It's February???

Hi. When I tell you I can't believe it's February, I mean it. I cannot fathom how close Maizey's first birthday is. I feel like it was just February 2008.

A couple of things:

-I skinned a cat yesterday, in case you hadn't heard. It was awful, but the worst part really was the anticipation. The 2nd worst part was sawing off the tail. The 3rd worst part is now every time I see Allie I think about what she looks like underneath her skin. The 4th worst part was pulling the big, heavy, dead, drenched cat out of the sterile bag by it's hind legs. The 5th worst part was when my instructor accidentally broke one of the cats legs and we heard it.

-We are switching to disposable diapers...I know, I feel terrible, but we have to. I can't possibly clean another poopy cloth diaper it's disgusting and time consuming. She is almost grown out of the cloths anyway and we were going to need to buy the 2nd round, but we're just going to use disposable. I'm so relieved.

-Ryan is holding Maizey on his lap right now and trying to talk to me. Every time he starts talking, Maizey starts talking--and louder than him. It's sososo funny/cute.

-Both of Maizey's top teeth have broken through. She's still pretty miserable and drooling up a storm!

-She's so mobile now. Ubermobile. She's not happy unless she is standing up. She can still only stand holding onto something, but she walks all over the house that way! Walking is right around the corner.

-I'm kicking ass and taking names in Anatomy. I got the highest grade on our last exam. It's the hardest class I've ever had (just because of the sheer volume of work), so I'm thrilled to be pulling it off.

-Maizey is starting to whine, it's time for a shower and then bed!
