Since Thanksgiving, the Valdes house has been pretty busy! And no, there's no pictures of all the busy-ness. (Should be spelled business, but oh, the confusion it would cause...) I've been a terrible picture taking Mom lately! I'm due to post a whole bunch soon, though. But it doesn't help that Scarlett thinks it's more fun to attack the camera then to actually pose for it.
Here's just a quick update, for all those who have waited patiently:
The semester at Woodland Community College ended, and so now I have a nice long break. The last week was an absolute logistical nightmare. I don't know why they expect English teachers to be able to handle paperwork and technical computer systems because we've been immersed in a book our whole lives. Anyway, so that all got sorted out and now I can offically kick back with a box of chocolates and blogging.
What's that? Oh yeah, except I can't! Scarlett is a mover and a shaker. She crawls so fast she can keep up with most walkers. It's pretty cute, her little butt shaking in the air as she scoots down the hall, but I'm looking forward to her walking. Speaking of which, she's now cruising (a term I don't like, but is generally accepted in baby-speak, so I'll use it) around the furniture and can even transfer from one piece of furniture to another one-handed. She's actually been able to do that for awhile. She can stand on her own, but there's really nothing else going on from there. Why walk all wobbly and risk falling when crawling is just so efficient? But hopefully soon she'll be walking. She's ten months and my mom says that my brothers and I all walked at eleven.
Scarlett has also discovered that unwrapping gifts is a lot of fun! She likes to snag the gifts we have around and rip open the paper. (My own fault for buying the cheap stuff.)
I guess that's it. Photos to come!
