My little girl will no longer be a baby soon. In less than 3 months I will have a toddler. She is growing up so fast. This weekend we went shopping for clothes and it was sort of sad when I realized we were shopping in the toddler section instead of the baby section. She just about fits into 12 month clothes, so we buy those to make them last longer. We did get her some adorable outfits, jean shorts and shirts that are just darling. I will have to get some pictures of her sporting her new attire and post it to the web.
Her great-aunt sent her a bathing suit and we have yet to try it on her. I wanted to do that this weekend, but we didn’t get a chance. I have to get off my butt and get out there and clean her pools out. They are gross and filthy from sitting outside all the time.
This weekend, I’ll be in Atlanta. I know DH isn’t going to get out there and clean her pool, so she won’t be going swimming till maybe the weekend after. I am making it a goal of mine that if we don’t have any other plans I will clean out her pool and let her go swimming that weekend.

I cooked fish for the first time a few nights ago. I never had before because I didn’t know how and was afraid. Lame, I know. But while my in-laws were here, MIL cooked some Tilapia and explained how she normally cooks it.
So I tried it the other night. I pan fried it in a little bit of olive oil after seasoning it with lemon juice and Old Bay Seasoning. It was so good, I ate two whole fillets and that’s a lot for me. I was so proud of myself. It was delicious. And now I’m not afraid anymore, so I’ll be able to add fish to our collection of dinner dishes. Next time I need to learn to fry some catfish.

I’m finally reading it: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Woohoo! My collection is in paperback, so I don’t purchase the hardback version. I’ve been somewhat patiently waiting for my co-worker to finish reading it (she pre-ordered it) so I could borrow it and read it. She finished it this weekend and has handed it over. Hurray, hurray!

Amelia was clapping this morning! All by herself! I’ve been trying to get her to clap for a while now and she finally did it. I’m so excited! It’s so cute!

I’ve to move all the knitting, crochet, quilting content over to a new site located at: http://wifetalks.com/knits. I haven’t migrated over the comments but hopefully will be able to get that done this weekend with a little bit of sql coding. Cross your fingers. There actually isn’t a lot of comments :(, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Once those are transfered over, I will begin work on this site (the personal blog). It will get a redesign and all of the knit-related content will be removed. For now, the content still exists, but it will be hidden from your view.
Please change your bookmarks to the new knitting site if that is what you came here for.

I’m contemplating pulling out my knitting content and making it into a separate blog again. I did that back when I first started knitting, and soon my regular blog wasn’t being updated as often because I was posting so much knit content.
When my knitting died off, I combined the two since I wasn’t posting much of anything at all. Now that I’m posting more knitting, I think it should be out on its own. The only thing is that I’m not posting as much non-knitting content anymore. So I think it would require a revamp of my main “blog” to be more of an “update” site (what’s been going on with my family, or whatever) rather than a blog.
That would require more time and effort to redo the site. Just not sure I have that much time, but I do feel that the knitting content should be separate, especially if ravelry members will be visiting looking for knitting content.
Still trying to figure out the best solution.

My little munchkin is 9 months old today. Wow! I can’t believe that in 3 more months I will have a toddler! She gets cuter every day. She gets smarter every day and more adorable. I love her to bits. She is my life and I can’t imagine how I lived before her.
She pulls up and stands on her own now. She loves to use her daddy as a jungle gym and will climb over him endlessly. She knows her paci and will reach for it in the middle of the night. She loves to give me kisses and her giggles fill my heart with so much love.
Having a daughter is such a blessing and I’m eternally grateful that God gave me such a wonderful little girl. She can definitely be a handful, especially when she wants to be held constantly or when she is so tired but refusing to go to sleep. But the little moments when she smiles up at me or when she reaches out for me or when she gives me a big hug first thing in the morning make up for the fuss and crankiness. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mommy loves you, Amelia.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about Amelia. She’s growing like a normal 8 month old. She is pulling herself up now like a pro and stands on her own as well. It won’t be long before she starts walking.
She has yet to say mama, but is saying dada and baba all the time. 
She’s finally come around to the puffs and now gets her juice and snack with the rest of the kids in her class at daycare.
Saturday we were playing and she would crawl up to me, pull herself up and give me a big kiss and say muah while doing it. It was the cutest thing. Of course then she proceeded to spit up in my eye! Gross! But I guess that comes with the territory. She seems to get cuter and cuter every day. But maybe it’s just me. 
She definitely reaches for me when she’s being held by someone else.
We had a great 4th of July and she did so great. She was held and played with by so many people and she was even up way past her bedtime, but she hardly fussed at all. As long as she knew I was there she was fine.
