After realizing that it's been way too long since I've posted, I decided to get on my mom's Mac and try to come up with something to blog about. It's not that my life's so dull that that there's nothing going on...quite the opposite. I've been too busy to even charge my camera battery, let alone document all of the momentous things that are happening every day. And believe me- there are momentous things. Like Maddie perfecting her speed crawl, pulling herself up on EVERYTHING, and refusing her afternoon nap. Who refuses an afternoon nap? And me making it to work on time after trying to have every detail taken care of for whoever's babysitting, along with my six meals a day I'm supposed to be eating. (Work's going great, by the way. I love working in the ER). And JD managing to stay up on all the latest BYU football news while working his buns off at the office (and in the gym:). It's a miracle that we have any energy left at all to do the fun stuff. But of course we manage to fit it in. A lot of it. We've been hanging out with friends and family all summer long. I keep having to remind myself that summer's never really over in California. There're plenty of beach days left for us. Jealous? Come visit us. We miss you. Maddison loves seeing these two buddies almost as much as I love seeing their moms. I hope their moms don't care that I cartoonized them.
Here's Nanette. She's got a birthday coming up on the 27th. She's pretty smart. This is what she did when I asked her how old she was gonna be. We got to see her tonight and she is just too cute. Maddie envies her lovely locks.
Here's Savannah. She eats constantly, and particularly loves eating sand, dirt clods, chips, and anything she can get her hands on. And Maddie still weighs more than her. She just had a birthday and sleeps in til her mom wakes her up at noon.
I just realized that these girls have some same nicknames: Nanners, Nanna, Nannerpus. Wow this post is random.
p.s. Don't go see "Love Happens," the new Jennifer Aniston movie. It was brutal. I thought it was never going to end.
Our baby has grown up so much this last month. She's turning into a big girl in so many ways. She's crawling, standing up on everything, eating real food, clapping, waving bye bye, signing "more," crying for mamama in the mornings, sleeping 11 hours at night, trying to sing and dance along with music, and getting into the stranger danger stage. She's been sick all weekend and it's so sad, but it's felt good to do nothing but cuddle her. I hope she gets over it soon so we can get some sleep again!
