I've been on a bit of a media break of late, but tonight, I'm missing my bees. So hi everybody Hope December is treating you well. Any new and interesting news to share?

I'll go: LO will be 8 months tomorrow, and girlfriend has decided that since she's got the crawling thing mastered, she'd like to work on cruising. No, correction, she really wants to work on climbing, but she hasn't figured out that she can lift her feet yet. So for now, she's satisfied with standing on whatever she can, only using one hand for balance, and learning how to get down from standing, the bed, and whoever she happens to be sitting on at the moment. Oh, and pulling her little tree on top of her head and learning to blow bubbles in the bathtub. I'm telling you, this kid is Trouble with a capital T.
