OMG, another month has passed since I blogged. Geez o Pete! Well, anyway: Greetings from San Diego! Suzianne spent much of her sixth month hotel hopping and watching mommy lose her mind due to clutter, lost items and the debate about how much baby Orajel is too much baby Orajel.
We looked like this for a week while Dave was driving across the country with his tea cup poodle:
But whatever. She’s a happy, healthy camper and that’s all that matters:
I’m pretty sure that picture is blurry, but it’s cute, so I’m going with it. Although, this one is a more accurate representation of what we see everyday:
This month, we watched in awe as Suzianne became more and more human-like. She now sits up without support:
She tries to hold the bottle on her own:
Note the bags under her eyes…this was taken at 5:40 a.m. today. If you’d sleep a little later, Suzianne, maybe you wouldn’t have those bags…and neither would mommy. Just a thought.
She turns pages in a book:
And then eats them:
She also attempts to pull the poodle’s ears, which I don’t have a picture of because I immediately pounce upon her to prevent Georgia’s ears from detatching from her head.
Oh! And she laughs when we laugh. She is amused by our amusement, as Dave says. Also, she smiles on command and seems to know that an iPhone in front of her face means “smile.”
All in all, Suzianne is thrilled with this move and so are we. We’ve found a fabulous nanny-share family, a great dog groomer, and I can’t even tell you how awesome it is to live one mile from my momma again! Granny Sue Sue and Suzianne are quite the pair and I’m so happy they now are neighbors.
I really do promise to start blogging more frequently. In the meantime…watch her grow! Take a scroll through the Month-by-Month archives.
This tale of happiness-in-transition, happiness in general, told with humor and grace, just lifted me (and my whole day) up in reading. Much love to Team Newman.
Oh, MB. I really miss you, girl! Come visit us, por favor. They have mass transit here, too!
