she's been fighting a cold this last week, as have i. she LOVES when we suction her nose, as i'm sure all babies do. and by LOVES i mean HATES. hysterical screaming hates. we're getting better at it though, so the sessions are quicker than they used to be. somehow, i don't think she's grateful for our improvements.
she is falling a lot, as i'm sure is common for babies who are pulling up. but she is bruising herself quite a bit, and i get nervous what people are thinking when we go out in public. speaking of public, we have had two of our four classes of the nursery song & sign class at the rec center, and it's so much fun. we're learning new little rhymes and games to play with her, and she loves them. it's so nice to have some little things to do with her throughout the day. next week we start her swimming classes, so we are excited about that.
i'll mention now that i have to go in for surgery on february 6. it's minor, and outpatient. things didn't heal properly after the birth, so back to the OR i go. we're planning to relist the condo a week or two afterwards.
we are running out of room on our computer, so i am not putting many pictures on the computer just now...we are waiting for a new version of the video software we have so that we can move our video files onto a backup drive. once we do that, i'll have more pictures to put up. that will hopefully be in a few weeks.
so here are just a few pictures to enjoy...

Charlie and I have also been under the weather and we have had to suction out his nose a LOT. He was screaming bloody murder at that and even if he saw a tissue in our hands to wipe his nose. He still fights to have his nose wiped, but he has calmed down with the suctioning.
Megan, don't let yourself get worked up about strangers. You will grow thicker skin over time. You will regularly and forever be judged by strangers - trust me. And just wait until Charis starts throwing temper tantrums in the middle of stores! As a former social worker, children's services will not show up at your door without truly justifable reasons. And doctors actually look for bruises in appropriate places as babies begin moving - they would worry if there were none. You've got nothing to worry about - you're a GREAT mom and Charis is moving and behaving just as an eight month old should.
wow....
my all time favorite pic of charis right there with the spoon in her mouth. love it! i want to squeeze her cheeks! i miss you, my baby sister! one day....one day. love, me.
