What we've been up to

The reason why I haven't been able to blog much these past, say, seven months is because we've been busy turning this:

into this:

Ok, so to be fair I must say that Don has been busy with that project.  But, I've been busy with this one:

365 Challenge

I take a decent amount of pictures.  Usually at least one per day and sometimes many, many more.  I am going to challenge myself to continue this trend and every so often (because let's face it, i'll never post every day!) blog a favorite picture from that day.

Got the idea when I first started noticing M doing this:

She's a momma bear in training and I couldn't be more proud!

Back..

You know how you see your kid sleeping and think it's the sweetest thing ever.  And, then you see this:

and it's even sweeter?

M has a grill

There have been many signs pointing to the fact that my sweet baby M is turning into a toddler.  First, there is the fact that she is losing her baby fat!  My chunky monkey, rolley polley is thinning out.  Then there is the fact that not only can she crawl, but she is now beginning to stand up, while holding onto furniture.  But, the biggest sign is her sweet grill!  Over the past few months we have gone from this...

Ouch, mom!  This tooth coming in hurts!

... to this!

6 teeth!

M has a big gap in between her two front teeth, which leads me to ask, is that a good thing or a bad thing.  I'm leaning towards good and hoping that there is enough room for her adult teeth to come in.  But, that is hopefully way far down the line! 

Getting into it

As, I try to decide what direction to take my blog, one thing that constantly comes to mind is that I need to update it.  Daily.  So here we are.  And to get everyone up to speed, the past few months have been busy ones.  We bought a house and moved, dressed up M as the most adorable Tiger ever for Halloween, went to Chicago for vacation and to visit Don's family and my little girl is almost a 1 year old!  Here is a picture of her looking too cool for school.  Actually, she was REALLY sick in this picture and was not amused at my attempt to throw an early birthday party for her.
