Quickie

Leaving Mina was tough for Celebration but we did it. She had a great time at my sister's house! It was so nice to see her again and get back into our normal routine. Having a long weekend to spend time together as a family was perfect after our return.

She is crawling and pulling herself up to standing in her crib, pack n play and on our furniture. We started kind of casually babyproofing, but now we are doing it in earnest. This includes Brian making radiator covers for all of our steam radiators. Oi.

Her sleeping gets good (through the entire night) and then bad when something comes up. Sometimes it is teething. Sometimes a growth spurt. Sometimes a cold. She has a doozy of one now. She now is the proud (?) owner of a nebulizer. Administering that is a lot of fun. Or not.

Brian starts a new job tomorrow. There are so many things up in the air at my company.

It has been a year of lots of new stuff.

I'm so glad we've had some nice fall days. My most favorite time of the year.

We have settled on a halloween costume for her - oh boy!
