I have been a neglectful blog mommy. Sorry for not posting any new updates in the last month. Alana has kept me so busy, and by the end of the day when I get a little time for myself before I head to bed, I am just too tired to do anything that requires any real thought. So I sit here on my lunch break at work to post this message, when I still have some energy and brain power left.

Alana just continues to amaze us. She is saying new things all the time and tries to repeat everything. She keeps learning more of her boday parts and can now show you where her arms and belly button are! Her favorite things to play with right now are balls and cars. And anything round is a “ball”, whether it actually is a ball or not. She is eating pretty well now and mostly eats the same food that the adults around her eat. Last night, David made a red pasta sauce and served it over noodles. She just had to have some. It was all over her face, in her hair, but amazingly, she managed not to get any on her clothes! I took some cute pictures which I will have to get posted(hopefully, this weekend). I have also taken some little video clips with my new camera, but I need to figure out exactly how to post those so people can either see them on the web or at least download them.

Anyhow, I better get going so I can actually eat some lunch before my next group of students arrive. By the way, I LOVE my new job!
