Laughing & Crawling

mya just turned 8 months and to comemmorate the occasion, she decided to crawl. she has been scooting around for the past couple of weeks, but hadn't really been able to do anything more than a good old army crawl; however, she has worked beyond and is beginning to do a leap frog type action with a few true crawls thrown in. it is quite fun to see her mobile, although it has made life a bit more challenging too. we have to pay a bit more attention to what is on the floor. otherwise, she continues to be a delight each and every day. she still has just two teeth, eats nearly everything and anything, but wants nothing more than to have or do what her big sister is having or doing. claire is the only one who can make her laugh for 5 minutes straight. no lie. she is totally smitten. i am trying to savor each and every moment, but find myself looking ahead to the great times that they will have together. mya has officially transitioned into her own bed and is doing pretty well. we made that move when we returned from our christmas trip. she hardly cries when we lay her down and she wakes once or twice for feedings. we are introducing the sippy cup, but she is still in the mode where she thinks it works like a bottle. we've been battling a diaper rash for nearly a month now, which is so odd as claire hardly had any. i finally have a concoction that i am hoping will work as we could have purchased stock in diaper rash ointment, we have so many. sad to say that NONE have worked.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
