Nearly mobile

A.'s in a phase of rapid improvement in her motor skills. This afternoon she rolled back-to-front via her left side for the first time, and tonight when she started crying in her crib, JJ found her on her back (we put her to sleep on her stomach). She's also raising her stomach completely off the ground during tummy time, and today she started pushing herself backwards (a precurser to crawling). She appears to be so very close to being mobile -- a significant change in how we interact with her, and a huge step foward. It's all very exciting.

After slacking off on the house search yesterday, we had a burst of activity today. A little before noon we got the call that the Lake Katherine/coupola house will be available for a 7 month lease at the original price, with the option to go month-to-month at the end. That's exactly what we wanted.

The problem is that our stuff could arrive as early as this weekend, and it just takes time to get through all the verification and paperwork for the rental. Even after spending today running around in a bit of a panic to dot all the 'i's and cross all the 't's, it looks like the earliest that we could be in is Monday, and our stuff was projected to arrive this weekend. Luckily, the driver is going to be visiting family in Tampa, and he said that if we needed some extra time, he could do that visit before the delivery, giving us a few more days. I think we can make it all fall into place.

Cross your fingers!
