she's a strange one!

Almost Walking...

Pictures

I just uploaded new pictures on snapfish: www.harbormarie.snapfish.com.  I also ordered the pictures from her 4th month through her 8th month - 750 pictures!  That's an average of 150 pictures that I take of the child every month.  The sick part... I actually take the time to put every single picture into a photo album.  The albums hold about 300 pictures if I get extra pages - it took two books to do months 0-3.  At this rate, I'm going to be broke due to the fact that all our money has been spent on pictures!

On top of this – we just had our family pictures taken (www.jimmysphoto.com/comstock) They are great, but I just realized that it’s going to cost a small fortune to get the ones ordered that we want! 

I think we need to go into the picture business!

Teeth & Tools

Harbor got her first tooth the other day – on my birthday to be exact!  What a great surprise!  Luckily, it hasn’t had too much of an effect on her nursing.  I’m sure the day will come, but it’s still pretty low close to her gums. 

For my birthday, Kevin got me tools and a new toolbox for the house – I was very impressed with his creative idea!  I’ve been talking about wanting one since he’s stole all my tools and taken them out to the garage, but I was very surprised that he actually got them for me.  We also are getting fish for our saltwater tank – it’s been sitting there for years without fish, so it will be nice to have some life in the tank.  We actually went to get some last Saturday, but just got to come home with some live rock… ever since we’ve put it into the tank, algae has been growing like crazy!  Hopefully we’ll be able to bring some fish home this weekend.

My parents gave me cash (and a delicious steak and crab leg dinner)!  I’m having a hard time deciding exactly what I’m getting with it, but the theme is most likely going to be kitchen tools / quilting accessories / indoor gardening stuff.  Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.

 

Something else new – Harbor has started eating dog food!  Maverick’s dishes are raised, so she loves to pull herself up on them.  I’ve been stopping her and digging handfuls of dog food out of her mouth, but I’ve given up.  If she things that the dog food tastes that much better than her food, she can have at it!  

She’s also started standing on her own.  Just for a few seconds (up to 10 seconds so far), but it’s a start.  She’s still only about 8 and a half months old – I’m worried she’s going to be walking soon!
