New Year

Well, it's a new year! I haven't had much time to think about any potential resolutions or goals. Something about having a kid makes an otherwise quick life seem to zoom by. None-the-less, here are some initials thoughts...

Need to be more proactive - used to be, but lately seem to be content
Need to exercise more and eat better (don't we all)
Need to make more of an effort to temper my emotions - patience is a virtue (deep breaths)
Need to read more, or engage in something other than work that can stimulate my mind
Need to work on relationships - namely husband and friends (reconnect)
Need to get outside more - there's a lot out in the world left to explore
Need to appreciate the little things
Need to hug more and shout less
Need to stop thinking and start doing

In other news...this past holiday with Kendall was a blast! I don't know whether it was the more time spent with her or her stage in development, but she seemed to grow by leaps and bounds (not physically, but developmentally). Some cute things she learned over the last two weeks...
1) "No, No" - complete with little pointer finger waves
2) "Uh oh" and "all gone" - complete with little shoulder shrug
3) To get into cabinets and open drawers
4) To climb the stairs
5) The sign for more...working on book, bird, and drink now
6) To drink from a sipping cup - still perfecting this one and understanding that we need to tip the cup
7) To eat - all sorts of new things including; icecream, cheesecake, yogurt, etc
8) To walk - with the assistance of mom and dad of course

We'll try to capture these and more things via pictures and videos to post on the blog. Till then, peace and love to you all in the new year.
