moving right along.

*sigh* i need to vacuum my living room. i just vacuumed yesterday. the fact that my daughter is mobile is not so exciting when it comes to house cleaning. she no longer moves backward but she now is an army-crawling pro. well, when i say pro, i mean that she now realizes how she's making herself move and can do it over and over again. it still is not the most beautiful or graceful thing in the world, but it's effective. one of the first things she noticed is the extension cord that runs right along the front of our couch. it's just barely underneath the couch and is quite easy to pull out. it's where we plug in our computer when it's in the living room. it looks like we'll only be able to get on the computer in the dining room from now on. that extension cord is gonna have to go.
lexi is spending the night away from home for the first time tonight! i have mixed feelings about it. i'm kinda sad she won't be here for me to snuggle with in the morning, but i'm glad she's moving on to where she'll be able to go spend the night with grandparents and make some weekends easier for us in the future.
lincoln will be staying at home by himself so that lexi and nana can get to know each other better (they've yet to spend any time alone!) and bond a bit. lincoln's pretty excited to get mommy and daddy all to himself tonight. we were going to have a picnic in the park, feed the ducks, and play outside.... but of course it's a cold and windy day, so our fun plans have changed. actually, lincoln seems even more excited about the idea of having a picnic in our very own living room. he's already brought his Go, Diego, Go! blanket into the living room and asked for pizza for our picnic. scott and i are looking forward to being able to give him all our attention for the first time in almost 8 1/2 months!
i'm pretty sure i'll miss my baby girl for at least a few minutes, though :)
