Well...

I think she's about 10 months now, but this isn't really an official update. Just wanted to report that she was rejected by the local talent agency for representation. I guess she's not cute enough for them. No matter...when she's on television and making movies, that agency will come calling, and I'll remind them of the rejection e-mail (don't you just love technology) that they sent saying that they won't be taking her.

Other than that, dealing with an ear infection, but she's just as happy and talkative as ever! Gotta love a happy baby that has fun no matter what!

9 Months, and all is well!

For our 9 months celebration, I took the Peanut and two of my nieces to the beach. It was absolutely wonderful! I would love to move to some remote location one day with the baby, leaving happy and free...

Oh, yeah, right...this blog is about the 9 month old that I have now. It's amazing ow much she's doing now. She's standing on her own, trying to snap her fingers when she dances, it's crazy! I can't believe that in a few months, she will be a year old. I just sit here and watch her clap her hands when she hears music, and when she sees something she likes. Like right now, we're watching Wall-E, and she is so amazed by the people on the screen. She does this with Harry Potter as well...mostly when Hagrid is on the screen. I guess all of that fur makes him look like a big teddy bear.

Well, I guess that's just about it for now. I'm just waiting on the little one to pass out and go to sleep.


WOO HOO!!

8 Months, and climbing...

As I speak, I am watching my daughter climb up the stairs. Of course I'm not just letting her do this alone...my niece is close behind her. You cannot stop progress. She has to learn how to climb those things, and apparently, she is way ahead of schedule. According to the Parent.com web site, climbing doesn't start until after 12 months or more. My child is advanced, I tell ya!

Anyway, we're at the 8 month mark, and I think she is still simply amazing. She is now knee crawling, and quickly. She moves so fast across the floor, one minute you have her right in front of you, the next, she's across the hall. Now we're just waiting on her to take her first steps. I can't wait! Well, may be I can. I'm not ready to run around the house, chasing after her, right now. I'm trying to work up the strength to do that now, and she's just crawling.

Well, we took our first road trip this past weekend to Chattanooga to visit some friends, and we had a ball. I enjoyed my little pumpkin, and I can't wait for many other trips to come. For now, I'm going to go and try to braid my hair, and then go to bed. I am TIRED! Good night all!

7 Months, and...

Really quick update:

* We're 7 months old now
* We're getting around pretty well
* We have two bottom teeth coming in
* We're able to pull up and stand up, with some assistance of holding onto something

Basically, she's mama's big girl, and still cute as ever! That's about it. I'll report more later. She'll probably try to take some steps within the next few weeks. Only if her legs get in sync with the rest of her body. Later people!

6 Months and Growing!

Well, people, we have made it to the halfway mark. My little Peanut is now 6 months old! Can you believe it? I can't! She's already trying to pull up, crawl, she's rolling, sounding out "words", it's amazing! I cannot believe that she has grown so much over the last 6 months, and she's still growing. I swear I thought I saw her grow an inch before my eyes last night while she was stretching. That's how fast she's growing. And man, is she heavy! I mean this kid is a big girl! But she's just so darn cute. Got to love the cuteness!

Well, I just wanted to post a short update on the cuteness that is the Peanut. Enjoy!

Okay, so we're still a little icky pooh!

So the Peanut and I are still a little under the weather, but better than before...sorry, just checked the scoreboard for the U of M game, and Memphis is up, for now, 80 to 68...anyway, back to us! Now we both have ear infections and fluid behind our ears. Apparently we are mirroring each other...I have the fluid in my right ear, her's the left. But she's not showing signs of being irritated, just as happy...with the exception of this afternoon when I was speaking with my mom. I could hear her in the background "screaming" for my mom. It was one of those "What do you think you're doing, not paying attention to me!" screams, and 'm not used to that...what the heck, MSN, why did you take the point away? Crazy computer! Anyway, we're both without a fever, so that's good. I'm still running on fumes here, tired as ever. I probably got about 24-26 hours of sleep last week, which is not nearly enough for a 7 day period.

Other than that, we're doing pretty well. I guess I'll go now...Memphis won, 81-70. Now I hope the Peanut and I will feel better.

We've been a little under the weather...

As I stated in my last blog, I had a cold, which turned into a freezer! Well, I was sick for a while, and it got kind of bad. To the point where I had a 102.6 degree temp. Wasn't feeling too great, and I still had to go to work on my birthday! By the way, happy belated birthday to me! I'm now 31, wow! I never thought I would be 31 and with a baby, but I am. And I am still love it...snotty nose and all. Yeah, we had our first bout with the sniffles this week. Actually, I wouldn't call it the sniffles because her nose was so full of snot, it was like pulling out a bucket of slime from that old show "You Can't Do That On Television". It was LOVELY! I swear, I nicknamed her Slimer because it was just so much of it. She laughed, so no worries. She also had a little ear infection, which no one would have known she had because she was being such a happy little girl. Well, she was happy until we started messing with her nose and feeding her pepto-bismol-like medicine. Goodness, I have never smelled such medicine-filled body fluids in my life! Good thing she's getting better. I couldn't handle cranky peanut for too long, and she couldn't handle mama being mean and giving her the pink stuff. But we got to bond over all of this...her sneezing in my face, me having to deal with it.

Anyway, I think that's about it for now. I am trying to figure out what, if anything, have I forgotten to do for the day. I've checked my calendars, completed all of my forms that I need to mail out, I just know that there is something else I need to do. I'll figure it out soon, I hope.
