Big Weekend
Posted Mar 10, 2008
The baby has been crawling and saying mama & dada for almost a month now. And Saturday she added a new trick - she pulled up! She'll be cruising before we know it. While she crawls, she sometimes extends her legs and tries to push up to her feet and ends up doing a bear crawl. She's motivated. She's been cranky the last few days and isn't usually so I checked her mouth yesterday and she finally has a nubbin of a tooth through her bottom gums. She's been trying to get teeth since August, so she'll probably have a whole mouthful by next week.
We bought tools and lumber Saturday for our raised garden bed in the backyard. Got it framed up & partially filled yesterday. Mr. Emee is going to check with a local sod company to see what their prices are for the rest of the dirt. Peanut had a great time using a cup to scoop dirt and put it in the garden even though she didn't really want to get dirty. She's a bit of a priss. I need to find her little shovel & rake that I got last year. Next we need to rake up the back yard and set up a compst bin. It's a mess - lots of twigs and small branches from the ice storms and high winds, lots of crunchy leaves - too many leaves to just let them sit on the ground. We need to re-seed under the tree and pull out the dead shrubs in the front yard. I love spring.

Bonus
Posted Feb 28, 2008
Mr. Emee and I are both getting a bonus this year. 
Now the key will be to save most of it and not get lured into spending it on items that would be nice, but that we don't really need - new digital camera, new computer, new sewing machine, etc. New shoes aren't out of the question though...

Naughty Word
Posted Feb 27, 2008
Had the phone call I've half expected for a while but still dreaded. Grandma is in the ER in Wichita, KS - possible heart attack and she's 80. Grandpa left her in the ER by herself and went to his stress test appointment. Takes weeks to get one. But really, what better place to have a heart attack than a cardiology specialty hospital?

Gah!

Give me an office with a door! Now! Please! 
A co-worker is humming. I don't know if she's listening to headphones or what but she's humming. And it's mostly tuneless. And really irritating. And I have my ear buds in and can't turn up the volume further without risking my hearing. And I can still hear her. Gah!

Baby Update
Posted Feb 14, 2008
She's almost 9 months old. Crawls backwards - can't quite manage forward yet. Says 'dadadada' all the time. Said 'mama' once. Laughs when you kiss her cheek. Signs for milk and more. Loves Cheerios. Likes to pull Peanut's hair. Fusses when she has to put her clothes back on. Wants to play with Peanut's baby dolls.
