Is my AppleBlossom really six months old? Can you believe that? I am having difficulty doing so. Well we have been in Tennessee going on four months now I suppose and I still like it as much as I did when we first moved. However, our house is still on the market in Georgia and if it does not sell soon I am very uncertain as to what will happen as our savings are beyond dwindling fast. Enginerd loves his new job and his coworkers; I have met a few and like them too. We are attending a good church, although we are still uncertain if it is "home". 


Every day, AppleBlossom is doing something new. Not quite rolling over, but mostly there. She loves buzzing her lips and blowing bubbles. Squealing is a new love and she babbles in a very high pitch voice - I am quite certain she likes to hear her own different sounds. She can sit for a pretty long time after being put in a sitting position and loves to play with her Classical Star stacker and with her Taggies blocks. The absolute favorite toy that I am certain I would go crazy without is her Baby Einstein Jumperoo. She loves that thing way too much and is so excited every time she goes in it. She is very ticklish and loves to be poked in the ribs. We have started various jarred baby food and it is all very entertaining. My favorite part of the day is when the Enginerd comes home and demands his play time with his baby girl. He is so cute with her and love shows. I got a good 'un. 


I am still organizing some reviews and items for my Babywearing series coming up this spring and I am so excited about it! I'm also starting to review and talk about our Baby Food Adventures as well so be on the look out for those sporadic posts. And of course, I'm reading. The list below will link you to Amazon where, if I reviewed it* my review is there. You can also catch my reviews by looking at the archives or going to the navigational page and clicking the link there (ie Historical, Contemporary, etc). (some things aren't linked yet, because I'm having computer issues... but if you want to read a review and cannot find it... email me.)
