It's been awhile.

Hello to you all, and I hope your holidays were joyous ones.

So, for the Piper update:
*She has two teeth now
*She enjoys biting fingers
*She shines with unholy glee when she makes me scream
*She is mobile
*She doesn't like our hardwood floors
*She loves dirt, twigs, dust bunnies, strings, bits of plastic, and other such things that accumilate on our floors
*She puts everything in her mouth
*She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth
*She doesn't like her toys
*She likes hair clips and cell phones and cds and keyboards and wires and shoes and medicine bottles and water bottles and socks and earrings and necklaces and headphones...etc.
*She will not crawl on her hands and knees
*She often wll crawl with her elbows and then try to walk on her feet
*At the same time
*She flips over
*She doesn't like being on her back at all
*Changing her and bathing her have become tricky propositions
*She adores her daddy
*When drinking her bottles if her daddy is anywhere around she must look at him
*When she sees him she smiles
*She likes smiling with ehr bottle in her mouth and letting the milk dribble out the corners
*She dislikes bibs with a passion
*She doesn't understand why I won't let her feed herself
*Her nails grow like crazy and she uses them to latch onto things
*She loves to latch onto my arms and neck
*I have bloody welts on my arms and neck a lot these days
*She is fabulous
*She giggles adorably
*She growls at me and then growls again if I growl back
*She is the joy of my life


And in other news, no we haven't been able to find work. We are settling just fine up here. And we don't plan on another child until piper is two and a half, or we can afford it - whichever comes last. It's chilly, but I'm getting used to it and Logan adores it. We plan on visiting California again in about 3 weeks.

I"d love to hear from you all, I'm starved for adult conversation. Actually, for a conversation, rather than talking to myself... :) Love y'all. Drop me a line!
