Still Here!

Ohmygosh, so little time these days for blogging! It is hard to blog in little chunks, a few minutes here a few minutes there, which seems like all I ever have these days. Here’s a few things that have been happening that I’ve been meaning to post about…

• Emma has a top tooth! It came out about a week ago. The second top one is close behind…I’m thinking any day. She has been super drooly today (and, unfortunately perhaps, has learned how to spit, too) so maybe thats a sign?

• In addition to teething heavily, she is sick! Again! The thing I hate most about it (other than seeing her uncomfortable, of course) is having to sleep with her and me propped up precariously on pillows (so she doesn’t get so congested). Well, sleep is a generous term for it, as it is mostly a lot of coughing (her) and attempting to nurse (her), flopping about to try and get comfortable (both of us) and whining/crying (both of us again). Well, I haven’t shed a tear yet but sometimes I’m close.

• She has also almost mastered a wonderful skill we dub “feet first”. She has really almost got it getting off the bed, which is something I have worried about for a long time and will be really glad to stop worrying about. The stairs are still a precarious activity, which involves her jutting her foot out in front of her, then trying to figure out how it is going to get down that step ahead of her hands. She can’t quite remember to turn herself around until she has dwaddled at the edge for quite awhile. And once she is down one stair she thinks she is done and either tries to sit down (which means she would fall backwards if I didn’t catch her) or she climbs right back up to where she started. Silly baby!

• In other news, I finished our taxes. Last night! With a whole 24+ hours to spare! I hate doing them but generally they don’t take that much time, when you get right down to it. But not fun. Especially when you’d rather be blogging. I haven’t been letting myself work on posts until I finished them (the damn taxes), so instead to procrastinate I google endlessly for things like “baby toddler soft climbing blocks” “climbing toddler toys” “indoor/outdoor climbing toys” etc, etc, etc. Or scour the craigslist baby & kids section for miscellaneous goodies. Now that? Much more fun.
