Here goes it...

I know that it must be very disappointing to check a blog that is usually updated AT Least once a week to find that it has been almost three weeks and no update. Shoot me!! Well we figured out that it is not our camera, but it is our computer. Which seems to me like a much more complicated issue, we aren't sure what the source of the problem is, but have spent hours trying to fix it. so anyways. all you get right now is words, which i feel is kind of boring when there is a baby across an ocean growing like a weed in a really rainy season. we miss all of you of course and our arrival there is not so far away, so i am doing a countdown, it is 60 days away. that is 8 weeks and 4 days for those of you who want it in that kind of time. Jonathan has bittersweet feelings about the move, i have feelings of great relief and Elly M. doesn't even have a clue how she feels about the biggest change that has ever happened in her whole 6 month life.

Elly m. is growing soooooooooo fast. it is crazy. We went to the ped. for a general check-up. they were a little surprised about her crawling and her 2 front teeth, i tried to explain to them that it runs in the curry family, but through language disabilities, i am not so sure they understood, because you see not only was there a language barrier for me, but the doctor came from poland and even jonathan was having a difficult time understanding. here are her measurements though: for those of you who use the metric system: 8,600 some grams, 71 cm. long, for those of you who use the American system. that is a whopping 18 lbs. 6 oz. and about 27 or so inches. Elly M. decided last week that she would pull her self up on jonathan's accordian and then scream bloody murder because she couldn't get herself down, and last night while in the bathtub she repeated "dada" to me. i am a little jealous that i spend every waking moment with the child and she says "dada", but i mean who sits around talking about me all day with her anyways. so "dada". i hope next will be mama. but we will see. she did nondiscriminately say "papa", which my dad would be proud to hear. She thinks of him after all meeting for such a short time.

Anyways..... i can't think of anything else so important that the world needs to know about it. except maybe my due date for the next baby is August 8th. It is hard for me to even comprehend another little one and loving it since we love elly m. so much, but everybody says that your love just expands. i have a feeling it is true.

We love all of you... jonathan loves comments on the posts, he checks all the time for them... he would be really glad to get on here and find some!!!!
