Webmaster

I'd like to offer the position of webmaster to anyone who has a problem with the fact that I don't (or can't) update the blog everyday. In case you missed it, I'm now a mom and the days when I had hours of free time to post my daily rants and photos are long gone. Alas, I hope that you can patiently wait amidst the sparse postings for the excitement that lies ahead.

We have a baby genius. Since my last posting of almost a month ago, Gabrielle has done the impossible - and this isn't the exaggeration of a proud mama. No, our baby girl is standing. She is no longer content with sitting - which she did for only a few days anyhow - but now, she must stand. We pop her up against ottomans or chairs, or sofas, and she stands. For times, up to 10 minutes if there is something exciting to look at. I'm afraid that in a few short weeks she will be walking. For those keeping score - she is only just over 4 months old.

Secondly, the month of August brought about a change in her eating habits. No longer satisfied with just sitting (or standing) there while the rest of us eat, she wants to join in. Not being on solid foods yet poses a bit of a problem, but there is the boob-food which we could entertain her curiosity with. So now, she drinks from a cup. I was told by a brilliant Montessori consultant that at around 6 months I could start to introduce an open cup, rather than a sippy cup, to teach Gabrielle to drink...again, she jumped the gun on this one and is doing that at only 4 months.

Help!

Some photos attached...as proof of her accomplishments.

And today, I finally got my hair cut!
