8 ½ Months

Kari started watching Reina this week... and, well... Reina is learning all new stuff! Good stuff! She dances to just about any music. Her dancing consists primarily of 'head banging' and rocking back and forth. She isn't exactly crawling yet, but she is pulling up on stuff. She LOVES to stand. She is also actually moving her feet to try and take steps. I am convinced that she will be walking by the time Kari goes to EFY (in July).

Reina said 'mama' for the first time on Thursday, the 14! I have Kari and Tracy as my witnesses. I was so excited, I almost cried! She also pushes herself up into sitting position... the first time being Friday, the 15 and now she acts like she has been doing it forever.

She loves to watch Patti, Kari, and Alex play Super Mario 3 on the regular Nintendo Patti got from her girls on Mother's Day.

We are really hoping that I will get a teaching job next school year so I can be home to witness more of the huge growing leaps. I am just waiting for DeSoto County to get their allotments... please let me know if you hear anything!
