Hands, Tounges, & Drool

Okay, so it's not the most appealing title in the world, but it's my world right now! Over the last week she has discovered all three:





So I don't have a picture of her drooling, but trust me, she does! We go through several bibs and shirts a day! Put I love that she is reaching out for everything now, especially when she reaches out to touch my face when I'm playing with her. I can't believe how much she is growing up - she's just shy of 12 1/2 pounds now and we'll be starting cereal with her in about a month.

We're trying to get her on a consistent schedule (i.e. get up at the same time every morning so she eats at about the same times every day), because I'm getting ready to go back to work. Yep, I finally got a job, and I think it will work very well for us. I am now a Medicare eligibility specialist for United Insurance Group. The office set-up is very similar to the insurance company I worked for in Tennessee. It has very flexible hours, which is what I was looking for; I am in the office on Tuesdays and Fridays, and as it is a performance based job, not a per hour job, if my work for the day is done at three, I'm done at three. The other benefits are that it's a job that has room for growth and meets our financial needs as well as the fact that my job stays at my job. The past several years I've worked in the non-profit sector, and they were very emotional-connected jobs. Anyway, I'm excited. :-) Jonathan is gearing up to be "super-Daddy", as he'll be home with her when he's not at the school district. He's looking forward to it - as well as teaching part time, and improving the farm part time, he's going to finish his last year of school. If he can finish his bachelor's, he can get his teaching certification.

So that's kind of where we are, for those of you who've been wanting updates. I do need to run, though, and hit the shower before Emily wakes up from her nap.

Adios!
