Stalling

Back in the day I said something about not being able to find my camera, which is why I haven't really posted. I found it, not terribly long after, but was just lazy for a while. Today, I thought, shoot! Let me upload some cute pictures! And now I don't know where my usb cord is to download the pictures. Oops. Buuut I'll look. Maybe I'll find some time to upload them on Monday, when my hubby is home from work.

I don't have any photographic evidence yet, but baby is starting to crawl! Watch out apartment, we won't know what hit us... so far, she really only crawls a couple inches before forgetting what she needs to move next and falling over, but she did figure out that if she's on her hands and knees, she can sort of back up until she's sitting up. Cool trick, baby girl!

Other fun news: my parents are up for the weekend. Literally just the weekend; my dad doesn't get time off, so they drove up today and are leaving Monday morning (after breakfast). Fortunately we got to have dinner with them tonight, as they made excellent time. At first baby was a little serious and standoffish, but luckily she warmed up quickly and was very smiley! Yay baby girl!

So, remember when I used to let my baby cry it out? Well... umm... I don't really do that any more. Occasionally during nap times, and if I know she's so super tired that she'll fall right to sleep. Anyway, last night was not a good night. I'll often get up a time or two, feed her for a few minutes, and she'll go right back to sleep. I'm okay with that. Last night, though, she did not want to be put down, so in frustration I let her cry for a little while until I was calm enough to deal with her some more. By then... she was super awake. Sigh. And she'd gotten up twice before that. At least the night before was pretty good! We have good nights and not-so-good nights. Unfortunately, last night was not one of the good ones. Fortunately, she's been a pretty awesome baby today.

Also. Penzeys spices. Mmm. I wish they would come to Utah. I have no idea how my sister found out about them, as they were buried somewhere in the outskirts of Portland, but I recently found out they are in Beaverton, way easy to get to (from my old home). So I got some hand-delivered goods today! I am so excited. The cocoa smells like a chocolate bar, the cinnamon is a dream. I got some extracts, too... yummy. I think, if they came to Utah, I would get all my herbs and everything from them. I would order them online, except that I dislike shipping fees so much. If my parents didn't come up this weekend, though, I might have caved because I almost ran out of the cinnamon I had before, and I just can't go back.

For not having pictures, this turned into a really long post. That said...

The end.
