Quick Catch Up -

So I've been spending all my blogging time lately over at Clipped Blog, and neglecting all the blogs that will actually be precious to someone one day, but that's ok. I just made an epically long and repetitive post on Lilah's baby book blog and I won't rehash it all here except to say that my tiny baby has doubled her birth weight in six months and is 27 1/4 inches long. She has two bottom teeth coming through and is still just a happy little joy. I actually see her learn something new every day, and I am so amazed by that I can't even describe it. Like today - we were outside and I wanted to wear her so I could water the garden. As I was putting her in the carrier, I pointed out a butterfly to her. She watched that butterfly like she was keeping her eyes on a treasure. At one point, the butterfly disappeared behind the hydrangea it was flitting near, and she leaned waaaaaay back to try and find it again. At first I thouht, "What the heck! It's just a butterfly." Then I realized: She has never ever seen one before. Ever. It was ACTUALLY amazing to her, this little paperthin white creature, dancing around the hydrangea bush and into the sky. I nearly burst into tears at the thought of how pure a moment it was.

I've had a personal up this week in finding that some of my pre-pregnancy pants are fitting again. I guess thank heaven for stomach bugs. LOL I also seem to have gotten the better of the Thrush we battled, because I haven't felt yeasty in a week or so. I think it helps that Lilah has slept more and more lately, leaving me less opportunity to make a nice, warm, milky home for all that yeast while I sleep. Actually, the past two nights she's slept amazingly well. I suppose you could officially say it was her first times "sleeping through the night." Monday night she slept from 7:00 - 6:30 and last night she slept from 6:30 - 5:30. We'll see if the trend continues or if it's just a fluke. You would think I would be getting a ton of rest because of that, but actually I wake up religiously at 4:00am having to pee so bad I can't stand it and then I can't fall back to sleep very easily because I'm so engorged that I have to lay on my back. LOL Good times.

Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I've still got MANY things left on my to-do list and about an hour in which to get them done. Such is my life with a blogging addiction!
