Ally is growing lots, discovering new things to do with her hands and just starting to laugh. She seems to be keeping her even temperment and sense of humor even though we've lived in 4 different houses since she was born. Luckily, our remodel is finally starting to take shape this week, giving us hope that we'll be back home by the time Ally is crawling. I'm also getting organized in preparation to go back to work and welcoming advice from other moms who have survived the transition. I'm sure that it will be harder on me than it will be on Ally no doubt.
