Life is good again. I am so glad that I am working. It feels good to be around friends and co-workers and even my kiddos. I can't imagine being home all day just wallowing in self-pity. I feel better, so thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I've had a number of emails and phone calls from friends/family, which helps the day pass quickly. My cell phone died yesterday, so Jess is thankfully sending me her old one. Hopefully I'll be connected again in a couple of days. Chris is doing okay. He read powerpoints from 7:00-5:30 yesterday, went to the gym and ate. He finally called around 9:00. Again, it ends up to be a day filled with anxiousness as I await his phone call. He sounds good, although convinced that the military life is no longer for us. I am fine with whatever. He just needs a good paying job on the outside!
Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
