Update x 100

Obviously, it has been a REALLY long time since I last blogged. So here you go, our life updates:

Eventide:
*Can sit up on her own.
*Can say Mama and Dada. At first she just Mama when she was upset, and she would do it when she wanted both mine or Mitchell's attention, but not Mama has been more focused to me. :) Dada is a new development.
*More baby babble! I love hearing her talk!
*She is almost crawling. Almost! She kind of just rolls and flops around to get when she wants to go. It's pretty cute, but I can see how frustrated she is sometimes when she can't get around more effectively.
*She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth.
*Her two bottom teeth came in!
*She has figured out how to get from laying down to sitting up on her own.
*She turned 8 months on January 19th.
*She is so social and fun and smart. We love our little girl!

This is one of the pictures that was taken when we got family pictures done with my family in Las Vegas. One of the reasons I love this picture so much is because you can see really well that she has two different eye colors. You can even see the little blue spot in her brown eye. :)

Isn't she a cutie?!

In this picture you can see her little teeth and that she is almost crawling! Unfortunately she has demon eyes...ha. I can never seem to take pictures of her face with out red eyes.


Mitchell:

*Switched from the Clinical Psychology graduate program to the Experimental Psychology graduate program.
*He is working on his thesis on frisson ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson ). He is researching the correlation between music and frisson.
*He will graduate in the spring. Yay!
*We have been looking at different schools/locations that Mitchell is considering applying to for his doctorates. It's fun and exciting to think about all our future adventures!



Courtney:

*I will graduate next fall! :)
*Mitchell has convinced me a few times to play my violin at church, twice with the choir and once in a piano/violin duet with Mitchell. This is quite a feat, as I wouldn't even play in front of my family when I was in high school.
* I am LOVING motherhood.

I don;t have any great pictures of Mitch and I to put on here...mostly we just focus on Eventide because, let's face it, she's way cuter than us. In any case, hopefully I can get on top of this blogging business. Until next time!
