WordPress.com has a very limited selection of designs/layouts, and the other one was getting on my nerves because I couldn’t do anything with the sidebar. So, here’s the new one. For now, or until I can find a better one. Bleh!
Lorelai and I had fun doing a little mini-shoot today. She’s so silly. I had to growl at her to get her to smile, lmao. Yep, my kid is weird. (See Flickr)
Reading:
Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer: I’ve read a variety of reviews from my online chicas about this series. The good made me want to check it out, but the bad reviews were, well, bad. However, when my friend stopped by last week with the first book in her hand for me to borrow, I didn’t stop until I was done… with the series. I went out the next day and purchased all for books so I could read (and drool) as much as I wated. 
Luckily my insomnia corresponded nicely with the books; I was able to read at night and fulfill my motherly duties when the sun was up. Definitely worth the read, my friends. 
I’ve read them twice in the past week. Whew!
The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon: I’m on A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Book 6) right now. It’s my 3rd time reading it, so it’s just off to the side and I keep going back to it between books. Seriously, if you haven’t read this series, do. Outlander, the first book, is definitely the best. It’s a little bit of everything — romance, drama, suspense/mystery, sci-fi (time travel), and loads of history. It’s a very intricate story that has loveable characters and a GREAT plot. Two thumbs (and all toes!) up!

Lorelai [finally] had her 12-month doctors visit. (She’s 13.5 months now.) She’s doing well, according to her pediatrician. She’s 23 pounds and 28.5 inches (shorty!) Lorelai talked for her (only a few words) and she was definitely impressed when she copied “turtle” for her. 
Her word list, which consists of a whopping 22 words, will be listed below. She definitely had a language explosion during the past two weeks. She’s been spitting out new words everyday. It’s crazy, exciting, and nerve-wracking at once.
Her word list is: Hi – 6.5 months/12 months; Mama - 7.5 months; Dada – 8 months; Hey – 8 months; De – 9 months; Dog – 9 months; Bye – 9.5 months; Cat - 10 months; Hello – 10.5 months; No – 11 months; Stop! – 12 months; Night Night – 12 months; Ba Ba (bottle) – 13 months; Yum Yum (Yummy) – 13 months; Duck – 13.5 months; Here Go (here you go) – 13.5 months; PopPop – 13.5 months; What – 13.5 months; Done – 13.5 months; Yes – 13.5 months; Mommy – 13.5 months; Turtle – 13.5 months

I’m doing okay, I guess. It’s been really busy around here, hence I haven’t been commenting on others’ blogs. Sorry about that! I’ve been reading, I just haven’t commented. Whoops. >.>
