Just Because

So, it has been a week with no blog. This is a blog just because it has been a week. What does that mean? It means I don't have pictures and have little to say, but at least your trip to this site provided a new post, right? Cute kid things....

• Madison is still reading books in the car seat.
• Yesterday morning when I gave Jeremy (Jeremy gave me?) a kiss before heading out,
• Madison was watching. When we looked at her, she made a kiss noise. Hilarious - always imitating!
• She now (as of last week) says "May-mi" for Jamie when we go to the sitters.
• Every morning when I drop her off, she goes straight to Jamie, signs "Eat" repeatedly, and then looks at me and says "Bye" while waving.
• She knows to put her blankie back in her crib before we come downstairs in the morning.
• She is becoming a walker! She has walked all the way across the living room. AND instead of crawling from the bathtub to the door, she decided to try walking ... and almost made it. I don't think it'll be long.

This weekend was the big move. We decided to cover up our fireplace (temporarily) because it just blows cold air in, and put our TV in front of it. We decided to splurge on a new flat screen TV just because we'd thought about it for a few years. We took a trip to IKEA on Saturday with Jeremy's parents (we hadn't seen them for awhile, so we invited them to join us) to buy an entertainment center. It was a good trip; of course, it was a longer day than we had planned. That night we put together the entertainment center and rearranged the living room. Sunday, we moved some things to the basement, rearranged our room, and switched up Madison's room. It feels good - like a new house almost. If I think about it, I'll take pictures to post of all the changes. Now, the work week is underway, and we are just trying to keep afloat. Have a great rest of the week.
