Quickie Update

After the last post I thought I'd do ya a favor and keep it short. Really, there is not much to say except that she is recovering well. Had a little fever yesterday (I think she got a bug from my nephew and it is unrelated to the surgery). So a little sleepy/cranky yesterday, but otherwise fine! Very chatty the last couple days and jumping around a lot. Think her equilibrium is much better already...she's always been a bit clumsy and that seems better. Also seems like she is trying out new sounds...singing and talking a lot. Some is still babble and some words are still only decoded by me, but I think we are on our way! It will be amazing to see her in the coming weeks with her newly improved ears!

In other news...it is confirmed! We are potty trained! Just about. Still using a diaper at night.  In big girl pants every day for the last 2 weeks. I am thrilled!  I went out yesterday with her to ToysRUS and finally got her a camera. All that anticipation and she played with it for 5 minutes! ha! We did have distraction here last night with our friends Charlsey and John here, my bro and all the kids so that I'm sure had much to do with it. Probably better off cause Princess Ava and Princess Ruby took turns melting down yesterday - mostly Ruby - every 10 minutes of the last hour of our play date. Probably would NOT have shared the camera!

Rubes is still sleeping like a rock so I am officially hitting the ground running! Every morning I lay in bed and think to myself :THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! GO GET OUT THERE AND EXERCISE! Most days I answer back to myself: BUT I'M SOOOO TIRED! Today I am not. I am sneaking out b4 anyone is up and walking the dog a few miles. I can't take being out of shape any longer! So I let Jeff know to listen for Ruby and I am off to a healthy start! Hooray!

Sounds like good things going on at your house.

Good luck with the working out. I've never really been a workout person, but I've been making a concerted effort lately. Apparently that little voice that speaks to you, speaks to me too! Friday night I bought some white leggings to wear under a short dress. Let me tell you, sometimes looking like a marshmellow is all the inspiration you need. I might keep them just in case I get lazy again. They are an excellent motivator!

SO happy to hear that all is well. hope the fever was short lived.

Out of shape??? Uh, might I suggest new mirrors because you always look marvelous and if you think you are out of shape your mirrors must be wonky!
