Matt and I were pregnant with our first child. She will be 6 months old in 5 days! She is smart as a whip, and that isn't just mommy pride talking. With being 2 months premature, the pediatricians suspected that she could be developmentally behind even until she reached 2 years of age. This is most definitely not the case. She actually almost always passes the "baby development" milestones before the charted "normal" times for a full term baby. Doctor says that if her eyes don't change from blue at 6 months then more than likely they will stay blue. Even though my grandfather and great grandfather both had blue eyes, and people in Matt's family do too....I just never imagined my own daughter having the brightest eyes I've ever seen. Honestly, I'm still not convinced they will stay blue. But we shall see, won't we?
My cat Digital (Digi) ran away. She is declawed and never been an outside cat. She survived the wild of Valdosta for 6 months until she trotted in a lady's townhouse while that lady was putting away her groceries. Her adorableness and friendly manner (and the "Hey, I hope this couch seat isn't taken" approach) led the woman to check the collar and hope we weren't a family just neglecting this adorable kitty. Obviously not the case when we answer the phone and I start yelling "DIGI? SOMEONE FOUND DIGI???" So she came back to us, and we were very surprised.
Riley grew to 52 lbs of muscle, and is an absolutely different dog now that we have employed the uses of a shock collar. To some it may seem inhumane, but she really needed it. No about of discipline stopped the jumping the fence. Nor did making a barrier. She always found a way out. But not with the shock collar! Just the weight around her neck reminds her of what is to come. Ah the bliss of having a well behaved pooch.
The Gatt Mobile is slowly dying, and The Gatt has finally decided that as a proper super hero he must have a proper vehicle that will sport him around. The iron grey Isuzu will need a proper...something. Scrapping for more monies! But this also means that almost all of our Christmas is money towards that new vehicle. But hey, at least we realize that we need to do such things, and also that our families are not only willing but graciously giving us amounts to help.
Which, Christmas is fast approaching. Our tree is already up and decorated, and Chloe has her own. I did want to get her a tinkerbell ornament, but they are quite expensive! Or a tree topper. Ohhh!!'
And, quickly following this post will be another one about Christmas cards at shutterfly. If I do this, I get 50! Yep 50! free ones. Yay!
