three days.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday is making a comeback this week. We leave for vacation on Sunday and the next three days are jam-packed with a wedding an a million things to do. And I can't think of a fun topic to write about today. Unless you want to hear about my award-winning procrastination skills when it comes to packing. Well, you'll get to hear about that anyway.

Awkward

- My child making a habit of practically gagging herself lately. Her baby fingers are constantly going to the back of her throat. That can't feel good. She does have six teeth...but is nine months too early to start feeling those molars coming in?

- Me and the art of packing. Because it really is an art form, I swear. You have to be gifted (or a man) to get a week's worth of suitcase packed in less than an hour. Takes me half a day, with brainstorming outfits and breaks thrown in there. Hate. It. And I have the joy of packing for myself and S. Probably takes me longer to pack for the baby. Don't laugh. Why hasn't someone invented a way to teleport your closet?

- The neighbors setting up one of those huge pools for their daughter to play in. The four-feet deep kind with a ladder and everything. And there I am with S, sitting in her plastic pool with five inches of water.

Awesome

- S had her nine month well-baby visit today. The shot wasn't too awesome, but I'm proud of my little string bean, she did so well. Played in her diaper on Mommy's lap like being at the doctor's was nothin'. nbd. She's back at 50% for height and now 25% for weight. Doctor says perfect! Now, just need to work on those sleeping skills...

- Long hallways are perfect for showcasing how fast you can crawl.

- Finally FINALLY being back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Although that weight's distributed a little differently...and the only muscle to my name is from hauling S around and trying to reign Dallas in during our walks. But, gotta say I look good in regular clothes again.

- Goodreads.com. What could be better than documenting the books you read? A lot. Still, I'm a book nerd. Check out my profile here.

- Bethany Beach 2012 family vacation commences on Sunday and we'll be baking on the beach for eight days. Sadly, you'll have to go without a new exciting and funny post from moi for a while. Not awesome. BUT I love all nine of you so much that I might just sneak one in there...maybe an outfit post? Crazy Aunt J story post? Cute baby in sand and water photos are a definite. I know the anticipation is killing you.
