New picture of us (11/25/10)
My cousin Quint took this picture of us on Thanksgiving. Isn't he great?
Have you missed us?
Sorry we haven't been around much lately. Melanie is going through a little separation anxiety and it's difficult to get our daily routine accomplished, let alone the extras like blogging. And having a wriggly baby that wants (and usually gets) to grab everything that's in a 3 foot radius of her and put it in her mouth is a little dangerous for keyboards and laptops.
But am I complaining? No sir. Sure everything takes a little bit longer to do, but I'm soaking in all this "Mommy is my universe" time that I can. One day, I know I'll miss all this neediness.
Melanie is also thisssss close to crawling. She's now going from the sitting to crawling position, but instead of moving her knees forward, the slides down on the floor in what Gramie calls the "flying nun" position - lying on her belly with her arms and legs lifted up in the air.
We also have 2 teeth, and have begun experimenting with chewable, soft adult food. She's had pumpkin pie, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, ice cream, pasta sauce, bread, carrots, chocolate, cookies, and whatever else Gramie or Grandma have sneaked in when I wasn't looking. :)

We're moving and a shaking!
Melanie is a HUGE wiggle worm! She's sitting up very straight, rolling back and forth, and it looks like she's going to be crawling very soon. The cats are a huge incentive for her - they always seem to be just out of reach.
It's a little heartbreaking though, because she's not as much of a cuddler as she used to be. Instead of resting on my shoulder, she's twisting her top half 180 degrees and watching the world. Right now everything is fascinating and belongs in her mouth!

Another Day, Another Tooth
Melanie is now debuting her second tooth - the front bottom twin. We're giving her tylenol every night now, which I'll admit I'm becoming dependent on... is it possible to have your child develop and addiction or immunity to childrens tylenol?
Betsy recommended we give Melanie a big stick of carrot to chomp down on to help teething. We didn't have any in the house, so I gave Melanie a celery stalk instead. Oh she loved that! Just chomping away and enjoying the celery pulp. The only problem is, her belly didn't like it at all a couple hours later. So we'll have to invest in some carrots for Melanie.
