My baby will be 5 months old tomorrow. Sniff sniff. She's rolling around and starting to pull herself along the floor to get to things. I don't think my other two were quite so mobile by this age. Darn it for her wanting to be like the big kids.
She's both happy and serious at the same time. It takes some effort to get a laugh from her. She's a little more giving of the smiles. She certainly makes me smile.

M got her first report card for 1st grade. She's doing well, which makes me so proud even though I know it really has nothing to do with me.
She also makes me smile. She's quite fond of crawling into bed with D and I in the mornings and sighing happily. "Just us girls," she'll say.
She's back in school and tired out when she comes home which only increases the laments over how unfair everything is. It's hard to be six.
********
K is learning to write his name (finally!) and talking my ear off. As usual. I thought perhaps he would tire, or his voice would tire, but alas, no. When he's not talking he's making a variety of other noises with his mouth. Silence is rare around these parts.
He still makes me smile.

Craig makes me smile too.

I bought my domain so now I'm officially a dot com. http://www.coolzebras.com/ . Much shorter without the blogspot, although my fingers automatically start typing blogspot after the coolzebras.
I'm working on some business cards for my blog. I get sidetracked on the 7863 other things I want to do too. If only I didn't need to sleep.

I'm having fun doing reviews so far. I have 6 that I'm in the process of writing right now. Most are for PBN, but others are for books from Harper Collins and one other product that I was contacted about. There are definitely some giveaways coming up.

I've sold a few more things in my etsy shop (http://sentimentaljourney.etsy.com/) which makes me smile too. I'm told that the Mission Soldier Support is not going as well as was hoped. This economy really needs to turn around. Why did I have to wait for the economy to tank to start an online business?

Archer Farms Belgian Chocolate ice cream is quite yummy.

Norm Coleman and Al Franken are suddenly running "feel good" commercials instead of attack ads. I can't decide which I hate more.

My cat is old and arthritic, yet I still find it hilarious when any movement by the baby makes her jump 3 feet in the air.

I'm tackling a cleaning job over at the Zoo Review today.

My youngest, who is also 6, definitely had that "I want to be just like you!" thing going on when he was a baby, too. He was forever trying to do all that his big brother did, making his baby time seem so much faster!
But what a kid he is! He, too, though, has been infected with the 'always has to be talking' bug! It's fantastic, but you're right. I can be quite exhausting, too!
I love that you remember to mention how your kids make you smile. It's so easy to focus on the hard parts and ignore the laughter kids bring into our lives.
Whoohoo, congrats on the domain! (and the report card, and the cute baby, and ... )
OOooo congrats on the domain!!!! w00t! If you need help with the cards let me know!
WOW! how time flies Heather! I understand completely about noise, it's times 6 around here!! Both my hubbie and I will go deaf by 45.
Congrats on selling on Etsy. Too bad to hear the Mission Soldier Support isn't going better than hoped. There is still time, though right? I hear ya, tho about the economy. Before I got totally sidetracked with my husband's illness I was getting all my images uploaded to my Etsy site, too. I suppose the economy will come back soon. Key is now to try and find something to sell that people "have to" or really "can't live without". I'm still working on that. I'll let you know if I come up with any good ideas.
I can't believe your baby is already 5 months!
...and you make me smile! Great kids, all of them. Congrats again on getting your own domain. Guess you didn't have to worry that coolzebras.com was taken, eh? ;)
I smiled when I read what you wrote about K and how he talks constantly or makes noises all the time. J is EXACTLY the same way. Sometimes, I wish for quiet, but I'd miss it if he never talked or sang to me.
