More Pictures coming soon!

I was told I need to update more often. However, between work, grad school, and various other necessary activities like grocery shopping, it has been slightly difficult! Melia is napping right now and we are on "Fall Break." Casey went to the Science/Math conference so I have some time to work on the computer. Melia is getting SO BIG! She now has 6 teeth, crawls all over, and can pull herself up on things. She had her first bloody boo-boo the other day and her teeth cut her lip :( She got over it fast, though. She's also had some stumbles due to the fact that she's trying to climb on everything and STAND BY HERSELF! She can't quite balance on her own for more than 3 seconds, though.

Teeth...

Melia recently sprouted three teeth: two front bottom ones and one side top one. I've been trying to get a picture... She did a little crawling at daycare today, but then didn't do any at home. She's had a few one-step crawls for Casey and I but nothing too extreme. She also can go from a laying down position to sitting up all by herself! It's pretty cool. I think she thinks it's cool too! I took her to the park the other day and she went in a swing. She loved it! She giggles and squeals whenever she's doing something she likes.

Another School Year...

Casey and I are gearing up for another school year. Melia is back at daycare this week since we have teacher inservice. When I dropped her off this morning she was super excited to see Diane again and very happy. Our daycare provider is very nice. She is dedicated to the kids and seems to have a lot of fun with them. It's nice that there are only three... one baby is a few months older than Melia and one is about a year and a half. Any minute now Melia will start crawling- she's been on her hands and knees rocking and she scoots backwards, rolls and pivots around to get places. She's beginning to show preferences. We were shopping with Grandma Sue and she definitely "decided" which toy she would rather get by reaching out. She also was very enthralled with a blue block one day but then when she saw her froggy she dropped the block and grabbed the frog... Today she ate little bits of broccoli all by herself. I have a video I will post soon.
