About 2 1/2 months ago our dishwasher broke. So I put in the work order to the management company right away..no one wants to be without a dishwasher. I thought it would take a few days, maybe 2 weeks tops to get a new one. It is now the middle of Feb. and I finally got our new one today! Yay! At first I thought that being without one wouldn't be so bad. Really a dishwasher is a luxury not a nessecity. But not having one got really old really fast.I was tired of my kitchen ALWAYS looking like this


So I was so excited about getting the new one today. It is now here and I have two problems with it. It is loud. Like way loud. And it is white! White! Really!? Everything else is black! It's used..which I'm totally fine with but they couldn't have given us a black one so it would match? Really?! We can't be too picky though since we didn't have to pay for it but the whole situation is annoying. I figure we only run it at night and we will be upstairs so the noise won't be too bad, and I'm just gonna have to be creative about covering it up or something so it isn't such and eye sore.

Olivia Update
Olivia is such a good sleeper. Example: Last night she went to bed at 9 and didn't wake up till 8 this morning. Sometimes she gets up a little earlier than that but 6 is the earliest. She's been doing this since she was about 2 1/2 months! Yay! This past week we tried something new. After her last bottle we put her in her crib..still awake. I give her her binky, her teddy bear, turn on her music and then I leave. I can hear her talking and kicking around for about 10min and then she is out. It has been really nice that she can put herself to sleep. Honestly I don't mind holding her until she falls asleep,duh, but I also don't want it to be a must. The only complaint I have about her sleeping habits is that she does this





All of the time! She was just laying on this blanket and she reached up and pulled it over her head! She likes to have her face covered. If there is no blanket like when she is in her crib, she will use her bear or her arm. Funny girl. But it worries me that she can't breath. So after I know she is really asleep I have to go and move the blanket or her bear off of her face. When she gets older I bet she will want one of those eye covers..princess :) So she is doing great! She is such a happy baby and we love her oh so much!

our rental we just got out of had no dishwasher! we were there for over a year, It was a long time without a dishwasher, now loving putting dirty dishes behind a closed door that will clean them themselves!!
Olivia is doing what Stratt did up until about 2 weeks ago. he does not cover his face anymore, but he now sleeps on his tummy, and we halfto go in there to turn him to his back! so look forward to that!

sorry about your dishwasher woes :( you will be so so so glad you let Olivia put herself to sleep. My kids are such good sleepers. When our family is together everyone's kids are up in the night and I am sleeping all night long! That's funny she covers her face, cute girl!
