miridearie is crawling (well, kinda)!!!! She crawls about 2 steps, then reaches for something with both hands and falls on her face. I think she'd rather be walking. Yesterday, she started pulling herself up to standing. She can stand unsupported for a second or two before she falls down. Should we start the pool on when she'll take her first steps? ;)

It's springtime again. I'm starting to come out of my annual hibernation. I'm trying to regain flexibility and get back to tumbling. Today in the gym I did a back flip, something I haven't done in almost two years. I'm insanely proud of myself. :D

On the other hand, I'm a little brain dead. We had our annual recital at the gym today. It's ( Read more... )

Every once in a while people really start to bother me. It seems people forget a basic lesson which we all learned in middle school language arts class: subject pronouns are used in the subject of the sentence and object pronouns are used in the predicate.

*sigh* My daughter is going to grow up seriously warped.

ashtalet!! Have a good one.

miridearie used to be such a good sleeper. She slept in her co-sleeper peacefully through the night from the time she was about 3 months old. After she learned to roll to her tummy, she started waking up around 2:30 in the morning. Now she won't sleep in her bed at all. She's very happy to sleep in my bed, but I sleep very lightly with her up against me ( Read more... )

I did a back walkover for the first time in fourteen months. I feel like me again.

Happy Birthday quadrivium!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day! :-)

I just played my first song for miridearie. Ok, it was only "Old McDonald's Farm", but it's about her speed and mine. She loved it. It's definitely a step in the right direction for me.
