Today we went to MSI for the second time this week! They had the grand opening of the Christmas tree exhibit today and a friend and her daughter went with A and me. Her daughter is about 9 months older than A, so it was an exciting trip. They lit the grand tree while we were there and it was so cool! It is Dr. Seuss themed, something straight out of Whoville if you will. The museum also had a gingerbread replica of Whoville in the Foyer. Since it was the grand opening there was a Grinch walking around, and my friend got a picture for us.
Since we were gone all day I attempted to put A down for a nice little nap since she was yawning and acting sleeping. Well, this is what I walked in to:
Needless to say, I called Chris to have him look. His response was, "Well I guess it is time to lower the bed. Baby girl, I was hoping to get a few more months of the higher level out of that." So yes, for her 6 month check-up tomorrow I can tell the doctor that A is pulling up on things. She was really interested in the wood railing, something new to gnaw on you know. She still hasn't cut any teeth, but she's drooling buckets and gnawing on anything -- paper and metal rings seem to be her favorite things. Here is a good picture of her looking at herself in the mirror at the MSI today:
A has also started "eating" with us. She shows interest in food, but doesn't know what to do with it when she has some. She grabbed a handful of rice out of Chris's bowl this past weekend. She just looked at us once she did it, not really knowing what was going on. We sit her in her bumbo and give her a spoon and plate these days while we eat. She likes to gnaw on both things. This past weekend she also took a sippy cup full of milk! This is huge as she never took a bottle, so maybe all that expressed milk can be useful.
We are enjoying our weather and getting ready for the holiday season. Thanksgiving should be fun, then Advent, and then Christmas. Hopefully we will have a nice long Christmas break. I have talked with Westwood and I'll teach two classes in the Spring term.
We are continuing to look for jobs, so keep that in your prayers please. I'll try and post stats tomorrow as we see the doc in the morning. A and I will both be getting shots though, so we'll see how it goes.
