Our Little Explorer

We love, love, love living in a house!!! It is so nice to go from feeling like we had no room at all to having a ton of open space. As we have been getting settled in, I have loved watching Tori explore her new surroundings. I really wish she could tell us what she is thinking, because just observing has been highly entertaining!

The first official mowing of the lawn - Jared did an awesome job!

I came into our room the other day to find Tori standing on a box. I have no idea how she figured out how to get on top of the box- she sure looked proud of herself. Who knew that chapstick could be such a motivator!

Tori thoroughly enjoys having empty boxes around - who needs real toys?

She has also discovered all the great things we keep in cupboards...

and that there is room for her to join them!!!

Tori never really noticed the dishwasher in our apartment. For some reason she loves the dishwasher here!

What a big helper- at least with the unloading part!!!

Tori is fascinated with the fridge. Every time we open it, she comes crawling over as fast as she can. It cracks us up that she attempts to climb right inside. Tori loves to play with, and talk to, the magnets as well!

Tori also loves our back door. It is so fun to be able to look outside whenever she wants- especially to say "hi" to Daddy!!!
