I know I have totally slacked on writing these blogs...blame it on Facebook. Wow - has the last post been in Feb??? Well alot has happened in the past few months ... some have tried my strength - but mostly all good stuff.
Shaelynn has grown some much in the last few months. So far she is really one of the best babies. Sometimes I look at her and think I must have done something good to have been entrusted with such a great little person. She is usually happy and smiling at everyone and everything. But she has been teething for some time now and gets unhappy when her mouth is really bothering her.
Now that the weather has gotten warmer, we have done some of her firsts: first trip to the zoo - she loves the penguins; first trip to the park - the large geese fascinate her along with the seagulls; first bare feet in the grass - the look on her face said it all; first party - she was the center of attention; first festival - she enjoyed Living Traditions dancers.
She has become more vocal as the days go on. Her favorite thing is to stick her tongue out and make a sounds to go with it. She likes to copy as well so we spend many days just babbling at each other. She is learning to clap so patty cake has become one of her favorite things to do. And she wants to try everything everyone eats ... sometimes she stares at you while you are eating and slowly her mouth goes open and her head moves slightly toward you - the look is like a starving child. With a look like that how could I not let her try? She does like her veggies especially sweet potatoes and corn. However, she does like refried beans, guacamole, and sherbert. Oh and today she tried lo mein and really liked that as well.
Now Liana is excited to be done with 7th grade and is especially happy that she doesn't have to perform in band anymore. However my dear one has become ambitious for next year and decided to take Spanish and Chinese ... I am excited to learn the Chinese along with her. This summer she will finally get to see where her mom grew up and went to school. She will also have a chance to meet family she has never met before. And to top it all off, she will get to play tourist in NYC. Yes after 20 yrs I am finally going home for 2 weeks and taking the girls with me to see everyone. Needless to say my soon to be 13 year old has many plans of where to go and what to see.
And last but not least, I am almost done with this economics class and then I move on to an accounting class ... talk about torturing me!!!! And since I didn't think I was busy enough with school, work, family, and house hunting, I have been helping to organize my HS class first reunion of sorts. It's been 20 years or more since I graduated and there has not been a reunion organized ever. So I am helping to put one together as alot of people from my class still live in NY or NJ (close enough). I am excited and nervous as it is all happening at once.
Well this is a small summary of what's been happening the last few months. And one last thing ... Shaelynn loves watching Real with me - thank goodness for channel 2.2 - Go Real!!!
