A Brief Update

Sunday afternoon, fairly soon after arriving home from church, Jeramy scooped up Moriah again to catch the potty before releasing anything solid. Well . . . success!! After regaining her bearings, Moriah did poo in the potty a very significant amount! Yay Moriah!!! Every time she uses the potty, that's one less diaper we have to change! :-D

I'm debating on whether or not to spend the money on training pants for her, cloth or disposable. Either method will be expensive. Currently as Jeramy and I are attempting to secure a new home, our efforts are concentrated on sacrificing the good for the great and seriously buckling down on our budget. We have been sensibly frugal since we met, but now, even more so. I don't mind. I would rather have a house in a month than a Wendy's frosty today. I guess that's delayed gratification for you.

Lily had her six month check-up and shots today. She will be 7 months tomorrow, the fourth. She weighed in at 14 lbs 11 oz and 26 and 1/2 inches long. She has two teeth very visible on the bottom. She is also sitting up unassisted very nicely on occasion. She still loves her Jumperoo very much. This month she has started to play with her feet - attempting to grasp them whenever lying down or breastfeeding. Lily has also started sleeping on her belly. She rolls from her back onto her belly easily, but still hasn't figured out how to roll, unassisted, from her belly to her back. When she gets tired, she grunts really loudly, like she's moving furniture. She has begun to eat some vegetables: carrots, peas, squash, green beans and today, sweet potatoes. So far, so good.
