Where to begin

Arg. I have not updated this blog in months. Unless you are one of little C's grandmamas, you have probably stopped looking to see if I have updated it. So here we are. I'm gonna TRY to make a couple of posts a few days in a row to catch up on what's new.

June was a rough month around here, hence the lack of blog updating. The advent of June brought us two baby teeth, a week of VBS and C missing her morning nap four days running, and learning to sit up in the crib. It brought us all these things, which, as you mamas out there know, means it brought us sleep deprivation too. Major schedule upsets and the discovery that sitting and playing (or just sitting and crying) were way more fun than just laying down and going to sleep at night lead to lots of rough nights. We are thankful that stage did pass.

During late June and early July, our house was abuzz with company. C's Nana came for five days and then Peaches and Aunt Allison dropped by for a visit. Here are a few pics from their visits. C got crawling down really well during Nana's visit and within a day or two, she was unstoppable. In fact, we had a lot of trouble getting good pics with Nana, because all she wanted to do was go, go, go! Um, yes, we have lots of baby gates now.

Sorry, C, just one bathtime picture, please?

Just before C's first ever trip to the pool! She loved it!

I think they are discussing the deeper things in life.

I should certainly do better with my blog updates, but there's a little info for those of you who are actually still reading this. Many other crazy things have been going on, but I think one update a day is all I have in me. (Or maybe one update every two months is all I have in me.) The dishes beckon. The dishes always beckon.
