Sleep. I love my sleep. I loved my sleep before children and even moreso now that I am deprived. However, we've been at my parents' house for 4 days now and I think I have gotten more sleep in those 4 days than I have in the past 3 years. All thanks to my awesome parents. Love them. Mya is sleeping in the one bedroom, while Claire and I are sleeping in another. My Mom has been grabbing Mya when she wakes in the morning. Claire and I have been sleeping in anywhere from 8 to sometimes 9 each day. I even have had a nap each day. It is heavenly. I feel pretty refreshed, although I have a lot on my mind. No word on the job yet, which I was expecting, but I am somewhat impatient. I've made my list of things to do if I should get the job and we decide to move to Korea. All in all, I am pretty prepared or at least as much as I can be being so far away from MA. Just wish I could snap my fingers and find out if I got the job, gather all my stuff from work, say the sucky good-byes, complete the paperwork, take the necessary pictures of our high priced items and get this ball rolling. Oh well. I suppose less time to truly stress is better. In more positive news, I will be with Chris in less than two weeks. I am getting very excited and the best part is that he actually has planned some things for us to do. He isn't revealing much, but any planned activities will be fine with me.
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....
