New Trick...

Miss Madison has a new trick. She can climb to the top of the stairs! I'm not a big fan of this trick, but she LOVES it. Always before she would go up maybe 4 or 5 stairs and come back down, but on Sunday she went to the top. I was in her room changing her sheets, and I heard some laughing. I came out and couldn't find her. I saw Nacho at the top of the stairs, but didn't see her. He moved, and there she was!! I was shocked!!! She is really into climbing things now, so I'm not too surprised. She's really fast at getting up them too! I have a few pics that aren't that good. I would like to get a video, but I don't know if that will happen.

In other news, she still isn't walking! Melissa is at a loss, and so are we. She said she really thought she would be walking a few weeks ago, and she doesn't see that there is a reason why she isn't. She would like a physical therapist to come and evaluate her just to make sure that there isn't anything else wrong. She also would like me to start taking her to Mother's Day Out or get involved in a play group. She was going to do some research for me and see what she could find. I would definitely do a play group, but I don't feel comfortable leaving her at a Mother's Day Out. Melissa thinks it would help to get her around other kids that were more her age. All our friends either have no kids or older kids (like 5ish). So, we will see what she comes up with.

And, I'm still in contractor HELL!!! The roof took 3 days (they told us 1), and our windows leaked again!!! We also discovered a soffit that they never put a vent cover on or painted! The window people came and did a water test on Monday, and we think they have fixed the problem. The other window people came today to replace the window that the solar screen people broke. In the meantime, the gutter people are on their way as we speak. Also, I'm supposed to have someone come today and do the vent and the painter is supposed to be here! WHEW!!! I keep thinking that we will be done with all this stuff. It's like everything we do or touch just breaks or something happens!!

Jeff is in Seattle and gets back tomorrow afternoon. He was without power yesterday at his hotel, and they still didn't have it this morning. In case you missed it, they are having a major heat wave up there. So, he ended up going to the office and sleeping on the floor!!! He said it was too hot to sleep at the hotel. I think I would have found somewhere else!! I'm ready for him to be home, and I know he is ready to be home too!
