I feel better, so much better.....

...But I'd feel even better if I could get the Doc McStuffins theme out of my head. Even while Alice is sleeping, I hum the theme songs to various Disney Jr. shows. Now mind you, we limit Alice's TV viewing time, but it's just long enough to hear Hot Dog on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and then Mike and I are singing it well into the evening.

Alice in now 9 months old and has 6 teeth. Time goes by so fast. It's so great seeing her discover all kinds of new things. We went camping on Memorial Day weekend with Mike's parents, and even though it was mostly rainy, we had a blast. That Monday we were able to go to the beach and Alice was delighted to play in the sand. We also got to go to the playground while we were camping, but she wasn't as thrilled with that, but still had fun with Grampa and Gramma Laurie.

Alice is crawling all over the place now and has been pulling herself up and trying to walk. We are in a lot of trouble once that happens. She already gets into everything. Last weekend, we tried to bring her to the lake that my family used to have a camp on, but the water was still slightly cold. She was not happy about it and wouldn't allow me to put her in the baby float we had.

 

I'm glad summer is here. While I don't like the heat too much, I like the feeling of freedom that summer brings. So many more things that we can do with Alice, and I can do my gardening and canning again (which I'm really excited about this year). Also, I graduate with my Associates Degree next month!!! Woot!! And in August, Alice will be 1!!!!! Unbelievable.

Well, I'd like to say that I will keep up on writing here, but sometimes the time just gets away from me. Once school is over though, I'm going to TRY to get on more often... we'll see how that goes.
