I’ve been slacking in the blog posting department again. I guess motherhood and work has been keeping me busy. Actually, that’s not true. Motherhood and knitting has been keeping me busy. But that doesn’t mean there’s been knitting content posted over on the knitting blog either. Sadly. Lately, my internet time has been spent on Facebook and Ravelry.

The AB mommies kept sending me invites to Facebook, so I finally took the plunge and joined. I didn’t realize how many of my friends were there. Within a few days I had over 20 friends and that’s a lot for me. A lot of my cousins are there as well, plus friends I’ve lost touch with for one reason or another. So it has been so much fun reconnecting with everyone. Then my husband joined and he’s totally addicted to the flair. LOL!

Besides Facebook, I’ve been obsessed with Ravelry. And in conjunction with the Summer Olympics in Beijing, we’ve been doing our own knitting version…the First International Ravelympics. It’s been great fun trying to knit as many projects as possible or just one challenging project during the summer games. So lots of knitting and spinning has been going on the past 2 weeks.

Amelia has been keeping me busy. What’s going on with her? A lot. She got her playhouse at the beginning of August. My Father-in-law came up and he and my husband put it together for her. It’s a 6×6 foot playhouse with 3 windows, a door, a 2ft front porch and cedar shingles. Pretty sweet little crib for a 2 year old. So we bought her a play kitchen that looks like Cinderella’s castle and a bunch of accessories for it, so she can cook up some delicious meals for us.

She’s talking to much now, it’s sometimes frustrating trying to figure out what she’s saying. But we’re slowing learning her language. She tries to dress herself and last night managed to put her shoes on all by herself. Of course they were on backwards, but it was adorable.

And the biggest news of late…she’s teething. She’s got the two bottom molars coming in, plus one if not two teeth coming in at the top (neighbors to the front teeth). So she’s been miserable lately. Cranky, clingy, fussy. on top of that she has some sort of cold that keeps her coughing. And the poor thing smashed her fingers in the door at daycare this week. I cringe every time I picture her crying and hurting and I wasn’t there to cuddle her. It hurts me that I wasn’t there when she needed me. Thankfully she has wonderful teachers that cuddled her in my place and rocked her to sleep at nap time. But it’s never the same as mommy. So we’ve been giving her extra cuddles lately as she deals with these mean, painful teeth. I’ll be glad when they finally break through and give her a bit of peace.
