More cousins!!!

Welcome Wesley sjodahl king! My little sister delivered him at 5am this morning.

What a cutie. All these newborns are making me realize how much S has grown.

Lowering the crib

S didn't want to do an afternoon nap today. We were running around ptown earlier and she ended up sleeping in the car at 2p messing up our afternoon schedule. Nonetheless, I put her in her crib to see if she'd fall asleep. We heard some talking, kicking, little whining, talking some more. I decided she wasn't going to slept and went in to get her. To my surprise, she was standing up.

Nooo! She's mastered the back roll over to front to sit up to stand.

Needless to say, we lowered the crib a notch...

Sunday evening

Just a little frontline before bedtime

Crawling

First off, this past week has been very busy since it was finals time for me.  Thank goodness our wonderful neighbor Kristin was able to watch S for me while I knocked out an exam, final paper, and a couple of job applications.

So...with 3rd term out of the way (I only have one class left and my capstone, what the what?!), I tried to capture S on film.  Unfortunately she was not super happy when I finally pulled out the camera.  But here are a few videos anyway:

She prefers to walk

I can't believe S is creeping up on 9 months. I also can't believe that I'm still breastfeeding.  I've been trying to cut it down to only 2-3 times a day and she takes a bottle really well.  

We have had such great Spring weather lately.  I can't wait until it stays that way!  I really want to pick up a pair of colored jeans.  Love AG's Stevie jeans, who wouldn't want one in purple, red or green??  But, I'm really trying to keep my shopping to a minimum...until I start working...

S' latest sounds:

Serious Mommy Attachment

It all started a few weeks ago.  S' top teeth were coming in and she was more grumpy than usual.  She only wanted to breastfeed.  No bottle.  She wanted to be snuggled.  Goodbye nap in the crib.

Then she got sick.  I couldn't hand her off to anyone, even Mikes, without a big fit.  And man oh man, that girl can scream.  Her baby tears are instant.

Although she's recovered from the flu (or whatever it was), she still wants to be held only by mommy.  It's starting to drive me insane. She'll still play on her own (if I'm sitting on the floor next to her), but ultimately she grabs for me.

Sat night we tried to go out to eat with friends and it was a disaster.  I don't think we'll take her out to eat again until she's 2.

good thing she's so cute...
