Whew!

I'm tired! You're tired! We have been very busy and tackled a lot of new and interesting situations in the past couple days. We have had company and are still on our way to more this next weekend with your Uncle Craig arriving. You also caught a cold, haven't been eating much and have had, to put it mildly, not so fun sleep issues. I'm thrilled your Father got back last night and that this is also the last week of the training away from home. Ultimately though it's felt weird to me it's been nice to have so much going on because that means we are accomplishing lots too. That I AM still capable of that. :) Let's see... 7 teeth, holding steady on weight but slightly taller, lots of crawling still and the standing, getting up and down, cruising is in full swing. You are very pleased that you can seek out the objects you desire, mainly poor Tucker. lol. You chase him all the time and LOVE to use your first word "Kitty" over and over when you see him. You have reached the point of separation anxiety that they "warn about", still it means you are "developing" right on track. When someone you've been interacting with leaves, and it's not until a definitive door click, you break down in tears. You have also started showing frustration when we take something away from you, and a mischievousness when I tell you "No" and pull you away from something, you will get this sneaky, full-of-humor, smile on your face and zip straight at what you were removed from until I can find something that captures and diverts  your attention. I have a great feeling that tonight is going to be a good night. Daddy went out with the boys, you ate dinner actually, are sleeping great so far, I just made myself tea, so I'm going to go crawl into bed alone, read for a bit and then get some good Zzzz's. Night Love.
