The past two weeks have been quite busy.  We have settled into a routine during the day and have been able to accomplish a lot because of that.  We are still working on a night routine, though A doesn't help us in this regard as she is starting the teething process.  She doesn't actually have any teeth yet, but she's become a drool factory and will put anything in her mouth.  She is also really working on the crawling bit, but is having a lot of trouble with the arms part of the equation.  She will accept stuff if you put it in her hand, and is just starting to explore the things around her.  She is rolling over quite easily, though not always on purpose.  She doesn't cry or scream when she does it, just smiles a little.  She is smiling a lot overall, and we regularly get more smiles in a day than tears.  She thinks that daddy will respond to her tears so she will turn on the waterworks for him, but not for me.  She's just a bit over three months and she's already figured that out?! She's also working on sitting up alone and does really well with her boppy. 

The fall term started for Chris this past Monday.  So far it is definitely not his favorite year.  Saturday he had to work getting the lab they remodeled together enough to start class.  Currently his minions are not doing so hot and the TAs are driving him nuts.  We'll see how the term goes, but hopefully he'll get a new position (or I'll get one), and then we won't have to worry about it any more. 

While he worked on Saturday, A and I went to a friend's house and started quilting.  Since I can't find a position and have always wanted to make a quilt I've decided that I will make one for A.  I've got a lot of fun fabric (yay for remnants!) and have cut out about half of the squares.  I'm just working on the top part right now, and that isn't nearly as bad as I originally thought it might be.  Hopefully I'll get a job and have to put it on the back burner, but if not, then I'll have a quilt to show for my time.  Maybe I'll decide that I'd rather quilt than crochet or knit and start making baby quilts for people.  I'll put pictures up sometime soon of my progress.  I really hope to have it done by Thanksgiving, Christmas at the absolute latest. 

Other than the developmental stuff with A, stuff at UIC, and me with my quilt not a lot is going on right now.  We have Chris's father coming up this weekend so that should be exciting. 

I'm going to go though since everyone is asleep and I'm kind of tired myself.  Hopefully a quick shower will make me head right off to sleep once I lay down, we'll see though.
