Long time no post!

I know I've been awol.  Things are busy busy in the Middleton household, and have been for the past...two months!  Wow.  Two months.

Oliver will be NINE months on Saturday!  Time flies when you're having fun!  He's almost 21 pounds, now...and growing every day.  He's moved from crawling to pulling up to cruising in the time I've not updated, and is well on his way to walking and running any day now!  For the longest, he was working with only his two bottom teeth...now he's working on the top four!  They came in oddly...instead of the front two coming in, one on the left side of the front teeth came in, then the right front tooth.  Now, the other front tooth and the tooth to the right of the front teeth are racing to cut at the same time!  Despite getting four teeth at once, he hasn't been super fussy.  A touch, but not much.

The only other Oliver related update is that he'd learned that if he giggles and flirts before you leave the room to put him down for a nap or night time, you'll stay longer.  Sometimes, he cries when we leave the room, because he's figured out that if he cries we come back.  It's something we're going to work on, so I'll keep you updated.  =)

I have more reviews to post about cloth diapers...I just haven't gotten around to it.  More soon, though, I promise!  I have a Google Doc just waiting to be completed.  Soon.

I have a prayer request.  A friend of mine, Sarah Clark, is in the ICU dealing with a condition called ADEM, a form of encephalitis.  Her brain was super swollen, and though the treatment is working, she has yet to regain consciousness.  God is moving, and she is getting better, but please keep her in your prayers.  Pray for a complete and swift recovery!

I look forward to jumping back in with both feet to blogging.  I've missed it!!
