Walking...and apparently not napping today

As usual we've been busy here. Sorry about no updates, I've been busy learning all about wine! And chasing after Molly. She has been napping really good, but for some reason today she is screaming her head off. At this point, I think she's over tired. But she has so much to explore, it's hard for her to relax.

Yes, the Molly girl is a walking machine! She is teetering all over the place. One of her favorite activities is climbing onto the bottom of the baker's rack, sitting, standing up and climbing back in. She is sooo proud of herself everytime she does it. So cute too. She also really likes to climb into her walker. Which is strange, she when she was in it before she could walk she usually wanted out...at least when I was around. She always knew to show off for the grandparents.

Hmmm...quiet....shouldn't actually type that, I think she knows when I type the word quiet.

So yeah, I'm officially a Personal Wine Consultant with The Traveling Vineyard! Woohoo! I am really excited about it. I went to my first tasting with my Team Leader last Saturday and it was a lot of fun. I already have 5 tastings planned, and I haven't even had my first event yet. Hoping to get some bookings from those! And I have a list of people who have said they are interested, so I have to pin them down.

Enough about me and I'll get to what you've really come here for :). Yesterday we went to a pumpkin and animal farm. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

11 months!

Our little pumpkin is 11 months old! Unbelievable. She's growing up so fast! She took her first steps on Friday, and is getting more and more comfortable with them each day. Not really walking yet, but steps. She's so cute.

I had my surgery last Tuesday, that was fun. Spent the night in the hospital, think I might have gotten more rest at home with all the poking and proding they do throughout the night. And how come nurses and doctors can't remember to shut the door after they leave in the middle of the night? Do they really think I want to hear the nurses and have lights shining on my face all night? That being said, I can't imagine going home the same day which seems to be the standard care in a lot of hospitals, so I guess I was lucky I had a good surgeon. Recovery is going well, Mom was here to help on Thursday and Friday, and Dad & Jo and Melissa came on Saturday while John was at UConn football. Aren't I the best wife for letting him still go :)? I really wish I could have gone, but knew it would have been too much.


So that's it from here. I'm laying low for a bit, have my peapod order ready to go, which I think might be a better option for me anyway. I spend far too much when I go to the store. I was having a hard time getting to the $50 limit!

Molly is a big girl standing up!

It's still faster to crawl
