An Update

I'm sitting here listening to my daughter on the monitor and I can't help but smile.  She just woke up from her nap and rather than crying (although she thought about it) she's decided to "talk" and play a little in her crib until I come to get her.  I can't help but just sit here and listen.  I don't want to go in just so I can hear her enjoy herself :)

She decided she'd like to have some company after all...

Okay, now onto the actual post.  I suppose the real point of this blog is that I haven't blogged in awhile so I figure I should write an update so that I can stop updating with each post and just start writing.   There are some exciting (for me) things going on right now in my life.  Tirzah is now rolling over from back to tummy on her own.  It's fun, until she gets stuck because she's forgotten how to roll the other way.  I'm sure it's only a temporary thing, but until she remembers I spend a lot of time encouraging her to turn back over and then helping her because she gets so upset.  She has also discovered the joy of the bouncer.



One of my favorite things is that Jacob has decided to be my exercise buddy.  He's doing Turbo Jam with me and when I do lower body he does weights.  It's great to have someone to work out with, especially on days that I'm tired and don't want to work out.  He has also decided to diet with me as well.  I've been doing Weight Watchers (don't think I've mentioned that yet) and while he won't be attending meetings he is counting points.  Well, I'm counting them for him mostly...or at least writing them down for him.

Last semester went well and Jacob did very well on his finals.  We are hoping for similar results this semester.  We are currently trying to figure out what Jacob should be doing this summer.  He's applying for internships along the coast (places where he might have a place to live with family or friends) and also looking into a few externship options.  We'll see how that pans out.

Tirzah had her first cold.  She had a couple of rough nights but she managed to get through it and is now feeling much better.  She will be 6 months old on Friday.  Wow!!  We are going to start her on solids soon.  I'm sure I'll be posting some pictures of that endeavor on Facebook :)  I suppose that is all that I have to update at the moment.  Now I can get back to my random thoughts and ramblings :)
