Spinning Circles

London, now ten months old, doesn't crawl or really even roll, for that matter, but she does spin in circles on the floor! This video is about two minutes long so you can see her spinning action. And she is also starting to take notice of the tv. Make sure the volume is up!

I am behind on posting her stats, so here they are for nine months.

Weight: 14 lbs, 5 oz
Height: 26.25 inches

Today we went to the doctor to check out a mysterious raw spot on the back of her head, which is visible in the video. We noticed it a couple of days ago and we thought is was a bedsore, caused from sleeping flat on her back and not rolling around. Then I started to get a little nervous about it being an infection of some kind, so I took her to get it checked out. He thought it looked like rug burn, but took a sample for a bacteria culture, specifically for staph or strep. We'll find out the results on Monday.

Student Again

It has been ten years, almost eleven, since I have been in school. I thought I was sick of school by the time I graduated high school and there really wasn't anyone pushing me to go to college. Now I wish that I would've just pushed along and gone. I don't know what I would've gone into at that point, but something would've been better than nothing.

So here I am now, twenty-eight years old and starting school again. I have decided that I want to persue getting my RN and now is as good a time as ever. My first class was on Monday and it was Math 107. It's just basic, everyday math, and I am shocked at how much I've forgotten! It's stuff like how to multiply and divide fractions, how to turn a fraction into a percent, geometry and basic algebra. Basic stuff. It is coming back to me, though, so yay for actually being smart even though I used to be lazy and never did my homework. It's amazing the motivation that actually paying for a class gives you.

It is supposed to take me seven semesters to finish with an Associates RN degree, so that puts me graduating in May of 2014. That number sounds like the future. Paige will almost be in high school. At least we won't be in college at the same time.

The Daily Jack

Me: Jack, is your room clean?

Jack: Yes.

Me: Should I go see?

Jack: Just don't look in my closet.

London at Eight Months

This was taken at the end of November, when she was almost eight months old. Listen carefully at about :16 for the funny hyper ventilating that she does. She only does it for a second, but that's what she usually does when she gets excited about something. It's hilarious.

And since I took her in for her six month check up when she was actually seven months, those are the lastest stats that I have.

Weight: 13lbs 10oz

Height: 26 inches

Still tiny! She isn't crawling at all, but she loves to sit up. I love it, too, because now she'll sit and play for a while.

I'm So Resourceful

Well, bugger.

I knew there was a reason I bought that tiny $4 crockpot at Walmart's Black Friday sale.

And then for all of this next stuff, I spent a whopping $32 and plan to repeat a bunch of it tomorrow! Yippee! I love a good coupon deal!

And do stay tuned for updates on all sorts of things. I just need to get my lazy self to type it all up.
