Well it's been a while since I really updated. I think I start every post with that these days. Resolution: not to start a post like that anymore. I think it's silly.
I feel like I'm desperately needing to write in my journal- it's been a while! But we are doing great! Snow is still piling up around our little house in the frozen north. I'm pretty used to it now, I think. I'm really feeling very productive these days. It's a great feeling! I feel like I'm able to use my time more efficiently while I'm awake and in between loving this gorgeous baby. She is so cute! She suddenly became much more vocal- like Friday it was like someone turned up the volume on her little voice and she started talking up a storm! I thought it was just because her daddy was home- he always brings out her smiles and her voice ten times better than I can. But even today- I went to go get her from her crib this morning and she wasn't crying, she was just sitting there looking around, talking to herself. Wow- super cute!
We finally got more tapes for our video camera. Hooray!!! I have been missing that video camera for a long time- I'm so afraid this baby is growing up too fast- and I don't want to forget all the cute little quirks she has! She loves throwing toys around these days, I think just to see what happens more than anything, and she still loves her cereal boxes. She is still teething, and sometimes it makes her very sad. No teeth yet- which is just fine with me. :) We are thinking that we will start her on rice cereal soon. At her 4 month appointment they told us we could start her on it anytime, but I just wasn't ready for my baby to eat real food yet... but we are thinking sometime soon we might start. Now that we have a video camera to tape it!
We are loving our calling as the Marriage and Family Relations class instructors. Yesterday's lesson went SO well! I'm one who was scared to death every time it was my turn to teach, but I'm getting more and more comfortable with preparing lessons and standing in front of the class. It's funny because I look at the Relief Society instructors and sometimes I wish for their jobs because it looks so much easier- women are so nice in RS and I know they would be forgiving if I didn't phrase a question right or whatever. Our Sunday School class is a little challenging- first of all we have a hard time getting people to come regularly. We have one couple that is there pretty much every week, and another couple that has been really good about coming since the beginning of the new year, and every one else comes irregularly. I'm ok with that, but I know it's hard for Thomas when one week we will have a classful of people and the next we only have 3 or 4 people come. I think that's really discouraging for him because he takes it really personally. I've never looked at it that way. We've also had a hard time getting people to participate in our lessons. There are one or two people who are really open and volunteer a lot (when they come) but sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get a comment out of people. It's getting a lot better- like I said this last week was really awesome and we had a really nice discussion about Motherhood. :)
We made a lot of goals at the beginning of the year, and we are doing ok at following some of them, but I feel like... I made too many. :( I'm going to have to go back and decide what things are most important and prioritize my goals. Ahh I wish for time... But it looks like my time is up... the baby awakes and calls me from the other room!
