Crawling @ daycare.
Big changes in our household. I returned to began official full-time work August 1 (the kind for which one receives a livable wage) without Hannah beside me. She started daycare with a wonderful woman in her home, very close to our own. She seems to be doing great. I have been amazed how much I can get accomplished during the day and how the pace of life is dramatically changed by
- not having Hannah with me changing activities and interest every 3 - 7 minutes, demanding I join her in the newest endeavor and
- not teaching and therefore not continually plagued by planning, running off to teach and then grading and planning some more.
I can be creative and have time to think and consider and be alone. I know the pace will pick up a bit, but it will still never be in the same ballpark as teaching. I will miss teaching. Yeah, I really love it that much, but this new gig was a better fit for where I / we are right now.
Hannah has been crawling since her 8-month birthday. We are about a week shy of 9-months. Whoa. She gabs in recognizable however incomprehensible syllables. She wakes up again in the night for a snack and a snuggle, and I oblige her (secretly happy about this special time together). Still no tooth, nor a bulge, not even redness. This, like so many other developmental milestones, we hope will come about before she becomes hopeful for a prom date, but we will love her even if she never gets teeth.
I haven’t posted much because of our household transistion as well as the fact that about one month ago I joined Facebook. I actually need it for my new job. Kinda cool, huh?
