Da Da Da Da

Claire is saying Da-da of course, but talking up a storm, I wonder where she gets that from?  Everything is Da-da and occassionally I do get a Ma-Ma.  More often that not it's when she's fussing or crying, she has gotten a bit attached to me lately.

She turned 8 months yesterday (Saturday) and I can't believe how quickly time has flown by.  She is walking very well with her walking toy and around the ottoman or along the sofa, she LOVES putting anything and everything in her mouth, still very addicted to eating her shoes or my shoes or just shoes.

We experienced her first "pick up from school sick" which resulted in a doctor visit and conjuntivitis.  Little peanut was not into the cleaning of her eyes or her nose.  She spent the day with Gran Nan (Cindy) on Friday and we are so thankful that it worked out that way.  Neither Nana nor Mamere had the Friday off and usually one of them does.

I'm sick now with an upper respiratory infection.  YAY. I'm on a ton of meds so hopefully they'll kick in soon. Whether I work from home tomorrow or go into the office is still up in the air.  Regardless, Claire is headed to day care.

She has recently learned how to say "Ta-Ta" which for us southerners means "NO, give it to me." So when you say "Ta-Ta, Mama"  she hands you whatever it is she is holding and says Ta-Ta.  She also says bye bye, which I'll post and "Tigah's"  she's a little genius I tell ya.

So blessed to be her Mom, best gift in the entire world.  Truly God's most precious gift.

On a side note a close friend of mine is finally pregnant and I'm just so thrilled.  It's still hush hush but I'm keeping her and her husband in my prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy baby!  Can't wait.  Can't wait for Corie LeBLanc Howell to have those twins and excited to meet Henry Kremke, which I'm yet to do. Need to make a trip to Houston soon.  I miss my Micheller.

Gave up Facebook for Lent a little early this year and so far it's been great.  I'm enjoying the time, I'm yet to pick up a book and read in it's place but still I'm getting there.

Work is work but thankfully I'm super busy and the day goes by very quickly.  No matter what, I'm always looking forward to the weekends, especially those that I get to spend with Carey.  :)
