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. :)
