Life is going by so fast now.  I haven't blogged in almost three months! So much has happened, Stella-wise.  She started crawling around Thanksgiving and now she is almost walking full-time!

Blog more later.

TTFN!

Milestones galore!

When I walked into the nursery yesterday, guess who was standing up with a ****-eating grin on her face!  She was so proud of herself! She also pulled herself up onto the hearth yesterday and has been known to hold onto it and walk down the length of it.  She stood in her little bathtub yesterday, holding on to the sides.  She can take her walker back into the laundry room too.  Busy, busy, busy...discovering things that were under her nose the whole time!  In her room yesterday - discovered box of clothes and started pulling them out.  She can drink from a straw in a juice box too!  Holding it all by herself!

My baby cut her first tooth!

Very exciting.  She is almost 9 months old.  No wonder she's been rolling her tongue to the spot for a few days.  I was wondering why she was doing that.  She started crawling big time about a month ago and she is sitting up with no problems.  Loves exercising her lungs too with loud high pitched shreiks!  Very cute!  I just realized that I hadn't mentioned these important things.  Good thing I have this blog cause I don't know where I'd write this down...

Going to the Bridgewater Mall with my baby...

...was fun!  Met a friend for lunch at McCormick & Schmick's - wheeled my baby around in her Snap and Go and went to the jewelers, and finally Gymboree!  Dang those clothes are cute.  But SO expensive!  Still fun to browse and did pick up a few things!  Just can't help it!  Cute little Christmas jammies with matching stocking cap.  Way cute.  Little angel is sleeping right now while we make dinner.  Better eat soon before she gets up!

Red sky at night - sailor's delight!

Beautiful sunset tonight.  Watching it with my baby...The leaves are almost off the trees now so you can see the resevoir pretty well.  It's getting colder out.  Winter is on the horizon.  Tomorrow - I go into work!  I hate being away from my baby.  They tell me that eventually I will want to but for right now - I don't.  TTFN.

Is there anybody...OUT THERE...

Helloo!  Feeling a bit cut off right now.  Elizabeth came to watch the baby today so got alot done. I'm feeling much more "in control"!  Ready for the weekend.  The key is to constantly be doing something, even if it's something small - then, before you know - you get a few little projects done - whew!  Feels good....

Peek-a-boo

A few days ago, without warning, while changing my baby, she grabbed a blanket and put it over her face and in a few seconds she yanked it down...peek-a-boo!  All by herself, I think!  I didn't really focus on teaching that to her.  Someone may have taught her but it wasn't me!
