy Phase 3Alpha of our move either. She did NOT like the plane ride. Boo did really good on the plane, but did not want to get off the first plane and I literally had to push him down the aisle and off the plane. Ugh. Yuck. No fun. We were late getting to Charlotte and so we missed our flight to SC and of course our bags didn't arrive with us either. But, we were happy to see BeBe and PawPaw at the airport and after piecing together carseats from the airline's loaner closet, we made it home and in bed by 11 pm.

Phase 3Bravo also got off to a rough start. B-man went to drop off his truck to be shipped and the parking brake wouldn't hold. So, he had to go get new brakes. He called me at the hotel to tell me this and I just kept waiting for him to say, "I'm joking!" but he never did. This was definitely not in our plan or timeline. But, we made it to the auto mechanic and back in time for our flight out of Dallas. B-man had to drop us off in the middle of a hail storm (no complaining here about that as it could have been a lot worse...these tornadoes are crazy scary).  After dropping us off, he got his truck squared away at the shipping facility and headed out towards SC. He made great time and arrived in SC Tuesday night. Whew. Phase three complete.


We're settling here and trying to catch up on rest. Boo hasn't had a nap in over a week and has been up late every day. It's finally catching up with him. So, he's napping upstairs as I type (hopefully). We've seen the grands, aunts and cousins and have been enjoying time with them.

Here are lil Bit's pics. Oh yeah, she had her 6 month check up before leaving TX. She weighs 18lbs 15 oz and is 26 3/4 inches tall (95th and 88th percentiles, respectively).







Peas have been purchased and may be consumed later today. Stay tuned!

Sounds like b-man's prediction was right! Definitely hostile territory for both alpha and bravo! Glad everyone has made it safely and definitely glad you missed those tornados and hail!!

What a big girl! I just love those thighs- I wish I could squish them- and those two little teeth. Glad to hear you all made it safely, but what a trip. Could it have been any crazier?!

Love the pics! She is adorable and so happy! Hope the rest of the moves goes smoother. Enjoy your family time!

Man, you all deserve an award for your efforts getting out of TX! Maybe that's why no one there ever leaves... haha I am always impressed with TX devotion!

Enjoy SC and getting to settle with your family. How blessed that you all have a haven there. And rest up for the final phase to AK! SO excited for you. God bless. ;)
