Bored

I never knew one hour could last so long. I have an hour break between my morning classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Once school really gets started and I get all my books, this hour won't seem long enough since it's very useful study time. But today... it's dragging. I decided to try the Amazon.com method this year with my text books. I only bought the books that I don't think I'll need for a little while online. Hopefully it doesn't backfire. Speaking of online purchases, I used my ipod this morning while I walked on the treadmill, and it was fantastic! It really made the time go by faster and helped me keep a more regular pace (more regular? I think I need to retake junior high english class).

Here's something fun.
Chloe's vocabulary at 14 months

• uh-oh (after intentionally throwing food on the floor)
• ma-ma (her greeting when I get her out of her crib the morning)
• da-da (I don't' think she knows what this one is supposed to mean)
• what's that? (spoken in a very high pitched questioning voice and accompanied by her pointing to any random object)
• ba (ball)
• wow (apparently I say "wow" enough that she's picked the word up)
• circe (her attempt at "circle")

I'm sure she has more that I just can't think of right now. Yesterday she got ahold of my keys, headed over to the kitchen door and tried to unlock the doorknob. She tried a house key first, and then started to hit the knob with the car key. I was impressed. Of course she didn't actually get the key in any lock, but she had the right idea. So I took her out front to explore the front yard. She actually did some pretty good walking without my assistance. I guess she knew that if she fell down on the grass it wouldn't hurt, so she was a little more willing to walk on her own. Luckily it wasn't too oppressively hot yesterday evening.

I suppose I could start waddling to class now.
