Progress towards Independency

Amelia started two new things this week:

1) Truly crawling. She can really go. She doesn't crawl just to crawl - there must be a purpose (a book, toy in the crib, my computer on the floor, something). Once she starts crawling to explore, we're toast.

2) Babbling words. Or, more like babbling one word - the most important word - DA-DA-DA-DA-DA. Pretty much anything boils down to da-da-da-da-da. Ask her to say Ma-Ma, and she says Da-Da. (haha!)

Videos of both to be posted shortly.

Talk about Growth!!

"Since 2000, the county has issued more than 35,000 building permits for apartments, townhouses and single-family homes. During that period, the county has added 100,000 residents, increasing its population by 59 percent, according to a University of Virginia study released last month."

That's where we live and work, btw.  :)

TOOTH!!

Yes, you read correctly. After 8+ months of waiting, lil' Mia has finally broken a tooth. Of course, it had to come one day after Grandma and Aunt Abby left!!

Here's a crude picture, but you can barely see it coming through (with a little help from Photoshop)....

We had a great time with Grandma and Aunt Abby. Two of the best pictures!!



And of course, some fun on the sofa with Daddy!

(I'm very ticklish on my neck!)

Starched

I noticed a rather odd phrase in the cleaning directions for my boxer shorts.

"Warm iron"

Now, I don't know about you, but [FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!] if someone wants his boxers ironed, I think he has a bit more to worry about than getting his undergarments pressed.
