So we started construction on the new store in Northport this past week. It is exciting to finally be starting this since we've been waiting a year and it's been a long haul since we tore down the old building. I am excited to have Idella around for all of this and think it's great that we're going to be able to take all kinds of pictures of her around the new store. It's ironic because my parents tore down their original business in Brooks and re-built the existing store shortly after I was born. There are tons of pictures of me in peoples arms during the construction process, and even more of me inside the building while everyone was stocking shelves and building counters.
We went down to visit Jacob at the site a few days ago and took Idellas first construction site pictures. I am sure there will be many more to come!We also got Idella a walker and even though her feet don't quite reach the floor she loves sitting in it. She swings and kicks her feet like crazy and I know that the minute her feet hit the ground I'm in trouble. It's hilarious when she hits the rattle ball how excited she gets, she starts to kick her legs and her eyes get so big.
Idella also has another favorite thing to do; she has learned how to lean over and out of her bumbo like she is trying to escape. We can't leave her unattended for 2 seconds, crazy child. This is a picture of her trying to get out and help put away groceries at grammies house. She's so cute some days I can't even stand it!
I can't believe how much she is growing up. It crazy they tug on your heart so much, we can't wait to see the next stage but want to cry when we look back at their first pictures. She is adorable, I love her pink dress.
