Well, I've been M.I.A. lately. Frankly, I just didn't feel like I had much to say.
I've been focusing in on the those ideas I listed a while back on my "personal constitution" and just maintaining a semi sense of sanity at our house. I feel like I keep waiting and waiting to get into a really regular routine with Adam and Kate, but alas...our life just isn't built for that. We like to take on spur of the moment visitors and attend events at the last possible moment. It's fun and it keeps us on our toes, but it sure doesn't lend itself to regularity. Those people that claim, "I always do grocery shopping on Tuesdays at 3:45pm" or "Sunday afternoons are when I clean my house" How?! How, I wonder do you manage to always be there at the same time every week! I'm equal parts envious and grateful that I don't feel the need for such rigid structure in my life. Sometimes I'm kicking myself that I (yet again) didn't get out from under that pile of laundry that I say I'm going to do that evening, but I love watching Adam play volleyball on a Wednesday or spending the day with family on Sunday afternoon. It can be stressful, but at the same time I'm so glad to be able to teach Kate to go with the flow...
I have a 7 month old now. At this point, she's practically closer to 8 months. Here are the highlights:
Likes:
Trying to clap her hands
Successfully waving "hi"
Exploring new foods and tastes
Playing with the handles on our coffee table
Chewing on nylon straps...and since all baby gear has safety straps nowadays this happens a lot
Dislikes:
Being unable to crawl easily...or go from lying down to sitting
Having anything taken away from her
That's about it...she's a pretty happy girl :)
