Updates

It's been way too long since I've updated. I was trying to get photos downloaded so I could link them, but it just hasn't been happening. Damn these old computers! Check out the link to Michelle's page (The Wheelers) to see some recent photos of Hayden and the gang.

I'm back at school and Hayden is back in daycare. She's loving it, as expected, but it's really messing with her schedule. I've been so busy gearing up with this new year that I haven't been able to pick her up till about 4pm which means she goes down for her afternoon nap around 4:45. Not good when bedtime is at 7pm. She already had two nights where she went down at 4:45 and slept straight through to the next morning. Not good. I hate to see her miss dinner and sleep in her clothes. Ick. So, last week I tried to wake her up one night to feed her dinner. Boy was that a mistake. I really do get the "don't wake a sleeping baby" thing now. Good God was she a mess. She screamed for a half hour non stop until I gave up, put her pjs on her and put her back to bed. She was out in seconds. The plan now is to get out of work a bit earlier so we can get back on a regular schedule. We'll see....

In other news: She walks! Real, getting places on two feet walking. If she's in a hurry, she still crawls, but walking is getting to be more and more of a habit. She still doesn't say "Mommy" which makes me kind of sad, but she does say "Daddy" a whole lot, along with "Uh Oh" "No" and "Da" for "that", and "De" for dog and cat. And, of course "Aduguadee" for just about everything of interest to her. We're pretty sure it means, "Get a load of that!"
