- We have a crawler. Yep, Tula is making her way around a room now all by herself. We really have to start watching where she's headed! She greeted me in her crib after nap time sitting up. Time to lower the crib - again.
- I still need to go through each child's bedroom and pack up the outgrown and out of season clothing. It stays warm here for so long, you never know when you're going to need shorts.
- Our receptionist retired, which leaves Frank to hire someone new, but he's choosing to do so in the Spring. I love filling the gaps here & there and working at the office, but it gets frustrating when you have a baby on a very good schedule and then you mess with that. Baby napping in a sling is not my preferred method.
- And on that note... I have never co-slept with this baby. That makes me a little sad, but a lot happy. In some respects I love to peek at a sleeping baby in the middle of the night and listen to them breathing next to me and smelling that baby sweetness, but I'm sleeping in a king sized bed all by myself and it is BLISS! I can stretch out, use a full length body pillow and get good sleep without a baby attached to my breast. This baby sleeps so well in her crib in her room, so I have yet to have a reason to co-sleep, but believe me when I say, if at any point it gets me MORE sleep, I won't hesitate. I'm waking up one time per night now, maybe twice if she's teething. The other night she slept from 8pm to 6:30am, nursed for 8 minutes or so and went back to sleep until 8:30am. Now that's what I'm talking about!
- I have been getting out with the girls (adult girls - not to be mistaken for daughter girls) and it feels amazing!!! *chorus of angels* Ahh, there is nothing like having a glass of wine or a margarita with the girls over good conversation and good food. Having a 7 month old on a predictable schedule and two fairly self-sufficient older kids affords me the pleasure. Now I just need some babysitters so that I can get some Frankie time too!
- I am so pleased with Christian's school. We had our first parent/teacher conference a couple weeks ago and got an excellent report from Mrs. S. Yea Christian! Christian is reading, writing his letters very very very nicely, writing sentences, counting by two's, five's, ten's, illustrating bible stories and a whole load of other cool things. Some of this stuff he's been doing for a while, but now he's perfected his skills!
- I joined facebook the other day and feel so cool that I have 125 friends in my network. I'm having a BLAST on that thing, being in touch with so many people from so many aspects of my life, but really...it's been interesting keeping up with....mmm... no, more like spying on my younger cousins away at college. I'm justifying my time spent there as a special kind of community service to my family.
- My son is a pack-rat and my husband is the opposite of a pack-rat. I'm remembering that my son has a project due tomorrow and I'm pretty positive Frank threw it away. Grrr.
(ten minutes later)
- I'm actually now ready to dump a cold bucket of ice cubes on Frank in his sleep. I found that when he was going through my "rubble pile" the other day that he disposed of some pretty important stuff. Now who's a garbage picker? OMG - I could scream!
- This cat of ours, Miles, he is a litterbox snob and will not poop where he's already pooped. It might be goodbye kitty soon. We did have him neutered, but now he's infected our healthy cats with his virus and now they all have runny eyes and runny noses. Ugh.
- Oh, one more thought... today my poor Tula tipped over in her swing twice! I'm not sure if my kids were the culprit, or she's just getting too heavy for it. Either way, I'm retiring the swing for another day... maybe for my brother....or some friends....or whatever.
Sweet dreams!
