I know, I know. Isn't it funny that the last time I posted (over a month ago?) I had actually set up another blog? Ah well, all I can say is that life is busy. I've only got approximately 3 more months until classes end, and I swear, it seems worse than pregnancy at this point. Yes, I'm very ready for school to be over so that I can reclaim my evenings and free time for play rather than reading and work. I am torn, however, just because I do really enjoy my classes this semester; I'm getting totally into social responsibility - it's hard not to want to make my work more meaningful to ensure a healthy future for my daughter. I'm trying my hardest to parlay my studies into something better at Dreyer's, to try to affect my company for the good, and hopefully it will work. Baby steps, for me and Audrey alike! So here's an update on the litte one... no actual steps yet, but she's been crawling so much her little knees are like strawberries. She's having a blast, though. She's actually pretty well balanced, holding onto the coffee table and sitting up on her knees. Sometimes she can push up onto her feet...ack! Still seems too soon to be walking, but I know it won't be long.
She's got one little tooth bud popping through, and it hasn't seemed to cause her too much discomfort. It's hard to tell if it's teeth or her ears - she's actually had infected ears for about 6 weeks now! The pediatrician finally recommended we see an ear, nose and throat specialist, after four rounds of different antibiotics. Lucky for us, she's still in pretty good spirits, I think she's just a tough girl because it's been hard for us to even diagnose her ears being infected, since she's just a pretty happy easy going baby.
We got our 9 month pictures taken the other day, here is an assortment (they've got the watermark from Picture People, but you can get the jist)
So as you can see, her tounge is a fun toy to play with! She's been all babbly lately too. I'm getting more and more convinced that she says "mamamama" around me and "dadadada" around Cory, but maybe I'm just dreaming. She's sure been a lot of fun lately, and I'm really looking forward to the weather getting nicer and taking her to the zoo and out hiking and stuff this summer. Hope all is well with all my pals across the country...a HUGE HUG to little Oliver who's having heart surgery this week --- we are all thinking of you here in Cali and know you'll pull through!!
