Back To The Routine

And we're back! As I told you previously our computer broke. We just bought a new one last Saturday. We settled on a PC. A Mac was tempting, but we have heard that they often have issues, and we have had experience with Macs breaking down. I just couldn't risk it. One day I will get my long awaited Mac computer.

The holidays are over. I am sad that I didn't get a chance to post pictures. (Posting Christmas pictures now is tempting, but I think it is a little late.) The holidays were fantastic to say the least.

We are back in our routine. Spencer goes to work, I feed "M", change her diaper, put her down for naps and try hard to get her to laugh. When Spence gets home from work he also tries hard to get her to laugh. We succeed if she is not tired. (I will have to post some of the footage of her laughing. It really is one of my favorite things in the world. We have gone to extreme lengths to get a good hearty laugh out of our little girl. I would tell you our tricks, but it is just too embarrassing.)

I took the following picture of her the other morning. I wanted a picture of her in these cow PJs. You know how you just have favorite outfits that your kids wear? These cow jammies are my favorite jammies so far. Take a look.

Now tell me those aren't cute.

Yes, our little girls is still the squishiest squisher, and very proportionate. She was in the mid 90th percentile on all her measurements at her 2 month appointment and hasn't disappointed us yet.

As you can see, she is sitting up. She rolls over and can rock on her knees. She has started eating solid foods, which is going really well.

For some reason I find tremendous joy in feeding my daughter her vegetables. I guess it makes me feel like I am helping her to be "strong and healthy". I get so proud every time she finishes a jar of green beans or sweet potatoes. Oh the simple joys of motherhood.

Now, if we could just get her to sleep through the night.

A Broken Computer

So, our computer is broken and we are trying to decide whether or not to buy a new one. I am currently working from Spencer's old computer. It is quite temperamental and I have been avoiding using it because it is incredibly slow and apt to multiple pop ups, surprise crashes and other such annoying habits.

But, I was tired of looking at the "Happy Holidays" blog header (yeah, it wasn't the cutest). I found a beautiful picture from one of about twenty five pictures on Spencer's computer to replace that holiday header mistake. This picture is over looking Montreal where Spencer served his mission (too bad it doesn't quite fit).

It has actually been fun to get on my husband's computer and look through old documents from his college days. I found pictures of biking trips in Moab, pictures of our early dating days, old lessons that he had prepared for the MTC (I like reading these because I have always been inspired by Spencer's testimony and knowledge of the gospel) and the best was reading old letters that he had written to me while I was on my mission. (I had all the letters that he had written to me in a binder, but I lost them the semester I got home from my mission during a move from one apartment to another. I still pray for a miracle and that someone will call me one day and tell me they found these letters with my name on them. At least we have a couple of the letters that he wrote.)

I am pretty sure we are going to get a new computer. I think we agree that it is about time. The question is do we get a PC or a MAC. There is one vote for a PC and one vote for a MAC (I want the MAC). If you do have any strong feelings about what computer we get, please let me know. In the mean time, give me a break if my blog looks like it is under construction.
