Wordless Wednesday (new laptop!)

SO busy

Today we had a lot going on. I purchased a Toshiba laptop, hopefully it will be ready to pick up tomorrow. They're doing something with it (I don't know all the details) that will take until tomorrow and then I'll finally have a working computer.

Lillian has been great since her teething pain has gone. She's such a happy baby and makes me smile all day. Even when she's being a stinker I can't help but laugh about her big personality. She's doing this funny thing lately where she wraps her arms around our necks and squeezes while she tries to "kiss" your face off. It's more of a shove-your-face-in-her-mouth type of kiss, but we love it.

Today we went to a 31 party open house and managed to buy some Christmas presents! Can't believe we're already Christmas shopping, but with a baby it's better to do what you can when you can. While the weather is nice and there's no flu going around, we're going to do as much as possible!

We are REALLY looking forward to our trip to DC in a few weeks. I'm especially looking forward to meeting all the other kids with PWS and their amazing parents. Lillian's going to be in the daycare with the other babies and I can't wait to see how much fun she has. But I'll also admit that I wish I could keep her with me during the seminar. We'll have to sneak off to see her during lunch.

Anyone have any suggestions for sight seeing in DC? Anything we absolutely should not miss? I'm all for suggestions!

Crashed

My computer crashed.  Not really planning on blogging from my cell phone, so hopefully I'll find a reasonably priced replacement tomorrow. 

The good news is, I had time to finish Lillian's 1st year baby book!

And in case you were wondering, I did end up going back to the special needs room yesterday at our church.  It was a much easier day than last week.

Birthday Invites and More

Finally a day to catch up!  So far the invites are almost finished.  I used shipping labels to print out the wording which goes on the back of the card. I thought they were clear labels, but obviously I was wrong...

How cute is this little fishbowl I found on clipart?

This is what it looks like on the back of the card

And the front (still not completely finished)

Today Lillian slept until 9:30 this morning!  After she woke up, had some breakfast and played for a bit, she went back to sleep around noon for 2 more hours.  It was amazing.  I even had time to make some of these fall colored hair clips for her and some to sell at a store here in town. If I have time I'll add some to Etsy this week... maybe.

Things I don't want to forget

The day I fell in love with your eyelids.  Sometimes I pull you out of your crib so I can hold you while you sleep and see this same face, just a little bit older each time.

The funny noise you make when you click your tongue.  And how you get a big grin when we immitate you.

When you learned to clap, you clapped at everything and everyone.  For a week straight everything ended with clapping. 

When you pick up something new, you scratch it with your thumb and finger. Before putting it in your mouth.

You will do anything to get to a piece of paper or a pair of glasses. You crawled forward for the first time for these items (yesterday).

You would rather look at the person playing with you than the toy they are trying to get you to play with.  It makes for interesting therapy sessions.  All the therapist love you for this, though it makes their job that much harder.

When we're having a bad day I take you to the pet store and you try to touch the fish through the tank glass.  You laugh at them when they swim to your hand.

You laugh at the dog over anything. absolutely anything.
