Happy New Year!  We celebrated last night by studying the insides of our eyelids and trying to ignore all of the fireworks going off in our neighborhood.  Seriously, people?

I won't lie, though, we felt a little lame for staying in, especially when we were invited out for roller skating... Daddy and I both agreed that we were just too tired to be much fun.  Christmas festivities here and in Iowa are enough to take the energy out of nearly anyone.  Miss Aislinn is still a ping-pong ball though... I don't know how she does it.









Miss Aislinn has been a cheeky little devil the last few days.  Her vocabulary has kind of exploded the last few weeks.  She is constructing sentences at least 3-4 words long.  She knows her ABCs and can sing it all the way through unaccompanied.  She's got several other songs pretty much under her belt, but the words are a bit fuzzy here and there.  Pretty sure I've got a budding Soprano on my hands... heaven help me!

She's also been fighting this nasty bum-bum infection again.  She had it worse over Thanksgiving.  We went to the doctor, got antibiotics and antiseptic cream.  That cleared it completely in just a few days.  But she's got it again.  Urgh.  We went to the doctor yesterday and he said that since she got it once, she is prone to it now.  He was very reassuring, though that it's not because she's excessively dirty, but tiny things could set it off again.  Yay.

Potty training... nada.  We had hoped to do some more consistent work this week, but now that we're treating her bum, I think we'll wait.  I'm still not sure she's ready.  She's not consistently waking up from naps with dry diapers yet.  Mommy just needs to chill out and let her learn at her own pace.  I guess since she did so many other things early, I figured that would come quickly as well.  One glimmer of hope is that she has become obsessed with "chang-a-diaper"ing all of her stuffed animals and dolls.  I just keep telling her that babies need their diapers changed, but big girls learn to go on the potty.

It's back to work and school later this week, so we must soak up as much family time and fun time as we can!  Daddy bought tickets to go see Cirque-du-Soleil on Friday :)  Love him.
