動いてるよ〜！/She is on the move!

今日は大変な日でした...まず最初に郵便局まで日本にいる私の家族宛にクリスマスプレゼントの詰まった箱２箱を送りに...郵便局に着くと列は外に出そうな位長かったしマディソンも起きていたから大丈夫かなと思ったけど並んでみる事に...思ったより列は速く動いてくれたんだけど、丁度順番が来た途端にマディソンはベビーカーに座り疲れちゃったのか泣き叫び始めちゃって大変！シートベルトを着けてあるのにクネクネして出ようとしたり、眠たいんだろーなーともう少し頑張ってって抱っこしながらやっと終わり！外に出て歩き出した途端予想通り眠っちゃいました。そのあと家を通り越してパネラブレッドに朝ご飯を食べに行きながら朝注文しておいたクリスマスレターの印刷したのを取りに行きました。今年はクリスマスカードに写真も入れると張り切ってます！外を歩き回っている間ずっと良い子に寝ていたマディソン、そのせいなのか家に着いた後お昼寝一つも取りないじまいの午後...せっかく入ったフリーランスの仕事ができると思っていたら全然手が付けられなくって仕様が無い今夜は徹夜かな！？
話が変わってマディソンが今好きな事はと言うと、あちこち動き回る事！最近いろんな物に興味が出て手に取ってみたり口に入れたりしていると思っていたら今日初めて移動開始：）ハイハイまでは行かないけど腕だけで下半身を持ち上げてずるずるって行ってるみたい...このビデオが証拠です。
Today was a busy day... First we had to go to the post office to send out two boxes full of Xmas gifts for my family in Japan... When we got to the post office the line was at the door and Madison was awake in her stroller so I wasn't sure if she can handle the wait but the line moved quicker than I thought and our turn came up but then she decided that she wasn't gonna stay in her stroller all cute anymore! She started to scream and tried to wiggle out of her straps so I had to get her out and hold her... I knew she was so sleepy and that she would fall asleep as soon as we left the post office and of course it felt like the agent was taking FOREVER typing all the information in the system. Well, we got done with it and as I predicted as soon as we came outside and started walking she was gone! Sigh!
We walked past our place and went over to Panera Bread to get some breakfast for me and then we were off to Kinko's to pick up our Xmas news letter I ordered in the morning. We usually do color news letter but since we made Xmas photo cards for the first time we've decided to keep it simple and just do Black & White letters:-)
Madison slept the whole time we were out which was about an hour and a half and I don't know if that's why but she just could not take another nap all afternoon and evening... So frustrating! I actually had some freelance projects that I needed to work on in the afternoon but wasn't able to work on at all so I will be staying up late tonight... Another sigh!
Exciting news is that our little girl is on the move! She started to move a lot recently and today she started to scoot herself to everywhere! Wow this baby can scoot! She would spot something and will be there pulling or chewing on it so fast that I could not take my eyes off her for a second... So here is the proof:-)



最近夕ご飯の献立日記をあんまり書いていないけど最近作っていませんでした...デイブの両親も来てたしでートに行ったりしたし...これは昨日作った晩ご飯です。カレーピラフとラタテューユ！
I haven't been able to keep up with my dinner journal lately but that's because Dave's parents were visiting or we had date night, etc... so here is what I made last night... Curry Pilaf with Ratatouille and Parmesan cheese shavings.
