We are waiting on the final details on closing for our new home. I have terrible sciatic nerve pain that is holding me up on everything from exercise to housework. I even tried acupuncture to get some relief (it was a great experience). I'm far behind on my current book To Say Nothing of the Dog. I'm IN LOVE with the tv show New Girl. Those last two are directly related. Work is pouring in, and I desperately need to go to the grocery store, but uuuuuuugh. The grocery store?
We are enjoying summer for all that it's worth. Sunshine and swimming and coffee on the patio is what it's worth.
Eleanor...
- is buzzing with excitement about VBS this week.
- MUST be a part of every conversation.
- is becoming an accomplished eaves dropper. She astounds us when she repeats entire conversations.
- loves loves LOVES make believe and pretend, especially make believe fighting, and of course, the damsel in distress.
- wants an iPhone for her 6th birthday.
Eve...
- crawls and walks around supported by furniture or whatever she can find. She's even stood on her own for a few seconds before plopping down on her fluffy, diapered bum.
- loves to eat. And, don't you dare put something in your mouth around her without also having something tasty to share. Forget those baby rice puffs.
- is happiest being carried around on someone's hip, but is also content to rummage through low-sitting boxes, bins, and tubs, or to stalk her big sister.
- is serious about what consumption, and is currently the most hydrated member of the household.
- 6 days until she's 11-months-old, and still no teeth. I'm not complaining.
- Long naps? Elusive.
- has only been waking once at night. Let's keep it up, baby girl!
