4/20/11 – Death Drop Anyone?

Well, I don’t really have a ton to report on today. Christian had his interview at work today for that day job that opened up. He was VERY nervous about it. His supervisor was pretty upfront with him that there was a really great candidate on the night shift that actually does that job already, interviewing for the position, but reassured Christian that they have “big plans” for him within the company. So, he doesn’t think he’ll be getting this position, but it sounds like they are working on some other stuff, specifically geared for him. We’ll just have to wait and see! For me, work was the same ol’ same ol’, did my usual chores around the house after work (plus a little extra cleaning because my mom will be over to babysit tomorrow). Christian arrived home and we cooked up some Sloppy Joes and tater tots for dinner. YUM. Of course Christian decided that Amelia NEEDED to have a tater tot, and of course she loved it and scarfed it down. She is a human garbage disposal! LOL

I did receive a VERY exciting piece of mail today though…the Ring Sling that I won!!!! YAY, of course Amelia and I had to try it out. Love, love, love it! I ended up choosing a Hemp fabric sling for that natural aspect, and she let me pick the fabric style I wanted for the “pocket”. I just love it to pieces, and can’t wait to really wear it around!

Amelia has a new “trick” that I’m not too fond of. She’s decided to incorporate the “death drop” into her mobility archives. She’ll stand there, playing with a toy or looking around, then suddenly, with no warning, turn and drop forward…just assuming somebody will catch her. Trust fall much?!? Anyway, she’s obviously TRYING to walk and figure out all of that business, but she’s very unsuccessful right now, and I have a feeling we have many bumps and bruises in our near future!

After dinner and some playing, it was time for bed and baths. Hoping our streak of pleasant sleep continues, that’s for sure!!

Here’s a picture of us giving the ring sling a whirl. LOVE!
