My first "real" post

Holly has learned to do the cutest thing ever!! She can back up (walk backwards). She likes to back up to sit on my lap or lean against my legs. I wish I could get a picture of her doing it... but as you can imagine... since she's backing up, it doesn't photograph well.

Holly had her first Dentist appointment. He said her teeth were "perfect" and that we were doing all the right things to take care of her teeth. We don't go back for 8-10months. She also had her 15mo. Checkup. She was 33.5 inches and 24.6 pounds. She's really tall for her age.

(PS... I've decided to make all Holly updates in pink... incase that's all you're intrested in reading.)

I'm neck deep in reading the Twilight series.... a vampire romance. It' s totally addictive. I've read the first two books (Twilight and New Moon - about 500 pages each) and I'm a quarter of the way into the third book (Eclipse - also about 500 pages). I just started reading on the second. I can hardly put them down! We're going to see the Movie tomorrow, while Marmee baby-sits Holly. It's been good for me to read and let Holly start to do a little more "independent" play. It's nice to read something for fun. It's been about two years. It is a "teenybopper" series, so it very carefully walks the line of decency -- which is good for me... I wouldn't read it if it didn't. My sister and my friend Cindy turned me on to it. Thanks y'all. I'm on team Edward!

I'm also listening to the Bible, on Audio CD (a fab. gift from my in-laws)... while driving around town. I started at the beginning.... Genesis. Man, those early folks did some pretty crazy stuff!! I'm surprised how much more interesting it is to listen to it, as a story, than it is to read it. Big dif.
