Wow! I have time to blog. I have been waiting and waiting to have time to blog for about a week now. Now it's here and I'm not sure what to say. I think that's irony, but I better ask Alanis Morrisette. Nah, I heard most of the examples in her song are actually not irony at all but unfortunate coincidences.

So I was in a fashion show tonight for a ladies night sponsored by Fruv, our local yoga/athletic wear store. It was a lot of fun! My friend Amanada and I rocked the "runway". We were even too sexy for our cats. So I just got home from that and to *shock and awe --- An empty house! Justin must have taken Eli to Grandma and Grandpa's, likely to instal the new piece of computerware that arrived today. But still I'm not sure I've come home to an empty house full of no immediate obligation in well, you guessed it, about 13.5 months.

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't change my life for anything but this definitely was a pleasant surprise. I had a snack, I'm blogging now. Maybe I'll go over the yoga class I'm going to teach tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a bath! But at any rate I'm running out of time because they will be home in approximately 10-15 minutes. So no offense but SEE YA INTERNET!

Much peace and love!!!

Longer spaces... fewer minutes free

Hey all!

Well the space between blog posts is getting longer but my time has gotten more precious as I have returned to work. The weeks leading up to this I was trying to squeeze in every second with my little guy. I'm also starting to sub at another yoga studio, yay!! The one I dreamt of working at forever!

But an update on my nearly 13 month old. It was like a little switch was activated at 12 months and his hand-eye coordination just started working. He can stack his rings perfectly and will sit there for awhile just stacking them, dumping them over, stacking them, etc.

He has expanded his vocabulary too! He now says: Hi, uh-oh, duck, kitty, and Na-na (as in banana!) Oh and anything with hair is a Kitty. But if you say Banana he will walk quickly to the place where we keep our bananas and reach up at them. So cute. Also we have a book that is called first words with beautiful pictures and big bold words and he opened it yesterday to the banana page and started going na-na, na-na, na-na. The other day I showed him the cat in the book and he said kitty. But he won't go back and forth between pictures, he'll only say one in the book per day. Such a funny little guy.

I also started doing a baby spirit meditation trying to get in contact with any future children's souls. It is amazing. Elisabeth Manning is her name at Conscious Conception. Justin and I both did the meditation and saw similar things and different things too. We both saw a girl though so we're pretty sure there's a girl in our future. This girl is a firecracker!!! Kind of the opposite of Eli (although he has his tantrumy moments). She kept telling me to be patient mom, I'm coming soon! So I will take her word on it. She also told me very clearly what she wants to be named. I'm not going to be disclosing that however, I'd like that to be a surprise later for everyone! Plus it's very clear she wants to be named this so I don't want to risk other people loving it and naming their child the same because it's not like I can change it later, it's set in stone now or a little firecracker will be after me!

Enough for now, I'm very tired, Eli is STILL working on the top two teeth on either side of the middle two. A few painful nights in and very tired from work as it is means afternoon naps with my babe :D
