All of our plans, all of the changes we knew were coming are picking up speed. No details to share just yet. All I can really say right now is that it feels so good to be here, just like I knew it would. The mounting bustle of excitement for all the good that is starting to happen and all the good we know to expect over the next year is tempered by daily business: play dates, dinners, the dentist, work-related disasters, errands and watching from the safety of my husbands embrace as the love affairs of friends sour. I am thankful to be in this place now for there is peace within all of this excitement.
It's amazing how much more I get out of being with her when I am able to be fully present (read: I am not overwhelmed and stressed). This makes me really happy for so many reasons but wanna know a secret? I'm especially happy because someday soon she will form her first memory and I want it to be a good one. I wonder all the time about what it will be? Drawing on the mirror with crayons? Kissing one of the cats? Reading with me in the morning?
My first memory is of me standing next to the microwave by the kitchen table and asking my mom, "Is today my birthday?" Apparently I asked this a lot because her answer was exasperated and annoyed - no, that day was not my birthday and neither had been the days that preceded it! It's easier to not get exasperated when life going your way.

Ada is talking more. Finally!! She has added balloon, broom, mano (hand), yellow, boo boo, on, off, turtle, and apple to her vocabulary over the past week or two. This is awesome except for that all colors are yellow and all fruits are apples. She'll figure it out. For now I know that when she asks for apple she really means strawberry.
She also cleverly runs to grab her favorite blankets and flops down on the floor in front of me whenever she is ready for a nap.
Her molars are coming in so she's a bit crabby over the past few days. Hence the lack of pictures. I'd rather not put up pictures of her crying and screaming. There has been plenty of that. On with the day...I hear my girl waking in the other room and I want to go cuddle her while she is warm and sleepy!

PJ said "what's this?" and "cool" yesterday. It's funny because he'll say stuff and not say it again for days and days. :)
