Another Year, Another Post.

Yes, we're back and blogging.

What's new? Well, Siena says about 20 words a second and I've got to write them down before I forget.

• "Gobay, Gobay, Gobay, Gobay"- this is Siena jibberish. I'm 80% positive it takes the place of what could be a stutter. She says "Gobay" just to fill in dead space in her sentence. It's hilarious but I really hope it doesn't become a crutch for her language development. Look at me, I am a worried mom!
• "No way, Jose!"
• "Aww, man!"
• "Pink-a-ler" - "Tinkerbell"
• "E-foof-me"- "Excuse Me"
• "Snowmain"

There are more, but I can't remember them right now.

Qiana is getting bigger and fatter, but of course, she's still so cute. She surprised us the other day and rolled over, (actually off the mattress we were sleeping on while visiting our family. I put her on the bed so I could go take a shower and when I got back, she was face-down on the floor, whimpering. It could have really been scary, but the mattress was less than a foot up from the floor. She hasn't done it since, and I'm okay with that. It's funny how with Siena, I was just so anxious for her to be able to roll, and crawl, and walk; with Qiana, I'm fine if she takes her time. Oh yeah, and she's extremely ticklish.

Juan is back in the clinic and loving what he does. He's also started the search for a part-time job as a dental assistant so he can get some more exposure to a dental office. He's also trying to organize a dental outreach trip to Peru with Kurt. They have been in contact with an organization that will help them put the plans into action. It's cool to see the process of getting volunteers, funds, practicing dentists to oversee, and finding destinations for the trip. I might be able to convince him to take me along.......

Well, I'm not up to much other than organizing our clutter at the moment. The next projects on the docket are to finish the play-kitchen for the girls' 3 WiseMen's Day gift and to get some blog headers done. Before I know it, January will be left in the dust.


p.s. Christmas vacation pics to come.
