School's out for summer!!! I had my last day yesterday. It was bittersweet as always, but I am very much looking forward to the summer. I am in process of moving into a new classroom...boy, I have accumulated a lot of stuff in the 4 years at New Hope. Today, I threw out 3 garbage bags full! I am hoping to finish up the move quickly, but we'll see how it goes. :) I have many plans for organizing our home this summer too. It all depends on how productive I am during LB's naps.
LB is now 9 months old. She weighs 17.6 pounds and is 26 inches long...still a very petite little lady, but is a mover. She crawls very quickly and now loves to walk around the furniture. She likes to push things from one end of the room to the other. LB has also begun to remove both hands from the furniture (or let go of mommy and daddy's hands) to see if she can do it herself. This always makes me nervous...she has many bruises on her forehead from her tumbles. She has become quite the independent little lady. We are enjoying her silly personality and the many faces she makes. Ryan and I have nicknamed her the "Drama Queen". Like most little girls, she is very good at making us know when something is not going her way. We just have to laugh that this is learned at such a young age. :P We cannot believe that she is already 9 months...so close to being ONE already! Where does the time go? :)
