update

here's a video of lana 'talking'....she does quite a bit of this these days.

and here is a super cute picture of lana. this outfit is from some good friends of drew's family in oregon. it's size newborn, but is just now fitting lana! ha! and it's nothing i would've ever picked out, but as soon as i put it on i loved it. i don't know what it is...maybe it just makes me think of clothing from decades ago--maybe when my mom was a baby. regardless, she's adorable. as always. :)

we are having a hard time letting the dogs out since we're missing the fence. surprisingly, i think they're sick of being inside all the time. i'm with 'em. i'm ready for them to have their yard back! the adjuster is coming saturday so hopefully we'll get something going pretty soon in terms of repair. by the way...the tornado touched down 2 miles from us! we were huddled in the pantry waiting for the 'all clear'....the power kept going in and out so it was hard to tell when it was safe to come out. luckily, we didn't lose power completely like many of our friends in surrounding cities.

drew has been sick all weekend, so i've been trying to keep him away from lana. she's still congested (so am i) but slowly getting better. he has a basketball camp to work this week, so hopefully he'll feel better tomorrow.

as for lana, she's still super at daycare. we're trying to adjust her schedule to eating every 3 1/2 - 4 hours...she's taking to spreading out eatings well, but i'm having a hard time figuring out how to make it work smoothly with our commute and her bedtime. seems like she won't sleep through the night if she goes down before 9:15. and it's hard because one of her last feedings at daycare is actually supposed to occur as we're on our way home from work/daycare--impossible. i tell you what...this work/daycare thing is throwing a wrench into my schedule planning! :) so, say a little prayer for us. it's stressful for me trying to decide the best way to change things when i'm not there every second mentally taking notes of what works and doesn't work. it's always harder when someone else is taking care of the baby instead of me....what mom wouldn't say that! so needless to say, i'm still adjusting to having to work. but on a side note, i did finish applying for teaching positions! i'm almost positive nothing will come of it this year, but hopefully it'll get the ball rolling for next year. even if i just get called in for a few interviews with no offers it'll help having that experience.

hope you all had a great weekend. they go way too fast for me. :(
