This semester I'm teaching a class on Tuesday nights from 7:25p-9:55p which means that I miss the bedtime routine with the kids. Last night was the first meeting and on my way home I was thinking about how much I actually miss putting the kids to bed. Or at least being there to give out hugs and kisses. I have to admit that I don't miss them much during the day...but there's just something sad about not tucking them in at night. When I got home a little after 9p I walked in to find Tom walking around with a very sad Alice in his arms. She typically goes down at 7:30p, no problem. I quickly brought her upstairs, nursed her and put her down for the night.
I guess she felt the same way.

VA visit
Just a quick post about Alice's stats (before I forget).
Alice had her 9-month checkup on Thursday. All seems fine.
Height: 28" (50 %tile)
Weight: 17 lbs. 1 oz. (10-20 %tile)
The doctor asked if she was pulling herself up to standing and I just laughed. Um, no. Not even close. She then asked if she can support herself when you stand her up. I said "yes" and tried to demonstrate except that Miss Alice kept spreading her legs out to the sides trying to do the splits every time I tried. Oh, that girl. At least she started doing the army crawl the week before, so the Dr. wasn't too worried about her lack of gross motor skills.
I think she's trying to clap...but again, those gross motor skills are holding her back ;)
Alice has turned into a social little girl. She LOVES parties and being passed around and paid attention too. She will let you know if she's not getting the attention she thinks she deserves.
Me and the kids are spending a few days in VA with my family. Great to see everyone. Hopefully I'll get around to posting Christmas pictures soon.

Alice's milestones
Alice finally started to crawl today. Only took her 9 months! And by crawl I mean the army crawl on her belly...not full on crawling. She's already causing trouble with her new found freedom.
She's also starting to vocalize more...she can say "dada" "mama" "nana"...they don't mean anything. She's just making the sounds. She also squeals like a little girl and growls and pants like a little dog.
So obviously we made it back from Minnesota. We had a great 10 day visit with the family. I'll try to post some pictures soon!
Happy New Year!
