Grown Up Furniture


DRL and I ventured to HOM Furniture and finally purchased "Grown Up" bedroom furniture. A bed, two nightstands, and a deeply discounted scratch 'n dent floor model Armoire. *sigh* It makes me happy just thinking about it. We have completed our household furniture needs with this most recent purchase, and finally no longer have a bedroom resembling a wal-mart dorm room decor advertisement. Somehow, I feel strangely more mature....





On the Elena front -- we are starting to worry that she may begin teething soon. The drool is dripping out of her mouth like our leaky bath tub faucet, and she's fervently gumming everything she can get her hands on - or in her mouth. I'm surprised her little hands aren't raw from all the chewing. As of yet, there are no signs of fever, no red cheeks, no cranky disposition, and no white spots or swollen gums. So, perhaps she's just discovered how to "chew." My intuition is telling me otherwise....so please, wish us luck!

She is also becoming quite a pro at "tummy-time." She can hold her head at a 90 degree angle and look at herself in her mirror. She even smiles and laughs at herself. DRL and I are anxiously awaiting the day when her laugh becomes audible. Right now, it sounds more like a dog panting than a child laughing, but it still makes us giggle right along with her.

That's the news for now....
