Amelia is off and crawling now. She had taken a couple crawl steps on Thursday night, but she really took off yesterday. I was playing with her in the living room when she started coming after some mail I was opening. She took four or five crawl steps, and then I moved the mail and she did it again. She did it four times in a row, so I was convinced she can do it. I yelled up to Becky but she was taking a nap with Katie. Our friends the Tollersons and Kelly came over and they got to witness her in action last night. Today she’s been all over the house. We now have to readjust – having to put up the gate upstairs and close the door downstairs – not to mention moving our garbage cans up to the nearest table. She loves toppling over a garbage can.
Katie’s had a good week. She only had one accident and she’s doing a little better playing on her own. Tonight we had our octagenerian neighbors over for some cards, and she knocked over her sisters puff stars. She actually got down and picked them all up. I was pretty surprised.
I’m planning to get LASIK surgery this year. I said 10 years ago that I would get the surgery in 10 years, so I guess the time is now. I have a preliminary appointment tomorrow morning to see if I qualify and to see how much it will cost. I’ve had to wear my glasses over the weekend to have my eyes ready for the exam. My friend asked me if my glasses were pre-1990, but I think I got them sometime in college. They are not exactly fashionable – and my vision is so bad in them I’m a little hesitant to drive. I told him I’ll probably have to wear my glasses for a week before surgery, and he suggested I buy a new pair before then just so I don’t have to look this ridiculous for a whole week. He might be right.
Good night and have a good week.
