Anyway. Mina. She has four teeth now! Two uppers and two lowers. The lowers came in a while back (in August), and the two uppers have just broken through. She also crawls like a fiend, faster than you can shake your fist in the air! She will be walking anytime now, on her own. She has actually taken her first few steps, but without realizing it (I was supporting her around her tummy, and let go for a second, and she kept going...then when she noticed the lack of support, she plopped right on down). She adores her walker, most of the time. I say most of the time because it has its limitations, and she doesn't like them. She wants to get at everything, all the time. I get to pick up books from lower bookshelves, paper from the paper shredder basket, sheet music from a low shelf, and pots and pans from the dishwasher nearly every day. She loves taking things out of other things. I have a tin bucket type thing that is full of playing cards, and it is one of her favorite toys...she just pulls the cards out one by one, and throws them behind her as she does so. It's quite hilarious. Oh, and I think I can officially say she said her first word: uh-oh. Only, it sounds more like uh-uh. It definitely has the right inflections of the "uh-oh"...there is no mistaking that she is saying uh-oh.
Life is good! I can't complain. I have two very small jobs now, outside of home-caretaking and baby-rearing. I enjoy them both, and they bring in a very small income, which is nice. Nate is doing his pastor thing, and really getting into it. His sermons lately have been quite amazing! Badger is doing fine, same as always (ALWAYS remember to put your shoes out of reach when visiting!), and Bill is doing well, too. The whole gang is smiling and well-fed. God truly knows our needs and daily and richly provides...above and beyond our needs! We are thankful.
