Happy 8 months (and a day) Vivian

Vivian turned 8 months old yesterday. She's getting to be such a big girl. She hit another major milestone...this time on her birthday! She was on the floor on her tummy playing with her music table. I was sitting on the couch and watching her move into these weird contortionist-type moves. All of a sudden, she was sitting up. She looked over at me and smiled. We kept clapping and smiling at her and telling her what a great job she did. She was so happy. She did it again today, so I guess she really did figure it out.

My semester ended last Friday and I have two weeks "off" from classes. I'll be keeping busy preparing for the Educational Psychology and Learning Systems orientation and several teaching workshops offered over the two weeks. So much for a vacation, although we're hoping to go to Jacksonville for a few days! :(

Chris had surgery last Friday and had to take a few days off from doing anything, but he's recovering nicely. I think he enjoyed staying in bed and watching bad movies (Armageddon, Pineapple Express, No Country for Old Men).

Vivian is still excited about her solid foods, although we had another yakking incident (not as bad as with the apples) with peas. ICK. I don't like them either!

Poor Lilli has fleas and we found a tick on her tonight. Gotta love the deep south. YUCK!

Oh....we celebrated Vivian's birthday by going to Walmart. For some reason she was VERY excited about sitting in the shopping cart and had a huge grin and kept wiggling...so, we took a pic! :)
