Off-Off Topic... my baby's growing up!

[Jennifer Piersol]

Hey, all.  No Hp-ness in this post.

My baby is walking!

How neat is that!?  I can't believe she's 
technically a toddler already!  Not only did she 
start walking on Friday night, but she said her 
first word last night (Sunday).  It was "gee".  
Translation: "kitty".  I couldn't believe I heard 
that come out of her mouth... she's been so 
ambivalent (sp?) about talking.  Won't even say 
Mommy or Daddy yet.  Gets close to "Ginger", but 
that's very unreliable.  But last night, I was on 
the floor letting her crawl all over me, and she 
looked over my head at something I couldn't see, 
pointed, and said "GEE!".  Sure enough, I turned 
my head and saw one of our cats headed right for 
us!

And she'll be 1 year old in just 3 weeks!

THREE WEEKS!

I can't believe time flies so fast.

Oh!  Ps.  If you can, send good thoughts in the 
general direction of my husband.  He's applying 
for a Fulbright Teacher Exchange fellowship, and 
we're really hoping he's accepted, as we've never 
been out of the country.  Ginger turned up before 
we thought we were settled enough to travel, so 
if it's left up to us, we're going to have to 
wait to travel until the girls are old enough to 
stay with their relatives for a couple of weeks.  
Cross your fingers for the UK!!!
