where to begin?

It's been so long since I last posted, I'm surprised I was able to sign in! It would be ridiculous to try to catch up so instead, a rambling post of what's going on now.


Work: It's been nice to have a routine again. I like what I do and who I work with. I get to hang out with my BFF all day so that's good. When I returned, the atmosphere in the office as tense to say the least. There was a lot of negative energy. But things are improving. (they couldn't get much worse). I'm happy to have my current schedule of 4 days a week ok'd permanently. Having Monday off to spend with my daughter is great. A chance to recover from the weekend. And get a good jump on household management responsibilities.

Home: Good. Great.

Baby: (the reason anyone is checking this blog) Awesome. I am so in love with 'lil Miss!! She is 7 Months now. I can't believe it. She has 2 teeth and working on more. (she is drooling like crazy) She's started solids. Her personal preferences are different day to day. But she lets you know if you picked the wrong cereal or fruit or veggie side item. She certainly knows what she wants when she wants it. But she's not very consistent so it's often hard to know.

(I'm having difficulties uploading pictures, email me and I'll send you a link to recent albums on snapfish.)

So far we've tried: oats, rice, barley. Applesauce, avacado, sweet potatos, carots, peas, potato-brocolli, and pears.

What she's doing lately: She sits very well. Still hates being on her tummy, although she can roll over onto her back. 'lil Miss LOVES the jumperoo. Bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce... on and on like the energizer bunny. She only stops to crank her head backwards to see what's on the tv. (she is her father's child) She gives open mouth slobbery kisses- which from anyone else's baby is kinda gross. I guess some things really are different when it's your own. It's one of my favorite things.
