My little low-ride

All within a few weeks of each other, Kendall has learned to sit on her own and to crawl. She is so funny to watch. Especially if we sit her down near the cats, she will roll to her tummy and take off after them, which they don't appreciate. And to boot, she is standing up, too. We can hold her hands and she will stand on her tip-toes. Ahhh...make it slow down!!
I've started planning for her birthday party. What...in...the...world!!!! I cannot believe she is 9 months old already. Anyone have a machine that'll slow down time. I'm freaking out!!! I've been out of work for almost a year, as well. But I wouldn't trade that for anything. I've been really steady working as a substitute but I spend at least 2-3 days each week at home with Kendall. And as a sub, I get to leave as soon as the day is over, no later than 3. I love it. If it weren't for missing out on the benefits and paying back Teaching Fellows, I think I would just sub until she's 5.
I'm also thinking about taking my Praxis for elementary school. Have I really gone mad??? I guess working with all the elementary schools around here has me liking them a little bit more than I did. I really like 1st and 4th grade (take about a huge difference between the two). We'll see how it goes though...not trying to hurry along anything!

update

It's been over a month. So far Kendall has 2 teeth, still rolling, sitting up on her own (but she can't pull herself up yet), we had Valentine's Day pictures done and we got to hang out with her cousin, Robert.

We do have one bad thing that has happened. When we were using Pampers stay dry diapers and they ended up giving Kendall a chemical burn. The poor baby!!! It's still there and we have to watch it. Some people say we aren't changing her enough, but that's not it. She doesn't have a rash, it was an actual burn where it blistered up and everything. But, she was a trooper through it all. Such an angel.
I've been able to substitute a lot lately which is good financially, but I miss her a lot during the day. We have started putting her in the tub to have her bath and she loves it! She splashes and tries to swim. I love her so much.

I hope that she can start crawling and sitting up on her own. She keeps trying to talk, but no definite words yet. I'll keep everyone updated, though.
