Oh where oh where did January go?

Gung Hee Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year! We had a great family dinner on Friday to celebrate the year of the Ox.

I can't believe January is almost over. I had high blog hopes for the new year, but alas life gets in the way! And technology. One of the problems is that I've been taking more video of Desi than pictures and I still haven't figured out (well I actually haven't even tried yet) to download the videos to the computer and upload them to the blog.

Desi's been unbelievable active during month 7. She's mastered getting into a sitting position, she's mastered pulling herself up into a standing position, she's mastered the creep and has started crawling, she's talking (blabbing) like crazy and she's finally getting a tooth! All in one month! Babies are amazing! I actually have great video of most of these milestones, but again, technology is to blame (and of course our busy lives).

Another big change during January was that we got a new nanny for Desi. It started out rocky with one nanny just not showing up and disappearing off the face of the earth. We then found a great daycare, but I don't think I was ready for that. Thankfully, we found Mary and now Mary is living with us and helping us take care of Desi. So good, so far!

February is a new month. We are looking forward to the Chinese New Years Festival and more grand things from Desi. And I hope to capture all the great times on film (or a hard drive). : ) Best wishes to all!
