Yesterday Jack and I were at the Sycamore Mall looking at baby stuff and I got to thinking that it had been months since we had seen a movie. In fact the last time we saw a movie was back in July when we were in Utah. It is very hard living so far away from Grandparents. It would be so easy to just drop her off and go and have a peaceful dinner. Taking Daphne with us to a restaurant is no less than a huge pain in the rear. Even though we can FINALLY put her in a high chair, she still demands all of our attention and by the end of the meal one of us is holding her in one arm and eating with the other. Even when we have had people baby-sit in the past, I just end up spending the entire time worrying that she is screaming or has pooped really big or something. I know it is a dumb thing to complain about. Sorry, I will stop now.
What else? Well, I am still freaked out by the number of hours my television is on. I am one of those people who like using the TV as background noise. Even when I am not watching, I still have it on. I didn't think this was a problem until last week when by chance the TV wasn't on and Daphne sat staring at it like she was waiting for something to appear on screen. Since then I have taken extra care in leaving it off as much as possible and putting on some music instead.
Everything else is great. She is still yelling at us, but I am getting used to it. That's all for today unless something major happens like she actually figures out how to move her hands and knees together and crawls forward.
