I am a slacker!

Cassie is now 9 months old.What can I say about her?She is stubborn,she is sweet,she has giggles and cries,she melts our hearts.You can walk in the room and her face will just brighten up!The way she looks at Richard is something I will never forget.Once upon a time,i thought one child was enough,boy was i wrong,I cannot imagine life without adding little Miss Cassie to our family!We had been through hell when Richard was born,not sure what the future held for him.But fast forward to 4 years later,he is an amazingly smart child,stubborn like his sister,with temper tantrums that will drive you insane,but when he comes to you and tells you:MOMMY I LOVE YOU,it makes my day!Nothing like knowing he now really means it.Cassie is still breastfeeding.We hit the 9 month milestone.And to think I almost didn'try.I have to thank Charmaine,CArol,Angie and Rose for my success,oh and obviously myself for not giving up through the pain and the biting.I discovered something so easy and that has been around for centuries but I knew nothing about with Richard,BABYWEARING,seriously I love love love it.I love my mei tai,and i just bought an ergo,I wear Cassie for hours around the mall.Apparently every 30 minutes that you walk carrying a baby you burn a little under 200 calories.I have became a little crunchy.I have practiced some cosleeping,i=I have grown my own plants and made babyfood out of my produce,and let me tell you,feeding her my own stuff has been so saddisfying!We are soon moving to Japan,it took 7 garage sales and our suv stuffed of stuff to get rid of most extras,i recently sold the train table and the futon will be out of the house asap.2 more months and tons to do still.I feel like O am so not ready yet!In the meantime we do what we can,Reinassance faire,children's museum in Round Lake,Union Train Museum,Dinosaur museum,Police of Lake County event and more!
