I'm Back

In typical me fashion, I want to detail every moment and after getting behind on a few posts I let the idea of capturing everything keep me from doing what I can.  So here I go, back in the swing and hoping to post back logs as I can.  In the end, having them noted is better than trying to make everything perfect and missing out on these moments.  How do I plan to do a better job of posting you may ask?  By putting my computer in my closet.  For many the closet may sound strange, but with all my shoes and finally my favorite pair of "skinny jeans" back on the rack, this room is probably my favorite room in the house.

Today was a great day.  Nothing replaces the way it feels to have Abney squeal and wiggle with delight when she sees my face.  I love picking her up from school, and quite frankly I love dropping her off.  I may not always love the extra time it takes, the extra traffic I run into, and the extra time in the heat.  But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way it feels when my daughter sees her mommy.  NOTHING in the world is as cool as being Abney's mommy.  I am such a lucky woman.

The little nugget is just over 9 months old now and she is moving like crazy.  Yesterday she stood up all on her own for the first time.  She immediately fell when I screamed in excitement for Ben to look at her, and she still doesn't realize she can do it without assistance.  I anticipate we will have a walker on our hands in a matter of weeks if not days.  Our little girl is growing up way too quickly, and I am loving every minute of it.

She also started getting teeth finally!  She has her first two bottom nubs, and they are slooowly creeping in.  I am not sure why I wanted her to start getting her teeth quite so badly because the mild fevers, mood swings, and general crankiness that comes along with it has me wondering if maybe we can get the rest of these teeth to hold off for a while.  LOL  That sweet little toothless grin is gone, but in its place comes a new smile that will always make me smile back.
