Thursday Rambles

Our lives have been a bit boring so to speak since Josh has left.  We've been trying to settle into a new normal and some days that just means staying home in our pjs and relaxing.

We have been getting out and seeing friends.  We've gone swimming in one of our friends pools and have been running errands around town.

Mara has become ever increasingly mobile.  She has been scooting around on her bottom using a combination of her legs and arms to push herself.  Just yesterday she learned to crawl while we were skyping with Josh.  It was the sweetest things.  He was just the encouragement she needed to finally get moving forward.

She has also been testing her voice lately and we frequently have screaming matches in the house.  She isn't shy about showing her displeasure and lets me know if she's unhappy with me.

She's also been getting more of an appetite.  She will regularly eat anywhere from 3 to 4 ounces of food at both lunch and dinner.  She still isn't interested in eating in the mornings but that's ok.  Maybe she's like her daddy in that regard.

She loves her toys and is constantly dumping her toy basket to discover what's inside.  Buddy is also one of her favorite things and she loves pulling his fur out  petting him.  She loves talking to Josh on skype and I'm so happy that we've been able to do this almost everyday.

Next week we have a few things on the agenda but it looks like it'll be a bit slow.  Although I love staying home I get a bit stir crazy if its been too long.

I think that's about it...hahaha our lives lately have been a bit slow but hopefully we'll develop a bit of a routine in the next few weeks and have some more exciting things to talk about :)
