She's trying to put everything in her mouth already. She started trying a couple of weeks ago, but her success rate has gone way up recently (as shown). Most often it's her hand, her index finger, a bib, or a burp cloth.





Opposite the study is the dining room.

The short hall past the dining room leads to the guest room.
On the opposite end of the hall from the guest bath is the entry to the master suite.
Master bedroomThe whirlpool tub. Not pictured is the second vanity (opposite the one shown), shower, powder room, and master closet. I'm so excited to have all of my clothes and shoes in one closet!
Out of the master suite and to the left is the living room.
Definitely the heart of the house. I can't wait to use that counter space and a kitchen sink with good water pressure!

The entry from the garage is around the corner, and there is a built-in desk. Opposite the desk is a good-sized storage closet, perfect for holding your purse, bags, etc. when you come in the house.
As you go down the hall past the kitchen, you pass the stairs, and on your left is a bedroom. This will probably be another guest room for now, but in a few years could be good for Kid #2.
Closet and bathroom in guest room #2.
Across the hall is the utility room. On the other wall, there is room for an extra refrigerator or deep freeze, and there is a countertop perfect for folding laundry.
The bedroom at the end of the hall will be Claire's room - already painted a shade of green that matches her crib bedding.
This will be Claire's bathroom - it's very girly with the pink walls, crystal knobs, and white tile with floral accents.
Upstairs and to the left is the craft room. The yellow linoleum will be replaced at some point.
Through the doorway is a small media room with a wet bar.

There is also a full bathroom upstairs. Back downstairs and past the breakfast room is the patio. The door on the other side is to the master bedroom.
One of the best things about this house is the big backyard.

In the back corner is a sport court - this will be great for Claire when she starts learning to ride a tricycle or for chalk drawings.
Then from the yard is the back of the house!
This concludes the tour. :) We are scheduled to close mid-August and move in right before Labor Day weekend. It's going to be an adjustment going from our tiny, 1950's ranch house to a big new house, but we are so blessed to have found a house that we envision raising a family in that was in a good neighborhood, in our price range, and close to Robert's office. We're looking forward to sharing this place with our close friends and family. Like we promised, there is plenty of room for visitors!
Sorry it's been so long since I've given an update (or what you all really check for - new pictures of Claire!). Things have been quickly progressing on our move. We went down to SA to house hunt last week and now have an official contract on a new house! We are so excited. It's a beautiful house with an amazing backyard, and it's definitely built for a family - with plenty of room for guests! The current owners just built it two years ago and are having to relocate to Dallas due to the AT&T move. Unlike most of the other two story houses we saw, this one has all of the bedrooms on the first floor which is so great with small children. The upstairs has a large gameroom and two smaller spaces that could be for crafts or a small media room, along with two huge closets and a full bathroom. The gameroom/playroom will be perfect for Claire when she gets bigger...and Robert is already researching pool tables. I'll add more pictures after the inspection - I'll try to take lots while we're there.
She (finally) began taking naps in her crib. We figured out that if we swaddle her (thanks for the tip, Lindsay!), she'll sleep so good that sometimes we have to wake her up to eat. As of today, she's also learning how to hold her bottle. So cute!
