A much needed update

I know it's been awhile and I really thought that I didn't have much to write about, but as I'm sitting here typing this I just realized the last few weeks have been pretty eventful. I've been trying to let Diara feed herself. She does really good if I put the food on a spoon and hand it to her, but if I let her do it all by herself I think she gets more in her lap than in her mouth. Here's a video of her feeding herself oatmeal.



The quarter is finally over for me at the community college. I was really just hoping to pass my philosophy, but I ended up getting a 3.1 in that class and a 4.0 in my sociology class. Next semester I'm taking Black Thought and Culture as my Distance learning class and I enrolled in Sociology 101 by the same teacher as this past quarter for my night class. I think I'm pretty close to getting my Associates in Arts. I have to get my credits evaluated which I've really been putting off for awhile. I really need to get on the ball about that so I know what classes I have left to take.

We got a big surprise this week when I went to the doctor because I've been feeling really tired lately. I thought I might have developed iron deficient anemia again, but much to our surprise I'm pregnant again. We don't have an official due date from the doctor yet, but my calculation puts the due date at August 27th, 2010. So ready or not, here we go again. Luckily we should be getting a really big tax return this year and we now know where that will be going. We still haven't gotten Diara and actual crib, so Chris is insisting that we get 2 convertible cribs instead of a toddler bed for Diara and a convertible crib for the new baby. He has BIG plans for their room. So big that I'm not sure everything is going to fit in that tiny room, but I guess we'll soon find out.

Chris got really excited the other day because he realized that Diara will respond to certain words with gestures. Here's a couple videos of all of the gestures she can do.





(I'm not sure if she's actually saying Daddy. Because she makes the exact same sound for Mommy, Baby, and just about anything else you ask her to say.)
