It's great to be eight...

...months that is! Last Thursday, Mary Elizabeth turned 8 months old. It's going by way too fast!!! But, as you can tell, we've had so much fun with her! ME's personality has really started to show and she's finally starting to laugh at "non-dog" things. She's pulling up on everything, getting into everything, and still putting everything into her mouth. She still doesn't have any teeth, though! It's starting to make me really sad for her because I'm ready to start feeding her yummy food. Can you imagine only eating purees all the time?!?! Yuck! Drew thinks that she'll pop a tooth out this week. I've been praying almost every night for a tooth to come out, but no prayers answered yet.

Anyway, she has survived her 1st 2 weeks of daycare, as Drew and I have survived our 1st 2 weeks of leaving her in daycare. It's been tough, and tiring, for me as I cry my way to work everyday. But I know that most people do this everyday and I'm sure I'll adjust. She's already had an ear infection, and I think she had someone from our family check on her everyday the first week. But I think it's getting easier on her. Hopefully, Drew and I can learn to big people like she is!

As I mentioned in my last post, I have lots of catching up to do. But, as you probably can tell, I've started back to work and am EXHAUSTED! Between chasing after her and keeping her out of the dog food and getting ready for work, I've been going to bed right after I put her to bed. So I'll catch y'all up on the rest of her world soon!

Check me out in my 1st high heels!

ME"s 1st day of school

The dreaded day finally came today that Drew took ME to daycare. After much sobbing this weekend and on my way to work this morning, I survived the day. ME didn't help make this transition any easier either. She's been very fussy the past few days because I think a tooth might be FINALLY trying to come through (yes, she's almost 8 months old and still has no teeth!).

Anyway, I've been trying to "wean" myself and her of the whole daycare thing by putting her in the nursery at church and our gym. She's had her good days and bad days in both nurseries. So there was no telling what kind of day she'd have today, considering how fussy she's been.

The morning started off with her crying so, of course, I worried about her all morning while sitting in my 1st day back to school meeting. But Drew reassured me that she was fine b/c he said that she was playing with another boy when she left. Then he stopped by at lunch to check on her and she gave him a diaper "present". The ladies said that she'd been fussy off and on all day when I picked her up. Wouldn't you, though, if your teeth were coming in and you wouldn't take a bottle all day? She did, however, somehow she manage to get 3 naps in and eat 2 bowls of cereal.

OK, I know this all pretty much sounds like rambling, but I'm EXHAUSTED, so I'm going to bed. I do have some other posts that I've been trying to put up this past week, but it's been very hard trying to do it while Miss Priss is crawling around and I just wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. So I'll try to catch y'all up on her world later this week.

In the meantime...do enjoy her "1st day of school" picture in her collegiate style dress. We had to make sure that made a good impression with her looks since she was fussy.
