On Her Way

Two breakthroughs for the baby today! She crawled for the first time, and seconds later, sat up all by herself. She had her first solids (rice cereal) Friday night at dinner, too. A big week all around for my little sweetie-pie. She's so happy and pleased with herself, and we're happy for her, too. It's always amuses me how I can rejoice with them over their progress while simultaneously mourning the ending of a stage. It's enough to make me question my stability.

We mailed off our taxes Friday, only to realize when we got home that we'd left the W-2 form out. Not sure what to do now, besides laugh at ourselves.

Looking forward to Easter. We dyed eggs with the toddler today, her first time participating in this tradition. She had a blast and cried when we had to end it. "Colors!" she protested. "Want colors!" But then we got to put stickers on the eggs, which somewhat soothed her. She also got into Mommy and Daddy's closet when we weren't paying attention. I caught her happily trotting out, clutching a stuffed lamb to her chest, liberated from the Easter basket of course. She sobbed when I took it away from her. At least I know she'll really enjoy it tomorrow.
