Finally!

Whew! I am finally done with school, so now I can direct my attention to my home and Christmas. Now I'm running around town like a crazy person trying to wrap up my Christmas shopping, while still trying to organize my house that has somehow fallen into more of a shambles over the past couple of weeks. Plus, I "had" to spend some time shopping for myself to replace my winter wardrobe, which was mistakenly given away to Goodwill. I'm not really complaining about that one!

I hope everybody else has things more under control than I do!

In Roman news, his new trick is clapping. He will clap when he hears clapping on the television. He'll also clap when we clap. The other night, he worked really hard to stand unassisted in the bathtub and clap. He did it, and he was so proud of himself! I was impressed that he could balance without holding on to anything. Perhaps he will start walking!

Roman is in no hurry to cross any milestones, so I don't know when he will start walking and talking. He does babble quite a bit, and he loves to say "dada" (much to my chagrin). He is a little charmer, which is good because he is also TROUBLE! That baby can zero in on the most dangerous thing in a room, and then he'll manage to get to it in seconds. We never new how spoiled we were with Ava!
