Most changes are gradual – including this one… Poppy is sitting up pretty well now. Over the last two weeks she’s been getting closet to sitting unaided and most of this week, as long as there’s a pillow to protect her from occasionally flailing backwards – she’s a solid sitter. Amazing how proud I can be over such simple accomplishments.
We have made an offer on 183 Coral Ave. and it was accepted (finally).
You may have heard about the problems we had with the last house we were interested in, so were were trying not to get our hopes up too much – but now we are signed and contracted… good to go.
The house is big enough with a little expansion room in the basement, across the street from a great park and on an almost double lot.
Our daughter is 5 months old today. The milestones of time help me take account of the monumental changes which have happened. We have a fully fledged baby – nobody would call her an infant… she will never be an infant again.
This is both wonderful and tragic – but luckily more on the wonderful side.
She’s starting to teeth occasionally, but it seems to bother her for a couple of days here and there.
We had gotten VERY excited about a house we were going to buy.
We made an offer, they countered, we accepted… all today (Sunday). We were waiting on the counter-offer-paperwork to sign and send back… well, instead of getting that, we actually got notified that the offer was retracted. Someone else made a better offer and we weren’t given an option to bid back.
Of course, this was after we’d told everyone and after we’d gotten really, really excited about this house.
I’ve been putting off upgrading to FF3 because I was afraid of plugins which wouldn’t work and at this point, I live by many of my FF addons.
Well I feel silly now – having updated… Things seem to be as smooth as possible and FF is much more responsive. YAY MOZILLA!
Poppy at Month four:
This month has been quite productive. She has been growing by leaps and bounds, like
normal. She’s now reaching for everything and
putting it all in her mouth and dropping it on the floor. Nothing is safe within a foot and a half of her. She is sitting up well, if you help her
out. She’s standing well, if you help her out. I think she is just
we had a date last night (our first in 6+ months) and ate Ethiopian food and watched “Iron Man“. Both the food and the movie were fantastic!
Maybe it’s because we haven’t really had a night to ourselves in a while; maybe it’s because we haven’t seen a movie in a few months… but we both loved every second of our date and I personally will be re watching iron man a few times.
I think Ubuntu is great, easy to use, standardized, and built on Debian… what could be better? Apparently – there are certainly some things which could be better.
Here is a great experiment one geek and his girlfriend undertook:
I’ve toyed with Linux since 2002, when I first installed Mandrake. With the latest release of Ubuntu, I was interested to see how far Linux had come since then in terms of being used easily by the mainstream.
