Quick update!

Well my baby girl is trying her best to walk. She is great at crawling and standing all on her own (not even pulling up!). She just doesn't have the confidence to take a step. You can see it on her face...she thinks about it and hesitates then decides to fall to her bottom and crawl or scoot to get closer to her desired destination. Stop growing up so fast!

She has mastered, "Da-da." Its nice to know she calls me "Da-da" when she's calling out in a cry for me. Still working on the "mmm" sound.

She started today on possibly waving? She'll stick her hand out as if to say stop and then move her hand back and forth like a parade wave. It's cute.

She loves her food. She eats lunch and dinner with baby food. She is still nursing, so that's always part of her meal. She's a tiny girl with lots of energy and a love for her food! She's so impatient she begins to fuss as I prepare to nurse. She's quite comical.

We plan on taking her to the pumpkin patch this weekend to pick out her first fall pumpkin! So excited for some great photo ops!

As far as working and being mom...it sucks. I am always 100% focused on her when I'm home, which leaves my house and job on the back burner. My job is already stressful without a child of my own and now the stress level is higher with less time to do work. I leave as soon as I can after school to get home to her (she has an early bedtime) and I get to school only 45 min before it starts. My stress reliever is almost nonexistent -- exercise. I'm trying to slowly work it back in with the limited time, but the muscle cramping is killing me!

Enough of the complaining already! So excited for the weekend with my family! Pictures to come! :)
