Tessa 9 months

We had Tessa's 9 month doctors appointment on Tuesday. She weighs 18 lbs 4 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. She has really learned a lot lately. She is now trying to feed herself finger foods, crawling every where, pulling up on everything and even getting brave enough to let go and stand by herself for a few minutes. I was so glad when I was told that she did not need any shots this time because she is all caught up with them.
We have all been staying pretty busy with Chad working long hours in Rexburg and trying to keep up with the current and new homes.
Our current home has been on the market for about three weeks now and we finally have had two showings this week. No news yet on if any of them have decided to make an offer or not but at least it is a step in the right direction.
Love to all.

Inner walls and Trusses

The house is really coming along. The guys have gotten most of the inner walls done and all of the trusses put up today. The more that gets done the more I get excited. I took some pictures yesterday of the inner walls and some today of the outside. Hope you all enjoy.
This is a picture of the garage looking into the house.This one is a picture of Paxton standing in his new room.Here is what my layout of the living room, kitchen, and dinning room looks like.Here is that first truss going up.It was so cool watching them set trusses. They hook five trusses on at a time so that they are all evenly space.Here is a look with most of the trusses set.

New Pictures

The house is coming along great. The guys framing the house are friends of ours and they are working hard.
Here is a picture of the frame work along the outer basement walls.This one is of the floor joists for the upstairs floor.And of course I had to get a picture of Chad walking along the joistsPaxton and Tom last night went for a small ride on the backhoe through the field.

Update

Sorry that it has been so long since the last update. Not much has been going on at the new house. The excavator got all of the backfill done and the concrete guys just finished the basement floors today. Yea!!! Our framers will be starting tomorrow at 6:30am and I think will work until about 5pm but I am not sure on that. Sorry I don't have any new pictures but as the framing starts to go up I will be sure to post them.
Tessa is really growing like a weed. She has started to crawl, walk by holding my fingers, feed her self, pull her self to standing. Boy, I really can't tell you all how big she is starting to get. We go to the doctor next week. I weighed Tessa at a friends house the other day and she weighed 19.2 lbs.
Paxton is just loving life and loves to be with his sister. He is just as excited as Chad and I are to be building a new house. He tells everyone that he knows that he is building a house.
Hope all is well with everyone.

The walls

Yesterday the concrete people put in the forms for the walls and filled them with concrete. It is pretty neat how they do it. They use a big pump truck that is in the pictures to fill the forms, so it only takes them one day to make the walls. Today they were going to remove the forms and then will be back next week to pour the floors. Our plumber will be out probable tomorrow to put in the plumbing that needs done before the floors are poured and the excavator will be out also to do all of the back fill. Here are a few pictures of the pump truck and the guys filling the forms. I will post more pictures after the forms are removed. Love to all.
