9 months and counting








well, summer's finally here. it's only been a week since school's been out, but what a luxurious and glorious week it's been. been to meet the new math department at saratoga...super nice and very helpful. checked out my new room and am anxious to get in there to make it my own. unfortunately, summer school is in there until august so i have to be patient! something i suck at. :) have been enjoying time with chloe and dave. we spent father's day at chloe's grandparent's house with uncle mike and aunt kate. good times. she LOVES uncle mike and likes to show off her "big arms" to him. she recently discovered that she can wave both arms at the same time..hilarious (see video). she also has taken to what we call "soccer pose"...see the photo above. she loves music...shakes her maracas and plays with the baby tambourine..anything that makes noise is her favorite. she also has discovered that she can touch the piano keys and make noise. it makes her laugh. suffered through a 3 day heatwave last week. makes the days feel like forever...thankfully, we have the A/C, but it still sucks. yesterday we finally had relief...in the 70's and the doors and windows open all day. awesome. chloe has her 9 month well-baby checkup next week. am anxious to get her current stats. i think she's around 24 pounds right now and she's super tall. she can reach to the top of many tables in the house and feel around for any items that are lying about. she's still cruising around furniture and using her walk box in the kitchen. yesterday she took one step unassisted a few different times, so i know that the walking is soon to come. she's super fun and gets attention everywhere we go. she's almost always happy and smiling. we're so lucky. :)
