In and Out

Elodie has blessed us for 38 weeks.

She has officially been outside of me for as long as she was in me.
Each week and day as a pregnant woman I marvelled at how my baby was developing but even more incredible is watching my helpless infant grow into a little lady.

My lack of postings are caused by my mobile child. Elodie started crawling over a month ago and started pulling herself up around the same time.  Her legs are gaining strength daily and she moves around so quickly.  The thought of stopping to eat or sleep do not seem to be high up on her value scale which leaves mom chasing and entertaining.  She loves to crawl between chair legs and stand under tables, play with the dials on the electronics and of course chase the cats.  The fridge, dishwasher, cupboard doors, sliding glass doors and all windows are constantly marked with hand prints and goober.  The stroller seems to be used more as a walker then its intended purpose.

The irony of  today is she is held against me in the fetal position in her Moby as she has her first cold.  As difficult as it is to have her sick its so nice to have her cuddled up against my chest and belly once again.

In  my parallel universe we would be gearing up to start potty training Harrison over the holidays.  We would pulling out the same Green Potty I had when I was potty trained.  Maybe he would even get his first pair of Superman underwear and some shorts to match his Dad. 

It is such a beautiful dream.
