\"\"<\/a>Happy eight months to baby Eve! And boy is she
\n ever happy. She has a bit of a cold, but that’s not slowing her
\n down. We did a night of sleep training Wednesday night (after
\n my cranky post) and she woke up Thursday morning with a cold.
\n Unrelated, but I felt bad for her and I figured we were done
\n with the sleep training until she was well again. However, she
\n seems to have decided that her bed is the place to be and we’ve
\n had a few great nights now. Hopefully it lasts when her cold
\n goes away. She loves rolling around on the floor, practicing
\n crawling moves, and, most of all, her mommy!! :) Can’t
\n complain, but I think Alan would like some baby love too. She’s
\n also got the throw up largely under control. The other day we
\n made it until 5pm with one bib! Some days I even get daring
\n (crazy?) and put no bib on her for awhile. Wild woman,
\n huh?!?<\/p>\n

We’ve started decorating for
\n Christmas and I think we’ll get a tree tomorrow. I’ve been
\n debating about whether it’s too early, but I got all of the
\n stuff out for it (tree stuff is all mixed in with other
\n decorations) so the sooner we get the tree up, the sooner I can
\n put all the boxes away :) Probably should look at a better
\n storage\/organization system some day. \"\"<\/a>Lex and I made an advent calendar and he’s
\n pretty excited about it. Last night we had all of the circles
\n (ornaments) on the floor and he was handing them to me, in
\n order, so I could tape them on the door. During the process I
\n learned two important things: 1) He can count pretty high (I’ve
\n heard him get to 50) but he doesn’t recognize number well above
\n 10. So we were talking about what “teens” means and “twenties”
\n and when they were all up he spent awhile looking at the
\n numbers and counting them. And 2) he swears all by himself! I
\n said “Lex, what comes after 18?” and he said “19!… Oh shit,
\n where’s 19?” I kid you not!! There it was, clear as day.
\n Luckily he was facing away from me and didn’t see my reaction
\n of shock and suppressed giggling. I don’t swear much and
\n certainly don’t use that word often, so he wasn’t parroting, he
\n just said it, in perfect context, all on his own.
\n Wheee!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We had a nice visit with Grandpa and Grandma
\n today. They brought bagels and a gingerbread man cookie. Lex
\n loved the cookie and Eve was very eager to try it. I gave her a
\n teething biscuit instead, but for some reason it wasn’t the
\n same…. maybe if it frosting on it…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two more hours until
\n dear hubby comes home to take the kids and I’m off with some
\n friends for dinner and belly dancing show. Sounds like fun,
\n right? The woman doing the show also teaches belly dancing
\n classes and I thought that sounded like a blast. I hear the
\n show is great. For now I’m off to enforce “mommy quiet time”
\n for another half hour. Looses some of the relaxation aspect
\n when it needs enforcing, but oh well. Better than nothing. And
\n remember…. life is good!<\/p>\n

Happy
\n December!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
