BSG, house chores, and walking

Author: Melissa and I are going to the Battlestar Galactica Premiere at the Sprint IMAX theatre on Tuesday, should be fun!
I’ve Been keeping myself busy the past couple of weeks with house chores – painted the bedroom, ran gigabit ethernet drops around the house, and installed a attic ladder. Next things on the list are remodel the office – I think we are going to go for a jayhawk theme and look into rebuilding the deck (if budget allows).
Ada is standing up all over the place, she will pull herself up on our pant legs when she wants us to pick her up and when Melissa and I go into another room and shut the door, she will crawl over to the door and pull herself up against it. When I hold on to her arms, she will pull herself up and take a few steps towards me. I’m so happy to see my little girl walking. I’m sure that before I know it, she’ll be walking without any help at all.

While I don’t resemble every aspect in the video, I did purchase a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special on Ebay last year.
Tags: Ada Is Cruisin’!
Last week, Ada started regularly pulling herself up while hanging onto furniture and taking small steps, or “cruising” as the baby people call it. We had been trying to encourage her to do this for the past 4 months, but all of a sudden she just started doing it on her own and completely unprompted. I’ve come to notice that is usually the way things work in the baby development cycle. Now we are focusing on her communication methods. She talks a lot, but mostly babble and baby talk. The words that she does say, like dada, mean more than just one thing. She will start saying dadadada anytime she is the middle of some fun activity, like playing with her blocks or carrying items and crawling back and forth across the floor.
It’s a boy!
Melissa and I just got back from a sonogram – which was really done to make sure that her placenta was moving up normally, and which it was – but we also got a close enough look to see the boy parts. We are very excited – Melissa especially since she will have the chance to go shopping for new baby clothes to replace all the girly and pink things that he won’t be wearing.
